He was a hybrid Hygiene-Equipment Operator-Combat-Engineer-S1-Clerk.<\/p>\n<p>During his tour of duty in Hawaii, PFC Collett ensured that beaches were cleared of mines prior to the landing of the Infantry, and was grievously wounded whilst repelling invaders. For all that PFC Collett did for his country and for the United State Marine Corp, he was only awarded a Naval Achievement Medal.<\/p>\n<p>He saw more combat than veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He had PTSD (and cured it).<\/p>\n<p>He is a doctor, a lawyer, a cop, an Infantryman, an engineer and a reporter. He&#8217;s also Mark Smith.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time we honor America&#8217;s Greatest Hero.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When I say he&#8217;s having a nervous breakdown, I mean it.  He claimed none of you were commenting there, and I specifically watched him deleting comments.  Then he used the phrase &#8220;retarded&#8221; like 40 times, which is both wildly insensitive, and hyperbolic self-delusion on his part.  <\/p>\n<p>My newest theory based on his writing today is that he was a sorority girl with Delta Gamma who sent an ill advised email about his war heroics to the other girls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[By the way Dougie: We get 1\/4 million visitors a month.
