One more time, for the record: you are utterly ignorant of the Marine Corps, what it is, what it does, and how it does what it does. The public affairs officer said nothing of what you desperately wish him to have said.
Actually, I'm knowledgable enough about the Marines to know that you are not representative of them. I have occasionally come across others like you, who portray themselves as Vets from one branch or another. The favorite branch being the Marines. They hate American civilians, and paint their supposed brothers in arms as lacking the strength of character needed to resist the criminal acts we put them in the position to commit. I know better. You are an exception, if you ever really were in the Marines. Maj. Morgan, who chose to turn on a fellow Marine for his own gain, is another exception. Lt. Pantano may or not be an exception. Those of you who assume he's guilty just because he's a Marine, are the exceptions. Those of you who hate American civilians who support the troops even more than you hate civilians who don't, are the exceptions. I don't have to be a Marine to know that. When you attack the integrity of our armed forces, you're not attacking me directly, but you are attacking my family. When you portray yourself as having some unspoken authority to speak ill of Marines on their behalf, I'd just like to know how that makes you any different from John Kerry.
