A Marine is a Marine 24/7/365/forever.

That's the facts and if his superiors say he's out he's out.

I don't have any respect or tolerance for anyone in uniform who brings dishonor to the fine men and women we have serving this nation.

Our military has become political.

It is the epitome of being gullible, to think that an enlisted person is going to be fairly and judiciously assessed.

An example of the political double standard.

All of the homosexual military members who violated “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Do you really believe they were all tossed as this guys was?

I know they weren’t, because some of the scumbags were on the news in uniform. A much clearer violation of the said Article, this man is accused of violating.

The dishonorable thing is to lie.

So far nobody has ever told me any way that the officer’s oath makes one iota of difference. It’s just a lie, and everybody in the military knows it.

I don’t like that. I don’t like my nephews having to LIE in order to be in what is supposedly an honorable position.

If they’re going to tell our guys to STFU when an enemy is threatening the Constitution, then they shouldn’t make them take the stinkin’ oath. Because that’s what it is, if it can never actually be carried out. It’s just a way to make it seem like it’s an honorable position, when all it can ever be is “yes-man”.

The people in the military who should have checked Obama out and found that his records are not in order and he is not qualified to be CINC (and brought that fact to Congress so they could impeach and/or the courts so they could declare Joe Biden the acting CINC) AS FULFILLMENT OF THEIR OATHS.... are the people that Lt Col Terry Lakin appealed to for answers in the proper manner, but they are too afraid of losing their lifetime rank if they make waves. They were yes-men who betrayed everybody below them in the chain of command who counted on them to have a way to keep their oaths.

THEY are the people who have brought dishonor on the US military and on themselves.

If anybody was as concerned about the honor of the men who have positions of high responsibility as they are about the honor of the peons, maybe this country would be in a heckuva better situation right now.

Maybe this guy should have kept his mouth shut. It’s not like it’s a free country or anything, or like the guidelines that were put out regarding political speech for military personnel actually mean anything, or the oaths that have been taken mean anything.

I guess I’m a little more ready to forgive somebody who mistakenly believes that this is America than I am for the people ensuring that it’s not.

This issue is too close to home for me. I’m going to leave the discussion before I say something I regret. Good-bye.
