whats a motard?
Motard - A super over-motivated Marine. Symptoms include : wearing USMC tshirt in his off time, decorating his house with USMC stuff, talking about nothing but the USMC. You get the picture. Usually new Marines are motards...but luckily it wears off after a few years. :)
love the survey! i'm the same way with military movies, i'm like "ummm, that's not allowed" or "he is not wearing his uniform correctly" :).
I love your answer to #26... I jumped to your blog from Semper Gumby's. =)
