I have it on good authority that there is a ‘bit’ of panic in the Sergeant Major’s Office. And no I won’t comment on the source.
There should be, It was a totally asinine statement and showed to me that the SM was not in touch with “his enlisted Marines”. After 30 years in the military, I have a lot of respect for NCOs and especially SNCOs, but I really question this guy.
How to keep a volunteer force to protect a Nation. Throw em some combat boots an unloaded rifle and put their families on bread and water!
What an Arrogant Bastard!
