May I present The Marines have landed . If you're from New Zealand, I suggest drinking a large amount of alcohol first. Ditto if you're a Marine. Ditto if you're a member of the military, or study history or...

What the bleeping bleep was this person thinking before writing this? I don't... What... *eye twitches* As the member of a heavily-military oriented family, I find this so bleeping offensive. (I've also borrowed a tv studio's profanity filter so I can write this rant.)

The writing itself isn't bad, if the writer were a beginning or mid-level ESL student. It follows most conventions, although it doesn't grasp any form of punctuation. And has no grasp of history... Or...

*sighs* You'd think someone posting in the Hogan's Heroes fandom would know better. Or could at least do a little basic research for World War Two. What's really insulting is that the Mary Sue in this story is almost an expy of the writer--who is from New Zealand, I'm so sorry--except "speshuler". It's just... *headdesks repeatedly in hopes of a concussion*

It's not NSFW, but I find it rather painful to read. 'scuse me, I've got to return a filter and find a bottle of bleepka.
