Letter from a Marine

[theGinsue]

Personally, I think his perception of a citizens responsibility to the Constitution is a bit off base.

I think he started off okay, but when he got to the "in a you versus us situation, you'll lose" talk, he lost me completely.

He threw out some stats of Fallujah 2004 - how the Iraqi's lost 1200 and the Marines lost 28. That is the wrong tactic to dissuade Americans, in essence, he threw down a challenge.

Not a good letter. Not at all.

Our marine friend should stop and focus on what our current administration is doing the constitution.

[theGinsue]

Apparently, this Marine feels that it is all okay for the government to ignore the Constitution but not the People.

It sounds like his Obama era Corps brain-washing was quite successful.

Yes I believe he went about that the wrong way also. I dont want to see a civil war either. But if he is comparing us to the dumb ass iraqis that is pretty damn insulting. It sounds to me that he is a typical marine trying to start a pissing contest. And I didnt see any marines on the ground when "I" got to Iraq. Maybe they were to busy running to the defac and missed the bus?

Totally agree, when I got an email with this I thought it was going to be a patriotic email. The letter was posted on news vine, the author may have been a SGT Christopher Calbat USMC who pulled it after being slammed by readers. Very disturbing!

Some people are not paid for their thoughts.

Sounds like he's throwing down the gauntlet. Because he's scared.
Scared that he knows our government is NOT doing well.
I think it is a plea,if it's real,which I doubt.

please capitalize the M in Marine,,I spent 7yrs in the Corps ,all active duty.

No offense to you or The Corps, Snafu. I was just attempting to belittle one man who seems to have his priorities a little mixed up.

[SNAFU]

Thanks,,no offense taken.

There were a lot of fkng idiots in the Corps.
The USMC is not exempt from having idiots amongst their ranks.
Their just better trained idiots.
He's probably some pouge want to be,,with a big brown nose.

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.
