Nice choice of watch, a nice looking lady....... but that solid wood sofa has gotta be the most uncomfortable thing in the world!

Driver, that dude is harder than woodpecker lips. He probably thinks it's soft, lol. :lol:

and yes, you have to be a slightly masochistic hero to sit on that "sofa" for more than 5 minutes.

Description as Fred said. But he was also immortalised on film fairly recently by "Marky Mark" Wahlberg in the film 'Lone Survivor'.

If any of you guys want to see a harrowing true story of combat survival, watch "Lone Survivor". Or read the book. I am an Iraq War veteran and it is not easy to watch. That being said, it's a great story. As Driver mentioned, Marcus is played by Mark Walberg.

The book IMO is absolutely fantastic. The movie not so much....I saw it the day it came out and a bunch of people in the theater were actually laughing and whooping it up in parts. It really rubbed me the wrong way. A friend of mine (along with 15 others) was killed on the helo going in to rescue the original 4 of which Marcus was the only survivor. I'm thinking that clouded my judgment of the movie. So want to give the movie another try in my house.
