They aren’t known as Jarheads for nothing.

Cruz hits a Home Run. Bravo.

Will there be any discipline or sanction for the Uniformed Personnel who wrote the offending Tweets?

Doubt it. Promotions and compensatory Leave Time are more like it.

Bah, Humbug.

This morning, there was a new tweet reply from the MEF: “My existence while grotesque and incomprehensible, to you, saves lives. You don’t want the woke-truth because deep down in places you talk about parties; you want me on that wall, you need me on that - - oh, wait.. excuse me...crap... my water just broke...”

When a Twitter user responded to the remark saying, ‘Please focus on China and not Tucker Carlson,’ the Marine account replied mockingly: ‘Come back when you’ve served and been pregnant.’

I’ve seen the same attempt to shut down the criticism of those who haven’t served here at FR. It’s ugly and un-American.

I guess they don’t do Court Martials anymore. That’s become something seen in mostly in old movies.
What an incredible lack of discipline and from so many high ranking sources.
An “Apology” means nothing.

The USMC might want to remember that the only reason they exist today is the admiration the American people have for them. And specifically, CONSERVATIVE Americans.
There have been countless attempts to blend the USMC into the Army in the last 100 years.
We always survived because America truly saw them as “their own” and respected what the Corps consistently produced.
That’s not high school girls grinning as they perform a Hollywood fireman’s carry on the beach for 25 years. (no gear, no rifle, no helmet, no armor, and uniform nice and clean and dry. That’s not pregnant women flying combat planes of being 0311 Platoon Commanders.

Flip the finger to America Commandant, see how many friends you don’t have next time the Army and Space Force comes after your budget.

That’s a great letter. Kudos to Ted Cruz. This didn’t start with Tucker Carlson. And it won’t end with him either. The disturbing trends that we’ve seen in the U.S. military have been developing over the last three decades. There’s been a leftward drift among the officer class, and it’s sadly unsurprising that we’re seeing military leadership drifting into policy disputes and planting itself firmly in “woke” camp.

An apology is not good enough. If a uniformed member of the United States military threatens an American civilian for exercising his 1st Amendment rights, that member must be punished severely and dismissed from the military. Would hope Tucker Carlson and anyone else similarly attacked would file a lawsuit against that vile individual for violation of his civil rights.

If nobody is publicly fired or discharged, no lesson learned.

'We are human and we messed up. We intended to speak up for female Marines and it was an effort to support them,' the II Marine Expeditionary Force wrote in a tweet on Saturday.

Not sure what part of a Marine Expeditionary Force's duties involve "tweeting" anything. Tell these idiots to leave social media for the middle-school girls.

Just noting the considerable difference in rhetorical speech between today's modern military...

'We are human and we messed up. We intended to speak up for female Marines and it was an effort to support them... We will adjust fire and ensure the utmost professionalism in our tweets...'

...to those of, say, Gen George S. Patton in his speech to the U.S. Third Army on June 5, 1944:

All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle...Americans love a winner...Americans will not tolerate a loser...We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-b$!!*es, we're going to rip out their living ***da#ned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks...we're going to murder those lousy *** co*#suc!ers by the bushel fu&#ing basket...we are not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living s#!t out of him all the time. Our basic plan is to keep on advancing...over, under or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose...like sh!t through a tin horn!

Can’t un-ring a bell.

Can’t undo bad stuff that happens in warfare either.

The utmost professionalism and discipline is what’s “supposed” to be what any military strives for.
