What Marine unit ran 5 miles to the range and ran 5 miles back?

NAME IT, please. Unless it’s Force Recon, I ain’t buying it. My BS flag is WAY up.

"My BS flag is WAY up."

It should be. If this turd took an oath to uphold The Constitution he would not utter these threats. I think he is a lying POS.

[Repeat Offender]

Or snipers..... my thoughts were similar to yours. See my other post about the merits of his argument.

Ya I call BS too. This "Marine" writes an open letter threatening anyone involved in a civil war because of his deep profound dedication to the US Constitution. In his terms he would "frag" people in any state because of his oath to the Constitution.
I am skeptical of this guy because if he was so passionate about defending the Constitution, he would be upset at all the usurpers in D.C. He doesnt seem to give a damn about congress violating the 10th Amendment every time it gives more regulatory powers to the Federal Government. He doesnt case about obongo and his army of czars stepping on individual liberty, subverting the Constitution every day. And thats fine... I dont expect everyone to be passionate about liberty... but he cant give me a line saying he is such a Constitutional defender he would kill civilians when he doesnt care this administration usurps the Constitution everyday.
He should just say he is a liberal and hopes the military kills anyone that would stand up against this administration.

Concur! BS flag is all the way up!

This guy sounds like he’s been brainwashed pretty well or he’s FOS. (probably voted for Barry)

What if he were orderd to *frag* his hometown or the neighborhood of a distant relative, his wife’s parents home?

Would he just do it? (and I know the PTBs have planned on sending in either foreign troops or sending our troops to unfamilier areas but, that doesn’t always work out)

[Lurker]

This guy has just declared that he'd fight on the side of an un-Constitutional government and fire on American civilians.

He may still be wearing the uniform but he's no longer a Marine in my eyes.

F*** him.

Good catch. I was not a Marine but was infantry-related. Small arms Marines, being infantry, would do five-mile runs in initial training, I would think. But those would be done separately from ranges. Marines would most likely march at least one way to ranges (sometimes both) in full gear (or at least with load bearing equipment, rifles, etc.).

Most actual file-mile runs in the Army are done in running shoes, shorts, etc. There are a few occasional road runs for Army combat soldiers up to 12 miles (air assault and the like) and road marches (nearly like runs but running not mandatory) up to 18-25 miles. I once did 18 miles in full gear in less than 5 hours. ...one 12-mile run for a school in gear in about 2 hours or less, but running was not mandatory on that one.

Ran 5 miles and back again just to shoot 200 rounds? Sounds like a civilian who thinks 200 rounds is a lot of rounds.

Not this Marine, not even in boot camp long ago.
