Letter from a Marine

[Elhuero]

My BSometer is twitching. I'd like to have a little clarification on who exactly wrote that and when.

They do make a very good point. Most average citizens aren't going to be in as good of shape as a Marine.

That said, I have seen some real tubby folks in uniforms.

The author sounds like a REMF with too much time on his hands, or more likely a libtard trying to stir up trouble.


EDIT: I capitalized M in Marine per SNAFU's request. Got into the habit of not capitalizing it to annoy jackasses on another site.

This guy can hug a nut. Tom beat me to it, " You Versus Us" c'mon man you are US mother****er.

Assuming this letter is real, which I doubt, the author needs to brush up on his civics and history facts.

1) We are not a democracy, dumbass.

2) Seems to me about 240 years ago lots of folks were talking about how farmers and shopkeepers (office workers of the day) didn't stand a chance against the world's strongest, best trained and well equipped army and navy. Ask any royal subject you know how that turned out for 'em.

Matter of fact, the Brits were slow learners back then. They tried again in 1812 with the same results.

I also have news for this guy. Lots of those "lazy civilians" he dismisses have some pretty substantial military or equivalent experience. And they have lots of other life skills needed to survive confrontation.

Wow...he shot a whole 200 rounds at the range!!! What a stud.

I have to say his viewpoint (again, assuming this is real) is not the one I frequently hear from active and reserve military contacts.

Would armed revolution be a walk in the park??? Of course not. But I don't think it would be anything like he's envisioning, either. Grow up, little boy.

Sad to see this came from a Marine, at least in theory.

Bailey beat me to my first point; we are a Republic, not a democracy. The Founding Fathers new that democracies are destined to failure.

It was spot on who ever pointed out that this shithead thinks that civilians must follow the constitution, but not apparently our politicians.

Really disappointing that he has already laid out the scenario in his head to attack his own country. No one wants violence or civil unrest, at least not me, but to think it isn't possible, is to be unprepared. And while he would be over there fighting, guys like us would be protecting his family from attacks by those who would take advantage of the chaos caused by the meltdown of our monetary systems and such. I believe any action would be defensive.

Regardless of his lack of thoughtfulness, I thank him for his service to our country.

Hence our current rate of decay. Somehow, our elected representatives decided that everyone's vote would count on everything (except presidential elections). Those that benefit from the system without contributing will naturally vote for more of the same in most cases.

This purported Marine needs to examine his allegiances. The oath he took was to defend the United States and the Constitution, not the power brokers in DC that seem to be hell bent on flying this country into the ground. Push comes to shove, if he decides to go to war against the citizens trying to take back his country, he'll likely find the most dangerous fire is coming from behind....

A) If this isn't fake, this guy is an idiot. The constitution and our government is OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people.

If he wants to slay his fellow countrymen to protect a government that is systematically dismantling our founding document, God help him.

Let's just clarify though, He wouldn't be defending the constitution.

The constitution's sole purpose is to protect the people from the tyrannies of government.

Not to protect the government from the people.

He needs some serious history lessons and a big reality check.

This letter was posted on news vine and has been removed. The author if it really a real Marine is listed in my 2nd post. Again could be bs but either way disturbing. Being prior service I took offense to this and thought I share.
