An MOS for a chick magnet. You just know he has some war stories.
He should have been more careful in his wording.
Obama is the commander in chief. We can call him a pathetic dweeb who brings disgrace upon the union and is a colossal mis-leader who wouldn’t be able to run a lemonade stand if he was forced to do so and ranks with the worst heads of state any nation of all time.
But, a Marine officer has certain standards of decorum, as I understand. These standards of speech are clear, right?
I hope the next president reinstates him and LTC. Lakin as his first executive orders and then sets to work undoing Obama’s mess.
Marine officers have to show respect to the President. (Not that I know much about the military so you guys who do please correct any errors.)
Any digs have to be indirect or subtle.
I like this video of Obama giving the Medal of Honor to Dakota Myers.
Obama made a joke at the start of the speech in which he says that when the White House called Myers on the job to tell him about about the award, Myers refused to take the call.
He said that he was working and that if “I don’t work, I don’t get paid”.
So the White House had to arrange to call him about giving him the Medal of Honor during his lunch hour.
Obama’s speech writers thought that this is a humorous detail that shows Dakota’s grit or something.
But, I think it was a way for Dakota to show contempt for a man who during the campaign ran against the war in Iraq and has shown disdain for the military and the war on terror consistently.
Imagine: “Hey Dakota. Its the White House on the phone. The President wants to talk to you!”
“OH, yeah? Well I’m busy. Tell him to call back.”

I think this punishment us extreme, but surely this Jarine remembers his oath.
I had to serve under Carter.
I can mouth off now.
The upshot of all this is that Obama has hurt himself more than this Marine.
I wouldnt serve under the resident of the whitehut.Serving under carter was bad enough due to his eneptness. This guy is downright criminal. I hope this former Marine makes out ok in all he does. I would have no problem hiring him and I think there are more people that would do the same than not.
