Sheesh — am I off base in thinking that the last thing we need is a PC Marine Corp? Or did this guy really step over the line?
At least from what I ‘ve read here, this is really nothing that has not gone on since probably the Corps’s inception. I experienced much worse than what is described. I had a Drill Instructor stick his finger right on my eye for the infraction of eye f*****g the area, LOL! Even now, I can’t believe I didn’t move or blink, LOL.
If that'd been the case in the "old corps" forty years ago, my drill instructors would STILL be in jail!
Well J**** C*****... This is the MARINE CORPS these wimps are joining, not a country club! If they don’t want hardship, physical and mental challenges, and yes, pain, then GO THE H*** SOMEWHERE ELSE! When I, as a US citizen, “send in the Marines” I want to be sending in the meanest, most focused, and most capable bunch of bad-a**** this world has ever seen. I do not want to be sending in a bunch of PC panty-waists that are afraid to get some cuts, bruises, and break a sweat. Where is it going to end? “Gee Sarg, can I get another latte from the mess?” The wimps bringing the charges had better stay away from any real Marines, then again, maybe they need some remedial education...
The root of the problem at the Depot.
"..a PC Marine Corp?"
Looks like it already is.
