If nothing else the Corps taught discipline and self control under stress, which are invaluable in combat.
As the saying goes - The Marine Corps Builds Men - or, at least it will IF Hitlery and the Looney Left don't get their scummy hands on it.

Marine Corps completes three command-level investigations into allegations of abuse and maltreatment at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island / News release
WASHINGTON — The Marine Corps has completed three command-level investigations into allegations of abuse and maltreatment at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, to include an investigation into circumstances surrounding the March 18, 2016, death of Recruit Raheel Siddiqui.
Findings from the Siddiqui investigation conclude that Siddiqui’s death was the result of suicide. Additionally, the investigations revealed departures from the policies and procedures established for Marine Corps recruit training, specifically within three platoons within Third Recruit Training Battalion. Commanders and senior enlisted advisors at the series, company, battalion and regimental level were relieved in the wake of Recruit Siddiqui’s death and a number of drill instructors have been suspended. Currently, twenty Recruit Training Regiment personnel have been identified for possible military justice or administrative action.
The findings of the investigations include allegations of: – Recurrent physical and verbal abuse of recruits by drill instructors, with a noted insufficiency of oversight and supervision at various command levels; – Improper assignment of a drill instructor for duty while under investigation for previous allegations of assault and hazing; – Maltreatment of new drill instructors by more experienced drill instructors; – Gaps in awareness by commanders regarding their roles within the command investigation process; and, – Anomalies and inconsistencies in the policies and procedures responding to suicidal ideations or statements.
Training and Education Command officials have initiated immediate actions at our recruit training depots to prevent the recurrence of issues identified in the investigations, to include: – Mandatory suspension of personnel who are being investigated for recruit abuse, hazing, or maltreatment; – Additional visibility and reviews of investigations above the regimental level; – Modification of the assignment process for drill instructors and officers; – The cessation of any practice that is based on differentiating between drill instructors of differing experience levels (with the exception of the Senior Drill Instructor billet); – Establish and enforce a zero-tolerance policy for “hat-hazing” (or hazing among drill instructors); – Increased officer presence and supervision of training; and, – Review and revise mental health processes, procedures, and suicide prevention protocols.

“I fully support and endorse these initial actions,” said Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller. “When America’s men and women commit to becoming Marines, we make a promise to them. We pledge to train them with firmness, fairness, dignity and compassion. Simply stated, the manner in which we make Marines is as important as the finished product. Recruit training is, and will remain, physically and mentally challenging so that we can produce disciplined, ethical, basically-trained Marines,” said Neller.
Neller added, “We mourn the loss of Recruit Siddiqui, and we will take every step necessary to prevent tragic events like this from happening again.”
Where are Muzzi terrorists supposed to get military training if the US taxpayers don't provide it.
Thank you to you and your like, oh8eleven.
Watching this disgusting slide towards who knows what end, I have always held out hope for the USMC to be the one arm of the military to resist this BS when all the other services have knuckled under, but I have to accept that this cancer we see will eventually infect the Marines in the same way a cancer starting in a person’s kidney will eventually infect their brain or liver, especially when untreated.
Never mind the deliberate effort we see to cause the spread of the cancer.
first day???? Obviously he was a whack job when he arrived, not any fault of the Marines!!
They are religiouly obligated to kill us.
America's FIRST Muslim President is commander in chief. Do you have a problem with a Muslim President that was Constitutionally elected?
Hussein Obama has said he is going to fundamentally change America (to a fundamentally Muslim country)?
No, the Constituion specifically excludes him from being President.
He is not a natural born citizen.
Both parties want to do away with that requirement.
Many of the recent candidates have been ineligible.
Article II Section 1 says “no person except a natural born citizen” and yet all of the people who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution refused to do so when a self-professed British subject was sworn in.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible
Thx ... and back at ‘ya.
Did you order a Code Red?
You’re damn right I did!!
I have been around a lot of Marines, this is a first.
Today, abuse is looking at someone cross eyed or saying something they don’t like, or getting up in their face. Look at the “need” for safe spaces at colleges and schools now. We are/have produced a generation of pussies (yes pussies) so we must tone down tried and true training techniques because they may offend someone. The net result of that is a less effective force, but a more sensitive force. I want an effective force protecting the country, not a sensitive one. And don’t believe for a minute that these were indepentent “investigations without significant PC command influence.
OOH RAH and thank you. Did you get one of the Marine corps dogs here at Free republic. Contact JustAmy.
My son also was treated fairly too. HAHA!
My first thought was “Was he wearing bombs around his waist?”.
These muslims do not belong in any branch of the service where they swear oaths to defend America and the Constitution. They hold the koran and sharia in higher authority, and these two ideologies are directly against American freedoms.
They will never be trustworthy in any position of lawful authority on American soil.
Get them out, one way or another. I really don’t care if this deranged man jumped or was pushed.
Surprisingly difficult to find PTSD statistics separated by service. I’d like to know if the Marines do better than the other ground combat elements vs PTSD due to their more rigorous training. Same for all elite special forces branches- Seals, Delta Force, Green Berets, Rangers, etc. My take is that training makes the difference.
The truth? The TRUTH??? You can’t HANDLE the truth!
Every one in Basic, or Boot camp, get yelled at and put under a lot of pressure. The idea is to teach you how to act under pressure and to weed out those who can’t. As the XO for a Basic training company. Part of my job was to do the paper work on those who don’t make it. While we did not have any one kill themselves, it was not unheard of. Some people can not take it. Better to get them out in Basic than in combat where they can get others killed to.
Oh noes.....drill instructors shouting at recruits and treating them with no respect......how could that be?.... /s
Time to bring the Marines into the 21st Century! you know, like lace collars and hankies.
That sounds like boot camp.....fancy words to say they weren’t coddled
No kidding
You wanna be a marine? You gotta be tough. The marines don’t give lessons in dinnerware arrangement. They teach you to survive in hell.
