So your mother tells me you got a 'D' on your report card...

U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jose Murillo of Waltham, Massachusetts, who belongs to the 2nd Marine Division, shows his disappointment in little Hadji's declining school marks in Saadah, Iraq, Friday, Dec. 2, 2005. When asked why his grades had fallen so dramatically, Hadji claimed that it was because the wall that housed the blackboard 'went missing' after a mortar went off during Algebra and that their Social Studies books are being ripped from their hands and being rewritten every 16 seconds. The Marine Corps issued the statement 'excuses are like assholes, everyone's got one and they all stink.' The USMC then threatened that if these grades didn't improve that they would have no choice but to blow up the TV stations and if Hadji didn't "straighten up and fly right" they would have to cut family food rations in half.
