That may be, but I remember the incident well because one of our Corporals who took it with us, chewed us out for saying that some of us would shoot because we trusted our own government

He also stuck up forr the 2nd ammendment while some of us said we would confiscate weapons because we were told to, after all, our government couldn't be wrong, could they?

Thank Goodness for that Corporal, because he cheweed us out like he did, we all grabbed our surveys and changed the answers to what they should have been.

I wondered what that survey was about, to hear of it 20 years later, and knowing what I know now, ...

I wonder if it is someone's idea of a joke.

I just find it amazing that our government would actually ask those questions so openly if they really wanted to know such things...but it seems by being open, we gave straight answers.

I remember the questions about gun confiscation, doing civil work in place of sitting around the barracks all day, hurricane relief, and I also remember being asked if we would shoot at Americans if ordered to do so.

I remember adding in the survey a comment on how Marines should be used for forest fires, hurricane relief, disaster relief, but I didnt agree with UN type work, I said they should draft their own people first, not us.
