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.
With good reason.

Actually, I'm just the opposite. I do understand that a very few s**tbirds make it through training and serve in combat. But they are the exception. And when they're found, they're given their due. And that's good for the Corps.
Those of you who assume he's guilty just because he's a Marine,
I'm assuming he's guilty because of his lawyer. Gittin is the Mark Geragos of the military lawyer community--hiring him is about the same as confessing, it's just a lot more expensive.
Maj. Morgan, who chose to turn on a fellow Marine for his own gain, is another exception.
Maj. Morgan did no such thing. He answered questions from WorldNutDaily. He answered them honestly. (That, generally, is the first mistake Marines make in dealing with the press. "No comment" is a far better strategy for dealing with agenda-driven hacks posing as reporters, no matter what their alleged agaenda.) He has had his words twisted to support your political agenda. Your doing so is why I despise you.
