>>>He’s a former Marine, just like me. What are you?<<<
First of all, there are no “former” Marines. My Marine Nephew served two Tours in Afghanistan before coming back home and being killed in a Motorcycle Accident.
He is and will always be a Marine, just like you.
Secondly, are you saying the Poster can not have a different opinion than a person who served in the Armed Services?
Thank you for your Service.
We NEVER say 'Ex-Marine'.
And of course the poster can have a different opinion. It would just be nice for the poster to know with whom he has that difference. 8~)
