...To those calling for a civil war, this Marine wants you to stop, and think...

It's been said that the military is always preparing for war. That is true. We prepare for combat every day. We ran 5 miles today to the rifle range and shot nearly 200 rounds a piece at targets and then ran back. However, we also pray for peace. I would love one day to be completely unnecessary. But alas, I am a realist, and I know that day will never come.

The headlines of the last week have reminded me more of glimpsing at the S2 Daily Briefing Sheets while in theater or the Al-Jazeera than the NY Times or the Washington Post. Think about that for a moment, let it sink in.

Before I get into the main premise of this article - I need to make two statements here.

First and foremost , when it comes to the back and forth of who did what to whom and why - I don't give a @!$%#. It doesn't change the action. In life we're judged by our actions, nothing more, nothing less. One of the greatest things of the military is when it comes to an enemy, the politics behind the situation - don't matter in accomplishing that mission. For the military , life is simple in that regard.

Secondly, Regardless of your political ideology, you've earned the right as US Citizens to say your piece - no matter how wrong it may be. That is your right, and I will give my life to protect it.

Those who take up arms against a tyrannical government will die. Just as have all those before who would not bow to a dictator.

Like the Scots at Bannockburn?

So in a nutshell, a leftist pretended to be a marine to start up some kind of smear?

Exactly correct, full court press, smear the right and the tea party people as extremests, including Sarah Palin. Watch as the GOP folds to the tactic.

No, it seems that he actually is a Marine. And a Sgt. He just seems to have lied about going to Iraq. He definitely is a leftist. An 0bama Zombie. Sad isn’t it? The old Marines I know wouldn’t whiz on this guy if he was on fire.

“I don’t believe the tipping point has been reached yet, but we are heading in that direction, and probably over a third of the way there.”

I agree. Nice summary assessment.

“No, it seems that he actually is a Marine. And a Sgt. He just seems to have lied about going to Iraq.”

I wonder if the Commandant of the Marine Corps approves Sgt. Pogue’s little fantasy of “fragging” various American states.

Good ... Old books are great. Long before the PC crowd indoctrinated the young’ns against their own country...

Be aware of the History channel, Too much PC crapo has crept in. Not as reliable as years past....Good luck.

Right... There are no safe “harbours” anymore because the GOP is too interested in being seen on TV as bipartisan. and allows leftists implants in government positions.

With your comment "The Social War is coming. As of now it is simply not time. Things are not bad enough yet." you gave truth the the following...

"...all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

Obviously... The evils are no longer sufferable by millions of folks... and we WILL make true this passage... "...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

We are at the stage where the malaise is turning into speech, we are talking among ourselves. We are trying to figure what to do. At this phase the non-westerner does not understand that we are not talking to or arguing with him, but to and with our own. The crazies of our civilization(Berserkers) are starting to come out.

Lol...

Interesting way of putting it.

"In addition to their warlike activities within their communities, berserkers are characterized by their sexual excesses, carrying off wives, daughters and betrothed maids..."

I’m a bit late to the discussion - but I did locate another quote by this marine that appears to confirm he is indeed an Obama supporter.

Many of his other comments show he is an avid basher of Tea Partiers, and definitely a lefty.

Didn’t see this posted in the thread so I add it now.

Lewis, that was some serious cherry-picking of facts there.

There is no law forbidding us from donating to political campaigns or even attending political rallies, no matter what the content; provided we don’t display any representation of the military such as wearing our uniforms, or imply that the military is endorsing a particular candidate. We’re not allowed to use our military credential to substantiate our political beliefs or to imply that the military is endorsing a certain political stance.

In other words, I as Mr. Calbat can say I support President Obama.

Sgt Calbat however supports the US Government.
