Sarge that gets on my nerves too.

People being out in uniform ect.

Military people are just that though. People.

They have faults. They aren't perfect. There are a lot of shite heads in the military. Most are weeded out eventually though.

Every service member has their own faults. For example, I hate it when I go downtown on leave or somewhere and there are assholes walking around off duty in uniform at bars and such. I had to ask one day why this E-5 was in uniform at Clicks. He responded, for the free drinks. I gave him ten seconds to leave the bar or I was gonna beat his arse. There are people who abuse the system. Think due to being in the service they are privledged or exempt above others. In this case, marines were drinking, the power trip probably came out, and the arse was beat. Seen it a billion times. I have no issue with it being a marine that got beat down. Judging off his FB page and other shite, he was a spotlight ranger. No big deal.
Most level-headed post of this thread. Saw it ALL the time when I was active duty.

Let me dumb it down for you.

My uncle worked for HealthSouth. Their CEO and CFO were convicted of fraud and embezzlement. My uncle had no knowledge of what was going on but the company he worked for was seen as a bunch of thieves and crooks.

Is my uncle a thief and a crook? No. But HealthSouth is still seen as a shady organization even though those two are in jail.

Exactly.

I saw one infantry guy get in a fight in Nashville, got whooped too. He started the fight, then starting ranting, "Im a Soldier," and I kindly replied.....you should have not started shite and used the technique......DUCK.

100% agree.

It's clear these people on JJ's page heard one sentence:

"JJ kicked a marine in the head"

And went ballistic.

somebody mentioned a reserve base near the airport. which again if we are talking about a reservist you are talking about someone who is only a "Marine" one weekend in a month..he is like a glorified ROTC kid. Probably had what he got coming to him for not knowing when to just shut up and not having someone to cover for him. I dont feel bad for the guy at all.

Last I heard that is just a consideration and not a done deal!? I went on vacation and didn't follow that for a couple of weeks. Is that now happening?

Well, that's who the poster you responded to was talking about. Then you respond w/ this rant about your Marine brother.

Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension skills.

Seriously, I have a friend that posts here named Eric and I'm beginning to think he sucks too.

I never stereotyped the marines. I also happen to know several marines who are great people. One of which is one of my good HS friends. I would trust that guy with my life.\

All I was saying is that I know several people that went into the marines and are/were shitty people. Again, TIFWIW.

Yep. As someone else said above, people who join the military are just that -- people. They come in all kinds: good, bad and assholes.
