Air Force makes nice with Marines

The Air Force wishes the Marine Corps a happy birthday. Isn't that sweet?
Almost a month after causing a flap by posting a video in which a basic military training instructor suggested that airmen are more fit than Marines, it looks like everyone’s all buddy-buddy again.
The Air Force today released a story on its Web site wishing the Marines a happy birthday on the 234th anniversary of the Corps’ founding.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz wrote in the story: “Congratulations to the U.S. Marine Corps on 234 years of service to our great nation. We celebrate the culture that the ‘leathernecks’ embody — honor, courage and commitment. Your current active duty and Reserve warriors, along with those who have formerly worn the Marine Corps uniform with pride, have all truly lived up to the Corps’ sacred motto: ‘Semper Fidelis.’”
I guess Nortie can stop avoiding Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James T. Conway at those Joint Chiefs meetings.
