The more the Corps changes, the more it remains the same. You should have seen Boot Camp before "The Ribbon Creek Incident," if you think this is something to get excited about.

I’ll wait for more of the story to come out before I believe this one. As one who went to boot camp in the ‘80s I can confirm that some recruits do some REALLY stupid things.

Well, maybe the DI identified the recruit as filthy muslim.

I approve.

I would have been laughing as the recruit. My dream as a kid.

Hell, on Perris Island it was probably cooler in the dryer than outside

We shouldn’t have muslims in our armed forces. We shouldn’t have muslims in our country. Every one of them is taught to lie to us, hate and kill us infidels. I don’t invite these type of people into my home, I don’t want them in my country.

Had he put the goat-humping savage through the washer first, there would be no complaints.

My only problem with this is if the DI didn’t run him through the wash cycle first.

It could be that the drill instructor took the phrase “unwashed masses” literally, thinking that it said “unwashed Muslims”.

I graduated 10 years later ('66) and I can assure you, it was NOT a bed of roses.

I guess it is wrong that my first thought was “Why only one?”

Since this appeared in the pro-military Washington Post, I’ll wait for additional confirmation that it really happened. Taqqiyah & all that stuff.

Especially the part about drill instructors drunk on duty with “Fireball Whiskey”. Hmm....

I looked up the Ribbon Creek Incident. Why would anyone join the Marines without knowing how to swim?
