Name calling in that manner is seems petty. Something one does when you have no other potent ammo to attack your opponent.

“Moulton, an ex-Marine...”

“ex-Marine”

That’s not even right, right there is it?

Moulton, an ex-Marine who served four tours in the Global War on Terror according to his official biography …
Good way of putting that.

HUGE language warning on this...but this is a pretty funny song from way back at the beginning of Iraq about Pogues.....or Fobbits by another name.

Again...lots of F words for those that have a hard time with it, but funny as hell

Is this the same word used as Pogey Bait? The stash of food one takes with on an Army deployment. Maybe it’s spelled Pogue...who knows. But ‘pogey’ began during the Korean War and is slang for a females private part.

Marines use to call(don’t know that they do now) candy\sweets Pogey Bait.
Pogey supposedly loosely defined as prostitute in Chinese.
Pogue and Pogey have been used interchangeably.

Still no such thing as an Ex-Marine...except in rare instances for guys like Representative Murtha.

Pogue means kiss in Gaelix.

Why are they calling him a kiss?

Moulton has consistently shown himself to be a Bobby Garwood brand of Marine and a coward. He stood up for getting the Frankensteins out women’s sports, but must have been taken to the woodshed because he now engages only in party acceptable ‘right speak.’
His disgusting remarks about President Trump and Vice President Vance are a violation of “... And to keep our honor clean”
I never saw combat as a Marine but I did as a NYPD street cop and I can tell you this puke wouldn’t last a tour in a radio car in Brooklyn North.
Am I angry? You bet your ass.
Semper Fi to all true Marines and GFY to this quisling Moulton.

Actually "Pogue" doesn't mean a non-grunt: it's humorous term that fellow Marines use to imply that a Marine is a rear-area type with a safe job.

In the case of Rep. Seth Moulton, he means it in a derogatory way - he has abandoned that loyalty to each other we're supposed to have that takes precedence over those who didn't serve.

Combat isn't the sole province of the grunts: it is anybody in theater who is exposed to death and maiming.

There’s ribbing and then there’s derogatory use of these types of nicknames.

I’ve worked with a lot of snipes, bilge rats, targets, bubbleheads, airdales, brown shoes, bus drivers, grunts, mules, whoops, zoomies, etc but It’s always used in a ‘poke, poke, nudge, nudge, know what I mean” kind of way.

I’d never run down ANYONE’S service independent of their role. about 15 years back, I had an older Viet vet presenting to an elementary class with me one day and the way he talked he presented himself as not as worthy just because he served in Europe during that timeframe while I was in the Gulf in the early 90s.

I chatted with him afterward and told him straight up, look I just drove circles in the water-I’m no better than you; but we both served, did our part, and should be proud of that. He kind of lit up a bit after that. Never saw him again, but hope he felt better about his time.
