*DUNHAM, JASON L.
Rank and Organization: Corporal, United States Marine Corps
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Rifle Squad Leader, 4th Platoon, Company K, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines (Reinforced), Regimental Combat Team 7, First Marine Division (Reinforced), on 14 April 2004. Corporal Dunham’s squad was conducting a reconnaissance mission in the town of Karabilah, Iraq, when they heard rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire erupt approximately two kilometers to the west. Corporal Dunham led his Combined Anti-Armor Team towards the engagement to provide fire support to their Battalion Commander’s convoy, which had been ambushed as it was traveling to Camp Husaybah. As Corporal Dunham and his Marines advanced, they quickly began to receive enemy fire. Corporal Dunham ordered his squad to dismount their vehicles and led one of his fire teams on foot several blocks south of the ambushed convoy. Discovering seven Iraqi vehicles in a column attempting to depart, Corporal Dunham and his team stopped the vehicles to search them for weapons. As they approached the vehicles, an insurgent leaped out and attacked Corporal Dunham. Corporal Dunham wrestled the insurgent to the ground and in the ensuing struggle saw the insurgent release a grenade. Corporal Dunham immediately alerted his fellow Marines to the threat. Aware of the imminent danger and without hesitation, Corporal Dunham covered the grenade with his helmet and body, bearing the brunt of the explosion and shielding his Marines from the blast. In an ultimate and selfless act of bravery in which he was mortally wounded, he saved the lives of at least two fellow Marines. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty, Corporal Dunham gallantly gave his life for his country, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
I never met him, but I think this about sums up manliness for me. [/quote]
I think that’s the point…you don’t know him.
You have no clue how he would act waiting in long lines at Mc Donalds…and history has a way of smoothing over rough edges.

My uncle.
He rides a motorcycle. Is damn near 60 but still gets around and acts like he is about 20 years younger. He’s strong, works hard and doesn’t quit. He also knows how to control himself instead of letting his emotions get away with him. Most people wouldn’t step to him even now because his presence is just huge.
These are all traits that I personally associate with masculinity…not just being a good person, but also having that air of strength that people just know not to fuck with that guy…and proving that right through actions.
I expect character AND physical strength in someone I would consider masculine…and no, I am not referring to strength in a woman where she can shine in more caring or nurturing ways.
[/quote]
That’s a good point about character. I think in a lot of ways strength of character is over looked and it’s the strength of character that truly makes someone manly.

I don’t know. I think a person with that kind of fortitude would not act “unmanly” depending on the situation. But you are right I never met him so I don’t really know.

This right here is what I’m referring to.
CPL Dunham is a Hero, 100%, and it’s unfortunate that his positive qualities won’t influence more than the Devil Dogs that actually read his citation.

And here I thought you were keeping up with my sexual history the scorpion you are.
I don’t have a checklist. I like a free flowing sex life, I’d probably have to get in to scat or gay shit to have any boxes to check though, not interested.
And I have to make a confession along the zodiac point. My sex life is pretty passionate. Even flings. I do get pretty wrapped up in them and it’s always intense but a flash in the pan and on to the next, partly for horny fun of course and partly to avoid a lonely sense of vulnerability.
I’m not jealous though. I’ve only been close to love once and had no desire to see others or be one of a few for her but generally speaking I’m fine with casual booty calls, sharing, trading et cetera. just saying as a point of conversation.
Do you have a checklist? Out of pure curiosity, what are your thoughts on younger guys? And what is your favorite type of beer anyways?
If I had a theme song thread in SAMA mine would be Closer by Kings of Leon, repeated for a new woman every few weeks.

I have the same ‘problem’ with relationships. The guy I am currently seeing complains that I go from hot to cold too quickly. I don’t do it on purpose… I get intense then indifferent.

No problem with younger men.

The girl I felt closest too was similar ftr. And a scorpio. We definitely had intense, passionate moments, cool indifferent moments and tense disagreements. In the end it was a different outlook on life and set of goals that set us on our own way.
I like someone who understands me on that level and isn’t hurt by it, knowing I’ll come around again and am engaged (like in the relationship, not a wedding band type “engagement”) even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes.
I feel like an alley cat. I howl at the moon and piss on my territory but sometimes I just want to hide under the trashcan for no good reason.
It seems hot and cold to most women but really comes from the same place deep down. Can you relate?
And did you listen to my song?
These lines make me dig it:
"Driven by the strangle of vein,
Showin’ no mercy, I’ll do it again.
Open up your eyes,
You keep on crying, baby, I’ll bleed you dry.
The skies are blinkin’ at me,
I see a storm bubblin’ up from the sea.
And it’s coming closer… [2x]
You shimmy shook my bones,
Leavin’ me stranded,
All in love on my own.
Do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep?"
And then on to the next.
