Semper fi in his eye: There's no mistaking which branch of the military Nicholas Popaditch served with -- his prosthetic eye is embedded with the Marine Corps emblem. Popaditch, a retired gunnery sergeant and tank commander from San Diego, was wounded by a rocket-propelled grenade in Fallujah, Iraq. He lost his right eye and most of the vision in his left.

I think he's entitled to put what he wants in the hole where his eye used to be. Not like he lost in out back playing lawn darts.

I never said he isn't. I simply agreed that it's creepy as hell and over the top.

As long as the guy don't constanly pull it out and lay it on the bar, it's Ok with me, I hate talking to a guy with an empty eye socket, that is creepy.

When he rolls that thing down the bar, you know you gotta buy a round.

I could definitely think of worse things you could have done.

Personally, if I ever lost an eye I'd roll with an eyepatch.

I would not F with that guy.

Yep, he's a badass...kind of goes without saying though, he is a MARINE afterall.

If I ever lost an eye, I would have a small clock put in the socket.

Then my friends good go, "Gosh! Look at the time!"

Now he can literally "keep an eye" on you!

A friend I served with lost his eye when we were over there. He doesn't wear an eye patch or have a fake eye. I'll have to send him this link

I think the clock idea if fucking awesome.

I would put a bright red LED in my socket and start body building, then have fun watching people flip the fuck out.

Just remember to start asking everyone if they've seen John Connor.
