Didn't sound like he was getting bullied. Sounded like he had a political discussion with a couple idiots who when they ran out of retorts resorted to telling him to F#$k Off. No big deal hear. I think the kids confusion, and rightly so, is why somebody would volunteer for the Navy when they believe in the Democrats....Why join a fight force when you believe in surrender. If these liberals are afloat they are probably the same kind of sailors that don't even know what sea they are in or why they are there.

Those types are huge minority in the Navy as they are in any service. It is no different than a peer officer my brother had in the Army that thought snipers were murderers. That guy was a West Pointer. I had a liberal for a skipper. He wanted to blow up the bad guys just like the rest of us, but he also believed in cradle to grave handouts for the poor. He was trying to round up guys for VIP escorts once when Clinton decided to visit and got pretty upset when we all said no.

Well if they are junking his property and cursing at him in the face they can be put up on charges, particularly if they were on ship and on a float. If I were were their CO and I heard about it I would chew them both out. That sort of thing has no business in a combat unit. Year ago there were ways to deal with this sort of thing on a peer level. Now we are so PC that the only way to deal with it is at a formal level. No CO wants to go into combat with those sort of hostilities brewing in the ranks. The kid could be exagerating but if my reading is correct the kid should talk to his immeadiate NCO about it (assuming he is enlisted.) I never met one liberal in the USMC - not one. Even the Blacks and the American Indians were die hard conservatives - in fact the Blacks were more often more to the right and more informed policially as a group than most, at least in the Officer's Corp. Some were Democrats but that was when the Democrats had conservatives in their ranks.
