A U.S. Marine is getting the boot after he was arrested for hanging a white supremacist banner

[yortsed snacilbuper]

The banner, which can be seen in the video below, read “He who controls the past controls the future.” Next to the slogan were the letters “YWNRU”, which stands for “You will not replace us.” That’s the same chant white supremacists were chanting, along with “Jews will not replace us,” during the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

1. Good. Hope they get all the bigots out of the military.

[malaise]

2. Kick him out

Hell yes

Get thee to the greatest page

3. That's 15 years

Down the drain....

15. Good riddance. All the black hispanic and jewish Marines

He wrote performance reports on should look at their records. Upgrades may be warrented.

At least there will be one less racist Staff NCO deciding on training opportunities, duty assignments and schedules - I'm willing to bet a paycheck that his white Marines were consistantly rated higher by this scabby fuckstick

[chillfactor]

4. GOOD!

We do not need bigots like him in the military!

[ProudLib72]

5. Hope he finds himself downrange

while they are practicing with explosive ordinance.

8. Having been caught in that myself, that's a pretty shitty thing to wish on anyone.

6. Try getting a job with a lees than honorable discharge from the service.

It'll be interesting if he gets accepted for a cop gig in a small town.

9. They are easily appealed and upgraded.

Happens all the time.

[maxrandb]

17. That's actually incorrect

Less than 2% of Other than Honorable (OTH) discharges are ever upgraded, and close to zero Bad Conduct (BCD) or Dishonorable discharges get upgraded.

You have to be able to show gross negligence or misconduct on the part of the discharge authority. In the case of an OTH, the authority is a Flag Officer. For a BCD or Dishonorable, the authority is a General or Special Court Martial.

Sorry, but this stuff was part of my job for 30 years in the Navy.

We used to call folks that told someone their discharge would be upgraded "Sea Lawyers"

[maxrandb]

18. By the way

He is probably going to get a General Under Honorable Conditions discharge, unless they take him to CO's Mast if he's at a Navy command, or Office Hours if at a USMC command.

A General or OTH are non punitive, or non judicial.

Thanks for letting me relive my glorious UCMJ days

[linuxman]

19. Huh. I stand corrected.

I was always under the impression that unless it was a dishonorable, you could get it altered after a couple years. Ah well. Don't be a turd, I suppose! Maybe I'm thinking of administrative separations. Who knows.

7. The sooner we can rid the Corps of imbeciles like him, the better...

...He's certainly no brother of mine...

Semper Fidelis...

10. Except he is, at least in the sense he is a Marine.

I never cared for the "They did something awful, so they're no longer a Marine. They're an ex-Marine" sentiment. The Marine Corps, like all branches has it's share of bad people. To suggest that someone isn't really a Marine by virtue of their poor character and actions is silly to me. It perpetuates this idea that we're infallible, when in fact the Corps is just a cross section of society at large. Many Marines are sacks of shit, and many are close to living saints. There's a whole lot in between. I often hear this in regards to Lee H.Oswald. "He's an ex-Marine" and so on. He's not. He was just a Marine that also happened to be a piece of shit.

To clarify, I'm not strictly saying this is what you said, or implied, but it seemed to be in the same vein. It reminded me of my thought on the matter anyway. If that wasn't your specific meaning, don't take it the wrong way.

11. No true Scotsman. nt

[linuxman]

12. That's what I'm saying.

If you stepped off Parris Island or MCRD San Diego with an EGA, you are are Marine. Period. In perpetuum. This deal does not expire and is valid at all locations, see Chesty Puller for details.

[tblue37]

14. I was just offering you a "+1" . nt

[linuxman]

16. I figured as much

But the way people misuse logical fallacies around here, I can never be sure.

[maxrandb]

20. Can I disown Bannon?

He's a shitstain on Naval Officers.

[linuxman]

21. Personally I guess, but he'll always be one.

Take the good with the bad, I suppose.

[Drahthaardogs]

13. They never controlled the past.

These wannabe Nazis need to read their history.

The Greeks, Romans, Persians, Chinese, English, French, and Spanish all held empires. Some even ruled the world for hundreds of years.

Germans tried and failed three times.
