In the new issue of the Marine Corps Gazette, there is a response to the article that misspelled the names of two Army generals, including that of David Petraeus. In the new article, the first name of Adm. Hyman Rickover is spelled "Himan." Another joint for blowness.

Holy Sh*t, Batman!

Quick, mount a posse and move on MCB, Quantico and stop this travesty before the nitwits at the Gazette commit another dastardly deed! Their sloppiness can probably be attributed to executive lunch breaks where adult beverages are consumed.

I'm not one to point fingers.

I'm not one to point fingers. I've misspelled Admiral Rickover's first name far more hilariously. (You can tell how my mind operates)

But...

They're Marines. Who cares if they can spell? If English teachers could win wars we wouldn't send the Marines.
