I’m sure your fellow Marines would just love to know that yours and their personal safety was not a concern to you, just getting the job done was.
As far as ego-driven jerkoff’s whining about someone getting hurt.....the only whining I see are from ego-driven, cop-hating jerk-off’s here that refuse to acknowledge the suspects culpability and criminal activity (YES DRUGS) in the video.
If drugs then what happened to the charges against the kid? You've been called to task on this bogus allegation of yours several times already.............
I would hardly expect someone like you to understand the concept, but it’s something called “Duty.” Duty to one’s fellows, duty to accomplish the mission. Whatever the PERSONAL cost, the job needs to be completed. Duty is a harsh taskmistress, a really nasty bitch. She demands nothing more or less than everything we are and everything we hope to be and she will accept nothing less. And we learn Duty with our “mother’s milk” in boot camp, whether it be Parris Island (my alma mater) or San Diego. Then we learn the concept of “Honor.” As in “Duty, Honor, Country.” We learn from hard won experience that when we go into combat, we are, right down at the root, right where the rubber meets the road, fighting for our buddies, doing WHATEVER it takes to ensure we don’t let THEM down, no matter the personal cost. Duty and Honor. The concept of “Country” is more vague and esoteric in combat; it only really hits home when we’re back in garrison. That “Country” is what spurred us to enlist in the first place. Protecting the American People, the bedrock source of our authority to exist as Marines in the first place. The oath we take specifically enjoins us to protect and defend the Constitution for the United States from all its enemies, foreign and domestic. It’s not one we take lightly, nor is it an oath we are EVER relieved of this side of the grave.
There’s a book you should read called “Operation Buffalo: Marine Corps Fight for the DMZ” It exemplifies what I am talking about. And it’s about what happened to a lot of my personal friends, people who can tell you a thing or three about Duty and Honor.
Since the American People are the source of our authority, in a later post I will point out to you just what that means. For now, just be sure that your job, not unlike mine, is NOT about YOU going home at the end of the day; it’s about protecting and serving the people whose taxes are taken to pay your salary. Yes, AFTER THAT you can look to your safety and that of your partner. But not until you fulfill the requirements imposed by Duty and Honor.
Oh, and also please provide the actual EVIDENCE of his possession of illicit substances. There seems to be a dearth of it in the actual police report, and you KNOW that if they had any evidence that he had on his person or was shown to be buying drugs that they would have trotted it out CENTER STAGE so as to “justify” the actions of that jackbooted moron.
It’s sure easy for you to cry about drugs, but the cops at the actual scene would have LOVED to have seen them. That they didn’t just goes to show off YOUR lies and wild ass guesses. There is no other justification for your bullbleep, nothing from the police report that substantiates your “allegations.” Too bad, huh?
