I don't know why...but this makes me LOL!I do have an Expert Rifle Medal via the Navy
Marlin...not by any means a diesel expert but I think diesels like to be hot. They run more efficiently that way...thats why big rig drivers leave 'em running when they make stops.

Truckers leave em running because starters cost far more than fuel. A diesel works on combustion based on compression vice spark, so the starter has to do more than just move a piston, it has to compress fuel. Plus, diesels have a rough time starting when its cold.Originally Posted by Triathlete

Once they are running, I don't think it makes any difference.
As for the Navy thing, there are more Navy personnel deployed on land than marines. We come off of deployment, and then they send us to Iraq to fill in for army and marines. No boot camp, just, "here is your new uniforms, the Army needs ya!"
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
