SSgt (Ret) Herrick Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Afternoon gents, Just in case you didn't know As of this Sunday, April 15, 2018 Ronald Lee Ermey has come to rest with his brothers Cause of Death has been confirmed as complications from Pneumonia Born on Friday, March 24, 1944, in Emporia, Kansas, U. S. American Actor Voice Actor Father of four children Years of military service 1961-1972 Highest rank achieved Gunnery Sergeant Obviously nicknamed The Gunny Here are some quotes ******[WARNING]WORDS THAT ARE GRAYED OUT MAYBE OFFENSIVE[WARNING]****** Gunnery Sgt. Hartman: [addressing the Privates] There will be no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops, or greasers! Here, you are ALL equally useless! Gunnery Sgt. Hartman: I will give you three seconds, exactly three fucking seconds, to wipe that stupid grin off your face, or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you! Private Joker/Private J.T. Davis: [Delivered in unison with his fellow soldiers] This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God, I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen. Edited April 16, 2018 by Cpl Herrick 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
