1. No words for this filth

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. See what I mean?

3. Well, you know what they say about opinions

As disgusting as yours is, you're welcome to have it.

[MindPilot]

4. Well, you're welcome I guess.

I'd alert, but this shit needs to be out for everyone to see.

USN, Viet Nam, 72-73.

And yes, the taxpayer did pay for my college, and yes I do work for a defense contractor. In exchange I wrote a blank check to the United States.

You got a problem with that?

[Paolo123]

28. not really...

Vietnam is sort of the rough cut-off point. Most of you guys thought there were good reasons for what you were doing. The guys signing up in the last 20 years though? yeah I have a problem with it.

[MineralMan]

5. Low information combined with fixed ideas really sucks.

Clearly, you have little information about what individual Marines do. Even more clearly, you appear to have an ax to grind. Oh, well. Good luck with all that, I guess.

Personally, I'd recommend a self-delete on this post. Others will be along shortly to have words with you.

[Paolo123]

17. No self-deletes here

I can take it.

It's stunning how much the US loves it's military and martial traditions. Even progressives worship the volunteer soldier who travels half way across the world to kill brown people.

[MineralMan]

19. Suit yourself. Consider yourself warned, though.

I'm sure you can take it, since it will merely be some words sent in your direction.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

31. "Even progressives worship the volunteer soldier who travels half way across the world to kill..."

Blame the politicians.

If your response is, "Soldiers should refuse bad deployments" don't bother. What you're effectively arguing is the military should pick and choose its wars independent of elected civil authority.

Don't choose dumber solutions, pick better politicians.

6. Jury results......

7. Kindergarden level flamebait...

Crack a dictionary and look up welfare for a start...

I'm sure there's a story here... Get beat up? Lost your date? Too fat for the recruiter? Freshman year of community college maybe?

I'm almost curious...

[Paolo123]

30. that is a standard response

"too fat for the recruiter"

I have notcied that a lot from the pro-military crowd. I guess they teach you on day one that anyone who isn't a fan really is jealous and wants to be you. lol.

[GGJohn]

32. So you really don't know jack shit about the Military.

Thanks for playing.

BTW, if you really believe your crap, walk up to any service member, doesn't have to be a Marine, and say the same thing as in your thread.

[Paolo123]

39. Violence

Is the only thing you people know, apparently.

"walk up to any service member, doesn't have to be a Marine, and say the same thing as in your thread."

Why do you think violence is a solution to people you disagree with?

[lumberjack_jeff]

14. Don't waste the hide on stupid OP's like this. n/t

[GGJohn]

9. Back at you buddy.

U.S. Army
RVN 1968-1970

[Mugu]

10. Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool... n/t

[GGJohn]

25. Then to open your mouth ahd prove you're a fool.

Guess this OP didn't heed the saying, now we all know.

[sarisataka]

11. That's ok. I still love you

And vote for Franken

The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!

12. You're willing to make an ass out of yourself and you don't care who knows it. Good for you!

[stevenleser]

13. You follow up your Putin apologia with this?

So on the one hand your are falling over yourself to apologize for an unprovoked war of aggression by Putin and Russia http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025801051 but engage in an way overly generalized attack on the US military.

Sergey Lavarov, is that you?

[GusBob]

15. Yes and can you believe if they got the shit blown out of them at Khe San, Saipan or Omaha Beach

they expect a free burial. The nerve!

on this OP

[Lurks Often]

16. Aren't you just a vile, pathetic creature

You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to think you are a pathetic asshole who couldn't make through Air Force basic training, much less the far more difficult Army or Marine Corp basic training.

My only hope is that you are sterile and unable to further contaminate the gene pool by re-producing.



To the Jury: It's been a couple of years since I had a post hidden, but responding to this useless excuse for a human being is worth the inevitable hide.

[Paolo123]

20. I never alert..

So if you get alerted it wasn't me.

[mercuryblues]

33. says

the person who has 276 posts and a member for 1 whole month.

Go sell what you're peddling to someone who will agree with you, like Ron Paul.

[Paolo123]

38. Who has been a member 1 month? nt

[yeoman6987]

29. I thought about alerting, but decent DUers need to see

this. I don't think I have read a worse OP in my life ever anywhere. I am glad that I am not this individual.

[onehandle]

18. Wherever you came from, I'm sure they are falling over each other to see some agreement here.

Denied.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

21. This is the sort of thread RWers spread around with tag lines that read, "Why liberals suck." nt

[dawg]

34. They love to point out posts like this one so much ...

that they sometimes make the initial posts themselves. I'm sure that's not the case here though.

[bobclark86]

22. Wow... just wow...

Had a long response planned, but you're not worth it.

Only this: If my grandfather (USMC 1949-1953), who passed away on Easter, were alive to see someone act like this in front of him, he would beat your ass, even in his 80s.

<places OP on ignore with the two MRA-lovers currently on list, because if they so inaccurately broad-brush a group with as many people as the USMC, I really don't care what they have to say about anything else>

[dawg]

23. I'm thankful for the men and women who serve in the Marine Corps ...

and all other branches of our armed forces.

I was watching old episodes of Anthony Bourdain on Netflix the other day. They were filming in Beirut, and everything went to Hell while they were there. Someone got assassinated and the Israeli Air Force starting bombing the Hell out of everything. Bourdain and crew had to be evacuated, along with other foreign nationals, by the Marines. It was an interesting show to watch. Tony was very impressed by the Marines, who not only did their jobs flawlessly, but also went out of their way to interact with the civilians in such a way as to make them feel more comfortable and safe under, what had to be, very stressful conditions.

I don't worship the military or military culture. I never served, nor did I have more than a fleeting sliver of interest in the armed forces. But it's an important job that needs to be done.

[DemocraticWing]

24. Obvious troll is obvious

If by some faint stretch of insanity you actually believe this bullshit, then I don't think there's anything we can say to reason with someone of your level of idiocy.

[LanternWaste]

26. A lot of unsupported allegations in your post; but I'm beginning to think that is your norm.

A lot of unsupported allegations in your post; but I'm beginning to think that is your norm-- regardless of how you may rationalize it otherwise.

[CountAllVotes]

27. Your post sucks

Nothing much to do with yourself today of all days eh?

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE (not!)

Why don't you go to your local Marine Corps. recruiting office and see if they have anything that might be suitable for you to do with your seemingly unlimited spare time?

[dilby]

35. U mad bro?

Because you seem to think these guys sit around all day doing nothing and thus don't deserve a red cent. Did your girlfriend run off with a Marine?

[B Calm]

36. I just got home from visiting my father at a National Graveyard and

have to read this!

Shame on you!

[lpbk2713]

37. Have you no sense of decency, sir?

This OP is an affront. Timing is everything. This particular time is all wrong.
