UNDISCLOSED LOCATION — During a harrowing firefight this morning, sources report that at least one Marine stopped masturbating long enough to return fire.

Richard Yankovich said. “Then Staff Sergeant gave a direct order to ‘get our dicks out of our hands’ and ‘suppress the enemy machine gun position.’ So I tucked it away and picked up my rifle.”
While the male Marines in Yankovich’s platoon lauded his tactical prowess, the female Marines were less impressed.
