Can’t copy the lines from the article, but when the Recruiter (Walker) talks about Johnson being a brother of his, it is really true. Once you earn the title of Marine, you end up with a lot of brothers and sisters.

Semper Fidelis, Sgt Walker.

Marines are few, and proud, and will help one of our 140,000 brothers, and sisters, with the firm knowlege that they will help us if needed.

I wonder how the Commandant feels about Our Constitution being trampled on?

It really pains my heart to see this all going down.

Partially my own fault though, raising the kids diverted my attention and I now know that raising the kids should have made me more focused on what has to do with our daily life.

Mine are both conservative voters and morally straight, so all was not in vain.

I’m in this fight ‘till the end now though!

Exactly, the Commandant is looking a lot more closely at those domestic enemies....

Semper Fi bump.

Whether on the field of battle or at home...it's always the same selfless attitude.

Perhaps we could load some 216mm paper into a #10 envelope, charge it with a 44 cent stamp, and direct some H&I fire at 8th&I, via the USPS. Target both CMC, and SMMC. I’d bet one, out of many would get a reply.

I never thought of that approach. Good idea.

Now, have you any clues of what to say?

Perhaps inquire, as a Former Marine, (with no chain of command) on his feeling, gut instinct on the course of the country.

We, as civilians, can do as we wish. He, on the otherhand is hogtied if he desents; with the exception of retirement, he would be FUBAR, unless he stands firmly with the constitution.
