I have shared my thoughts with you many times and you know that I support our military, but I don't support the actions of this young man.

I think this young man just made a mockery of "The Few, The Proud, The Marines". The very first thing he did after receiving his uniform was to show disrespect for authority. He should go a long way...

He wore it for all those Marines that never got the chance to graduate high school, he wore it all those Marines that died serving this country, he wore it to honor every other Marine that wore it before him.

Seriously as any Marine that has ever worn a set of Dress Blues will ever tell you, they are the most uncomfortable uniform that there is to wear.

You cannot move in them,
they itch,
they are hot,
you can't eat in them,
The collar will choke you,
and if you haven't cut down the studs on the collar emblems, the eagle globe and anchors will wear into the soft flesh of your throat to the point where you will bleed especially if you look around a lot and don't just look straight ahead

You wear Dress Blues for really one reason only to honor others, and the pain you feel while wearing them constantly reminds you of those you honor.
