Apparently the Marine Corps wasn't dying to sign up a 34-year-old reporter from Washington, D.C.Since "reporters" tend to side with America's enemies, a reporter of any age sounds like a liability rather than an asset.

The DI grabbed my M16A2 service rifle, pushed the plastic hand guard against my forehead and bent me backwards until I was pinned against my bunk, also known as a rack. "Ca-heer, I've been waiting for you to show one ounce of intensity in your f---ing body, and you can't do it, can you, you motherf---ing communist p---y!"
I made a mental note of the insult. The epithet was the most creative I'd heard to date.
LOL!

Editor's note: After reading this first-person account of boot camp by reporter Bill Cahir, the Marine Corps has opened an investigation into possible violations of policy by drill instructors. Cahir is Washington correspondent for The Evening Sun.Very interesting, especially since the reporter himself said he didn't believe that he was verbally or physically abused.

What, the rifle butt against his head or the cursing? They didn't harm him. Far from it, they turned him into a Marine.
