Marine who criticized Obama on Facebook: I wish I could take it back

[MADem]

Waah, waaah, waaaah--idiot flushed his career down the crapper because he thought posturing to his moronic teabagger buddies was more important than obeying the lawful orders of the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces. Nitwit--you know, they say "Once a Marine, always a Marine" but that doesn't apply when they throw your sorry ass out on an OTH...

I get the sense he's not sorry for his opinions, he's crying because he got CAUGHT. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/25/11396769-marine-who-criticized-obama-on-facebook-i-wish-i-could-take-it-back

Sgt. Gary Stein, the 26-year-old Marine who learned Wednesday he would be discharged for his online comments criticizing President Barack Obama, wishes he could take it back.

“People ask me, ‘Would you go back and change those words?’ I would most definitely,” Stein told msnbc.com. “I would articulate my point better.”

On March 1, Stein wrote on a closed forum for active-duty meteorologists and oceanographers that he would say "Screw Obama" and not follow all orders from him, according to Courthouse News.


“Obama is the economic enemy,” he wrote in the post. “He is the religious enemy ... He is the ‘fundamentally change’ America enemy … He IS the Domestic Enemy.”

1. Well ... tough shit, sonny. You can't take it back. Now, get the fuck out of my armed forces.

And don't let the UCMJ hit you in the ass on your way out the door!

2. When he refused to accept orders from the CIC, and disrespect him, he agreed to end his career.

8. Griping and politics between Joe's is one thing...

Putting it out and making it public and on the record is another...

I have messaged a few of my Soldiers on Facebook and asked them to think about if they would want their posts printed and put on my desk or the Battalion Commander's...

11. I made it a point to eschew political discussions except amongst very close colleagues.

Keeping my mouth shut during the Reagan years was an exercise in discipline I have yet to replicate!

9. lol, so all the warnings he got from his higher ups

didn't work, because he refused to stop these postings or delete them, and now that he got fired he regrets it and says it was a mistake. OK...
