I never knew the Air Force had something called a Master Chief, but hey, what do I know? I was merely in Army aviation. The grunts like me are always the last to learn.
Final poll results
Date: 08-02-2007 - 08-03-2007
Yes 37 Votes(14%)
No, too strong 219 Votes(84%)
No, too lenient 6 Votes(2%)
Wonder how that poll would look if they added in the 15 year sentence? Probably similar.
Thanks, Girlene. Rather one sided poll, isn’t it?
We have a good number of Marines at our air base here. They have been bred to believe in nobody but their fellow Marine combat soldiers. They don’t even associate much with us airmen.
I can’t take offense, though. That’s why they’re special, and God Bless them for it. So this case isn’t really a big shock to them: they’re always felt that they can’t trust anybody except a fellow combat Marine. Note, I said combat. In the opinion of a couple fine Marines I’ve spoken to here on base since last night, they don’t look at JAG’s as fellow soldiers, they look at them as lawyers.
I tried to point out that there ARE good JAG’s, and was met by the “Marine Death Gaze”.
Regardless, Marines are God’s gift to the United States. They fight any number of opponents and still win, even if the opponents are home grown (like the media/JAG’s).
“Marine Death Gaze”. LOL in a good way. I am familiar with the gaze.
You have a good prospective on the Marines and very kind words as well.
Great luck to you and be safe.
