Scott Olsen: I hate the Marine Corps
Yesterday, we discussed IVAW and Veterans For Peace member, Scott Olsen, who had his head busted by some police “projectile” in Oakland the other night. Our buddy, Gateway Pundit sent us a link to his post today about how Olsen was the founder of the “I Hate The Marine Corps” blog.
Gateway Pundit quotes from Verum Serum who discovered the original story;
The Marine Corps thrives on its image. They convince young men and women that they’re joining a professional military organization. But that’s not the case at all, every Marine knows it, and most have no problem downplaying the bullshit to outsiders so they can protect their “beloved corps”. I noticed some of the other posters have told you not to pay any attention to my site because we’re just a bunch of ********* who couldn’t hack it, right? Maybe not hacking it means we saw through the bullshit and don’t want to take it. Maybe the brainwashing didn’t work on us. I’m not here to tell you if you should join or not. I’m here to advise you to take the people who visit my website just as seriously as anybody who tries to sell you the MC as a good thing.
My site is anonymous, these people don’t have to worry about hiding from the MC, or protecting the MC’s image or anything. It is unfiltered truth.
No, he still didn’t deserve a fractured skull, but I think it’s a little bit odd that he hates the Marine Corps…until it gives him and his fellow hippies a measure of moral authority.
Update Sporkmaster: For someone who did not like the Marines, they are actively trying to portray the opposite. Here is a screen capture of of his comment that he was being separated for drug use.

Everyone has a different experience in the military for some everything goes well for some it can be a nightmare and most fall in between but for you to go after this kid for saying he hates the Marines is disingenuous at best I am sure you said multiple times during your time in the Army “I hate the fucking Army” Of course you will say no because you’re a hack but you know the truth.

My goodness, did some one steal all your periods/full stops, OB? Here – you can have some of mine – no charge. ……………………………………………………………

I understand that point, I really do. But I do not understand if you dislike something so much, to include how the Marines project their image that he would do the same. Would it have the same impact if he was not a Marine?
Also in the Verum Serum link there are things that would suggest that he was separated for drug use.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
He served 2 tours in Iraq no? Maybe he had problems adjusting when he got back and did drugs, just because somebody does something bad in their life doesn’t mean all they have ever done is bad. This guy served his country and because he was at a protest that you all disagree with his service will be insulted, marginalized and dismissed. However when somebody you agree with politically like Cheney or Nugent obviously bitched out of service they are given a complete pass and idolized.smh!!
Sporkmaster: That does not give a excuse for breaking the law. Regardless of if he served in Iraq or not drug use will still get you kicked out. Also if things got violent it might be a good idea to leave. Because if this this happened in a post sports champion game victory/defeat would you look at him the same way. See NHL Vancouver after the Bruins won.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
@1- I’ll write this so you can understand it:
it does so make sense to go after this kid because he claimed to be a marine to give credence to his opinions but had established a blog saying how much he hated the marines a while back so its not disingenuous to go after him for stating an opinion opposite of the one he created a goddamned website over because creating a website takes much more effort than just running your mouth so we can assume he felt a little bit more strongly about the opinion that caused him to create a blog

Does every site have a Sea Lawyer like Obama Girl? It sure seems that way.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
“However when somebody you agree with politically like Cheney or Nugent obviously bitched out of service they are given a complete pass and idolized.”
Because Conservatism is about their ideas, not their biographies. We agree with their ideas.
But while you’re on that point, what about that chicken-hawk Obama? Uganda. Kenya. Libya. Ethiopia. Any comment about Obama needind to send his kids to fight their daddy’s wars?
October 28th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
If he is stating on a blog that he is a former Marine and badmouthing the Corps in that blog, then he opens himself up to ridicule. He has made himself a defacto public figure. Public figures are subject to ridicule every day for the acts they do and the things they say. Mr. Olsen, by his own actions, brought the ridicule upon his person. No one else did.
The internet is a wonderful thing. Things you “put out there” on a blog are available for all to see. If he didn’t want the whole world to see what he was saying (and then comment on it) then maybe he should have put his thoughts down in a Hello Kitty diary and kept it under his pillow to keep it away from prying eyes. Just my two cents worth.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:42 pm
I’m sure OG voted first for H.W. Bush, and then Dole, over that dispicable draft-dodger and notorious draft card burner, Bill Clinton. Also, she probably didn’t vote for Obama over John McCain, because when someone who agrees with you bitched out of service, then they desrve to be shunned.
Am I putting too much thought into this?
October 28th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
There has always been nonhackers with low self esteem who never had to follow rules growing up and just skated by. They join the Corps (or some other branch) somehow make it through Bootcamp then when they get to the Fleet they hit the OH SHIT bulkhead. Some get over it and get with the program. Others remain sniveling crybabies who can only moan, groan and look for ways to slack off and never get a clue. Like to know what this clowns MOS was.
By the way OG couldn’t you have done better than to lift someone else’s moniker?

>some it can be a nightmare
I honestly think that says more about you than the military. The military has and will always be what you make of it. If you want it to be a nightmare- It will. If you want it to be an adventure- it will.
I mean I am not saying it isn’t hard, and I am only speaking as a spouse- so feel free to fry me- but I have been a spouse who married three weeks into basic and has stuck around 20 years. My husband has been E-1 pay grade to W-3. I have had all my stuff get lost, because the damn movers forgot to write out name on the crates. I have had my husband “lost” while in Japan..and the unit call me and beg me for information. You just have to roll with it… and if you can’t you leave.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Read the damm comments…these people apparently didn’t understand what they were signing up for. My recruiter pulled out all the videos and I told them I didn’t care,I expect it to suck and if I could be Infantry that would be great. If they enlisted in the last 10 years they had to know exactly where they were going. How hard is it to stay out of trouble and be on time. USMC – you signed the mother efin’ contract.

@14- Great job, melle.
It would always piss me off to see the population of women with ring finger tanlines explode in Norfolk and VA Beach bars every time a carrier and it’s battle group pulled out of port. Family members like yourself take a hit every deployment, and you deserve to be commended for toughing it out instead of taking the easy road.

It is really simple to everyone with the ability to think rationally, which leaves out the leftist, libtards, and other brainless pondscum out there.
If you use your affiliation with the Marines to stand out from the crowd for your own benefit or to forward your personal agenda, you are free game, and you had better be 100 percent locked on. If you are a maladroit, and this shitbird is, then you are going to get railed on. He has every right to his opinion, bur opinions are like assholes, in that everyone has one, and many of them stink. He didn’t go there to save anyone or protect anyone, he went there for free pussy, and to get his 15 minutes. He got an unexpected freebie, a busted brain housing group. The cops fucked up, but he fucked up bigger by going to hang with those socialist anarchists, and he paid for it. Maybe it will induce him to think before doing stupid shit next time. Probably not.

@USMC Steve, I’m a self professed liberal (libtard??) and I think rationally as my previous post (#9) displays. Don’t count everyone who is not a conservative as inept and unable to form their own rational thoughts. I’m educated and oddly in favor of most of the thoughts and ideas on this page.
October 28th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
ObamGirl,
Can you please give me an example of anyone idolizing Dick Cheney or Ted Nugent? I think that this is one of those things that exists in your head. I mean that.
October 28th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
@12 and @17: Perfect. Just perfect. I guess Gregorivich sent an apology by email because I don’t see an apology posted here.
October 28th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Re: OG. She’s a spent round. You can police the brass if you like.
October 28th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Was anyone really surprised by this? Its all well and good to wear MARCAM to a protest but don’t ever actually be proud of your service!
I might agree sometimes that Marines think too much of their image and not enough on sound tactical doctrine (you’d be amazed at how many times “hey diddle diddle, up the middle” seems like a good idea to the Marines) but I do admit Marines earn their image by taking on tough assignments.
Throw a company of Army troopers to the wolves so to speak and do the same to a Marine company, and come back in 6 months and I’ll bet that they’ll look the same, same haggard expression, same “i Gives a fuck” attitude, and probably similar casualty figures. Really the reason the Army has more casualties is that there’s more of us.
October 28th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
I got in a shit storm argument with 2 of my good friends and am not talking to them over the same stuff going on in the comments section. They couldn’t fathom how is disrespectful appearance, illegal use of the uniform and his contempt for the military pretty much voided any weight he had in an argument and made him an object of contempt for choosing to act in such a way.
October 28th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
I have three predictions:
1. We will soon find out that Olsen’s discharge and characterization of service was less than honorable. Most likely, it involved drug use.
2. When this information comes to light, his supporters will blame his problems on PTSD from his two tours in a combat zone.
3. Soon thereafter, we will learn that he spent his two tours in Iraq as an orderly room clerk, fetching coffee for XO.
Just wait…
October 28th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
@ Doc… Dude!
….you can’t be serious! You’re letting your Army brainwashing take over! Marines have some of the best tactical doctrine out there… and its been well proven that the Marines (who usually get the shittiest [toughest] objectives) get the job done when the Army has failed!
As Marines like to say… we make it safe for the Army to stay.

October 28th, 2011 at 2:50 pm
AirCav @23, yeah Gregorivich will post his apology just as soon as he can steal someone’s laptop and internet connection at the local Flea Bagger rally he’s at.
And greggy, if you don’t believe Jonn, here’s the link, just to make it easy for you. http://www.whois.net/whois/ihatethemarinecorps.com
October 28th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
“As Marines like to say… we make it safe for the Army to stay.”
Dammit, Doc. Now you started something. Now, before anyone gets his or her nose knocked out of joint, let’s just acknowledge that the Marines do have the best….TV commercials.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
@#30 Air Cav…. now THAT’s funny.. and def true!
Remember the Army commercial “Shhh, i can talk right now… i’m in the Army Reserve” as a soldier is creeping/patrolling thru a swamp? Comedy gold!
October 28th, 2011 at 3:18 pm
Oh boy…
Marines used to guard gates for the Navy. Not one gate was stolen.
The Army guarding their OWN gates during that time frame… not so much.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:18 pm
I liked the Army one that saw some pvt in the field smile broadly and say, “Good morning first sergeant.” Made me want to deny my branch of service.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:21 pm
@30 – and uniforms. I just love a man in those marine dress uniforms.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
The Marines had the best TV show too Gomer Pyle, USMC. The Army had Sgt. Bilko in the 1950s. The Air Force had “I dream of Jeannie” and the Navy had “McHale’s Nay.” What am I missing? Gee, why didn’t Hollywood make a show about the Coast Guard? Oh yeah. I forgot. They did. BayWatch.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
This guy is in the process of being adopted by the press/left, who finally have a member of the military of whom they can be proud: one who shares their infamous hatred and contempt for military service.
He is being characterized as the face of a patriotic ows movement against brutal cops doing the bidding of wall street fox news and the koch brothers.
While untrue to anyone taking 5 seconds to find out, this impression will take hold among the general population only barely paying attention, absent a vigorous and compelling counternarrative by sources like TAH, i.e. that Olsen is not honorable he is in fact acting with extreme dishonor.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Yes, those uniforms are really, really cute! (I hope that doesn’t draw Insipid in here.)
October 28th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Now, now AirCav. Let’s have FULL disclosure here, okay? They absolutely have … the best looking dress uniform!
October 28th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
I think I’ve figured OG out, it’s a bunch of occutards posting on one computer, hence the absence of a pause or any semblance of coherent thought in #1, as opposed to the pause, punctuation but lack of coherent thought in #4. There is a thread there, and the occuturds display it constantly. No. Thinking. At. All.

October 28th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
His own words demonstrate that he hated the uniform and hated serving, but he is being LIONIZED for showing up in a uniform he hates to lend credibility to OWS. That is the definition of duplicity. Anything else is intellectually dishonest.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
@34– Yep Marines have the best dress uniform…Of Course if my husband asks, I will deny I said this… and build up the Army’s ucky faded pants look(yes I know history and all that)… I am just so happy warrants aren’t wearing the bus driver hats anymore..
October 28th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
@38. Okay. Let’s end this right now. Is there anyone here who does NOT believe (in their heart of hearts) the Marines have the best looking uniform? I mean really. No simple partisanship.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Olsen did two tours in Iraq as a “data network specialist.”
I guess he was pulling Bradley Manning’s cable?
October 28th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
That’s DRESS uniform.
October 28th, 2011 at 4:19 pm
Marines have the best uniforms around no doubt about it. Don’t forget about the commercials or chauffeurs…
October 28th, 2011 at 4:55 pm
looking at the photos..I would venture to guess he was discharged for cruelty to animals (poor gerbil) and possession.
What the hell could one possibly do with all that booze, pot and a gerbil?
WAIT!!! DON’T answer that!
October 28th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Having worn both and still cart around my old Blues from PCS to PCS…we all know what the ladies like. Its not close. I have a Stetson and spurns and its not even close. The old Marine commercials were the best. They had dragons and swords..we had jumping tanks that I’m sure they still have’nt found all the pieces to.
October 28th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
I left this message on the Reddit site:
“I’m a retired Army Sergeant First Class and did two tours in Iraq. The bleeding hearts had better do some research on this punk before they defend him as some kind of martyr. First of all, he chose to hang around with the violence-prone “Occupy” movement whose ranks are chock full of communists, nazis, anarchists, and felons.
No wonder the Dems and Obama embrace them.
Their goal is to overthrow our Democratic Republic. They riot. Not very “peaceful”. They were rioting at the time he was injured. Too bad.
He also has a site: I hate the marine corps, where he professed his true feelings for the marines.
IT’S AN ALL VOLUNTEER FORCE. Don’t like it? Un-ass what ever branch you’re in and shut the fuck up. Speaking of “un-ass” Olsen got a less than honorable discharge. He was a problem child. How convienient of the cream puff to hop on the ‘Occupy’ bandwagon. I’m sick of Leftards and disgruntled IVAW pukes teaming up to piss, moan, and complain over the consequences of their stupidity and bad behavior.
Hey fucktards, you own this disaster.”

I’m not sure I’d count “I Dream of Jeannie” as Air Force… it was NASA. I’m not sure, but wasn’t Major Healey in the Army?
The USAF did, of course, have “Stargate SG-1″ (which also had some Marines assigned), and a I guess a case could be made for “Hogan’s Heroes”.
Besides “McHale’s Navy”, the Navy had shows such as “CPO Sharkey” and “Operation Petticoat”.

Scott was in Iraq in 2009, and he’s from Wisconsin. Check yourself, you’re in the big leagues.
October 28th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Maybe Scott should have scored higher on the ASVAB and he could have entered the Air Force. Quit bitching you little ingrate and grow up.
October 28th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Joseph, check the link. http://pledgie.com/accounts/solsen230 Sure seems to be the same Scott Olsen. Nice try, though. Then, compare the pic in the pledgie link to Olsen’s FB page, here. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scott-Olsen/191248674286220
So, from what I can see, it is his website.

“From what I’ve seen…” That’s where everyone should have stopped reading Joey’s comment @60.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:02 pm
I believe it was Shakespeare who once said that genius and madness are nearly the same thing, and if any organization ever proved it, it is our own Marine Corps. Yes, they do play a game emotionally (what he really means by the image thing, he’s just trying to say it in the most self-advantageous manner possible, sort of like Job against God) and yes, it is tough to get through and yes they do sometimes “put you through some bullcrap.” And BTW, I wouldn’t criticize someone for deciding to step aside precisely because of that. But all of that “bullcrap” is the reason they’re the most successful of all of Americas military organization and one of the finest assemblies of man ever created.
You’re not a Marine if you step aside because of that, but then again, how many are? Marines are not soldiers – they’re something far more unique, and powerful. Not everyone is capable of being one. Desiring to serve your country is good enough to be a soldier. For a Marine it is necessary but not sufficient.
The only thing Scott Olsen is guilty of here is letting his ego and desire to be right get in the way of the truth, and the only thing the Marine Corps is guilty of is doing what is necessary to be that damn good. Frankly people, stop pointing fingers and walk away. Realize that this is just a very hurt and stubborn man. Pray for him and his troubled soul, but don’t try to talk him yourself – it won’t go anywhere. Lastly, I’m not surprised the Occupy Wall Street attracts people this damaged.
Semper Fidelis – Always Faithful.

October 28th, 2011 at 10:25 pm
Um…..Its two different Scott Olsens….The Scott Olsen who was shot is from Onalaska, Wisconsin. The one who runs the site you are reffering to is from Illinois. Great investigative reporting scum bag…

It’s the same cokeheaded anti-semitic douchebag.
Some of the leftists are desperately trying to cover this information up, but they can’t scrub fast enough to hide the truth.
October 28th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
Listen, I can’t even re call your name, but do you have a job, how can you write so much bull shit, about (some of the shit I read) about the Marine Corps? Yeah I was in, but it was a long time ago, I never even talk about it. Dude you gota get a fucking job, I was a cop for 25 years, and I don’t talk about that shit eather, you want to write about a fucked up org. write about the PEACE CORPS, NOW THERE IS A FUCKED UP JOB, I was in Bangladesh, and there were 5 young girls ganged raped, by 13 14 year old Muslim boys, now thats fucked….. get a life who ever you are
October 28th, 2011 at 11:32 pm

In 2010, the Marines issued Olsen an “administrative discharge.” Maj. Shawn Haney, a Marines spokesman based in Quantico, Va., declined to discuss Olsen’s discharge, but said his departure could have been for anything from a medical condition to a punitive measure.

Um, if you guys are surprised that Marines often say they “hate” the Marine Corps, or *gasp* even worse things, make sure you keep your sheltered little eyes away from the Terminal Lance message boards.
A lot of us severely dislike the Marine Corps’ bureaucracy, even if we have very close friends, cherished experiences, and pride in our own accomplishments. The culture and the institution aren’t necessarily the same thing.
October 29th, 2011 at 4:05 am
Melle Please tell your husband he is freaking lucky. I wish some of the wives I’ve dealt with fought as hard as you. God blees you.
OG STFU. Seriously the updates are to allow furthering and redefinition of information. you don’t bitch when NYT fucks up (which it does regularly). WaPo corrects itself all the time, and in sometimes in HUGE maters. I have seen John throw out Mae culpas when he knows he’s wrong. Thus far I have never even heard of you King or richter, even coming close to admitting your wrong.

>Melle Please tell your husband he is freaking lucky. I wish some of the wives I’ve dealt with fought as hard as you. God blees you.
Doc, Thank you….I spend my days with Dora The Explorer and a four year old. My husband is spending his last year of the military finishing a degree and working. He does not have the time or the patience for my political rantings. So you and all of TAH get my pearls of wisdom
And I get to debate, brush up on my YOUR Mama jokes and get some wicked photoshop ideas!

There are screw-ups and losers in all branches of the military service. They are known by those with whom they serve, without regard to what ultimately appears on their DD-214. I would love to hear from some of the men who served with Olsen to learn whether he was someone who could be relied upon, who could be trusted, and who did his job well. I suspect that I know the answer but I do not know with certainty. Some make him out now as a martyr of sorts, a hero for the Occupy Here and There mob. Others want to vilify him for taking his hatred of the Marine Corps public. I am in the latter camp. What he did post service was not the equivalent of the usual grumbling and complaining of active military people. FTA was a common expression when I was in the Army. Creating a website to publicly bash a service and encourage others to express hatred for that service is quite a different thing. One is expressed among ‘family’ members; the other is bad mouthing that family to strangers.
October 29th, 2011 at 7:53 am
@79-Everyone who has served has expressed their displeasure with their branch of service to their peers. When they continue to bash their branch of service after leaving, claiming it as a mistake, or saying that they were one of the select few who weren’t “brainwashed”, then it becomes something more than venting discontent.
The kid is playing both sides of the fence. He hated the marines, and did everything he could do to get out. He badmouthed the corps until a time where claiming to be a marine could serve his interests. Then, miraculously, he was squared away, and had served honorably. Bullshit.
October 29th, 2011 at 9:01 am
Sean@71, um, no it isn’t. If you’d bother to read any of the posts and click on the links provided, you’d know that, and you wouldn’t have made an ass of yourself, much like OG does every time it sits down to type.
You guys should have tried to cover up all of his bullshit before you tried to make him a poster boy for the occuturds.
October 29th, 2011 at 9:23 am
@ Teddy996 – Likewise, almost every guy that I knew during the Nam era ( except Mad Dog Shriver and his famous quote, “Just one good deal after another!” ) cursed the Army, the VC, Vietnam in general, the food, the climate, the PC_bullshit brass who issued PC bullshit ROE that changed weekly – and FTA / FTW were common sights. But NONE of the guys who came back, that I knew, ever doubted that they would go back in a heartbeat if asked… for their country and moreover, for their brothers in arms. the loyalty toward your brothers far exceeded whatever gripes and moans you had about government policy, etc. All the philosophical crap about our ‘policy’ goes down the toilet when you are counting on the guy next to you to keep your ass from being shot dead, and you know he is counting on you to do the same. You don’t come home then talk crap about the unit you were with or the guys still there, or whatever.
I would agree that the Corps today is run, like every other branch, by PC brassholes who think not of the men but only of their own careers, getting a few stars, and making good political contacts. Like court-martialing a Marine or a SEAL for killing bad guys or bitch-slapping a terrorist… but that is the brass, NOT the branch of the service!
So, this bastard trying to get his glory from attacking the Corps? Piss on him and the whore he rode in on.

#88, “my comment is blocked so nobody can see it”. And yet, here you are, in 3 straight comments. You get more freedom here than any poster from here would get at DU, Kos, and the other sewers you hang out in.
You’d be better served if you took a class in comprehension, but I doubt you’d comprehend it.

@90 Don’t make me laugh I have been restricted from day 1 the only posts that I make that do make it through are general ones, if I get into details they are blocked it is really frustrating perhaps you people don’t deserve me on this site

Blocked, OG? Care to back that up? Just so’s ya know, I get to see the inner workings and the only posts that are blocked or deleted are spambot comments.

Sparky, when you are as wedded to pushing the big lie as much as OG and her ilk (paid to come here and troll honey?), the little lies come easy — and help make the big lie easier to swallow.

October 29th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
OG’s at it again. Personally i’d expect more from a grad student, you know, like the ability to think and put a realtively cognisant thought together, instead of spewing ideas and indoctrination she gets force fed to her in the lecture hall. Such a disappointment.
October 29th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
@98 well at least I am “spewing” something I heard in an institution of higher learning you just spew whatever you heard on last nights hannity..
October 29th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
I don’t watch hannity. Nice try though, but not really. Still not impressed. But that’s your problem, you’re spewing what you’ve heard instead of finding out what’s really going on for yourself. Most people drink the kool aid. Seems like you’re guzzling it.
October 29th, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Women, melle, look over OG’s posts. NO way those inane thoughts originated in one vapid mind, OG is a collaborative effort from the Occuturds.
“perhaps you people don’t deserve me on this site”. Stop, please, sides hurt from laughing, comedy gold, girls.
October 29th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Oh, and OG, “an institution of higher learning” is not juvenile detention, no matter what your self-esteem mentor tells you.
October 29th, 2011 at 4:21 pm
I’m in an institution of higher learning. So far the only new thing I’ve learned is that moonshine is tasty and F**K Pitt for leaving the big east. This is F**king BULLSHIT!!!

Sparky I told you to inspect the field before you play it.
October 31st, 2011 at 11:55 am
No organization is going to be totally sensible in its running day to day, not even the Corps. When you let officers loose to “be in charge” dangerous things can ensue. To a certain extent, forces external to the Corps affect us and how we do business, as do the “career builders” that are found in every organization. In the end, we get the jobs done though, ALL OF THEM.
But I bet if you ask Max Uiarte of Terminal Lance, he is pretty proud of his service, his friends, and his fellow Marines. I know I am, and I include Max in that family.

Many Marines became law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty – have these same people yelled for justice for them?
November 6th, 2011 at 1:49 am
Marine Online says this guy never existed.
Any Marine with an account can log in and verify this. Sorry but this guy is a sham and deserves every bit of pressure against his weak little brain.
November 8th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Ok. First If you have not experienced the USMC lately (such as you oldtimers) which Im always hearing how great the corps WAS, YOU really don’t know what has become of your beloved corps. There will always be what we call the USMC Goonies. Marines that attack you for talking down the Cors. To be honest there is a time to voice your opinion, but I base them off facts. Most times however you are just a bitch and a whiner whenever you want to go to this free medical. No you aren’t denied medical but they can make it hard for you. Marines want to treat you like a bitch but call it professionalism. Marines are supposed to be freedom fighters the the very ones that don’t bend over and do fight back for what is right, but they are undisciplined? Ive been toup Iraq and afghan. I dihave my job that givesis me ecvery right toare voice myyour opinion. OPEN YOUR EYES……Marines try to tell other marines how the corps is this and that….hey idiot YOU are in the corps and experience it first hand..can’t bullshit it….the system is for snco, and above really..sgt and below are just stepping stones to improve ones career and once they’re done you are discarded and a mew dumb marine is brought in to do the same thing. We are just pawns in a complicated chess game. Kept in the dark because once we see the light REAL marines fight for it. Not tuck your tail between your legs and go aye aye. For all the motivated corps loving marines out their that talk shit about the nonhackers….look in the mirror real good and ask your self ” do I practice what I preach? Am I honorable? Will I put myself out for my marines? Am I two faced?” And btw if the corps is so great why is it 85%! Get out after first enlistment. I guess im just bitching though huh? Even though that is a fact!
November 8th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
I always let my Marines go to medical, no problem. Can’t get the job done if you’re broke
. It’s what you make of it, much like everything else in life.
November 9th, 2011 at 11:28 am
Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Right? Scott Olsen has earned the right to speak from his point of view; same way African-Americans chose,sometimes,to call each other “Nigger”.
November 9th, 2011 at 11:42 am
But if you read what he has written about the Corps image that one can say the phrase “Once a Marine, always a Marine” is part of that too.
So to me he use saying Marine Corp image is propaganda unless it suits him. I mean if I hated the Army to the point that he does I would NEVER wear any Army uniform ever again.
November 10th, 2011 at 12:01 am
Ok first off, Scott olsen joined the corps and went to fight in a bullshit war for a country who will fuck us over if they profit from it. Do some research on the war and you will be disgusted by how many people have died in it. The war itself was over in 5 days yet we still occupy both countries.
By Scott talking about how much he hated the marine corps is him using his 1st amendment right. He went to war twice for the corps.
In the marine corps boot camp is 13 weeks long where you are broken down and conditioned to think you are the best of the best and that you can kill anything an it’s all good. Some popular sayings in the corps are oh rah kill bodies eat babies. In combat training we watch videos of real people being shot and killed, blown up and lit on fire, as all the marines cheer and joke.
It is a sick establishment, I have been a marine for 4 years and I am finally getting away from this hateful fighting force. Long live Scott Olsen for his bravery to go to war in the desert and then go to war to change the world. Wake the fuck up people.
Sporkmaster: It points out that his wearing the uniform was as much of a stunt as anything else. If he hated it that much why is he wearing the uniform the protest?
Also care to comment on him taking photos of his Marijuana plant that he was growing that he had posted online?
November 10th, 2011 at 12:16 am
Anyone who doesn’t realize that phrases like “oorah kill bodies” and, ESPECIALLY, “eat babies” are said in jest is a fucking moron not worthy of stealing oxygen those of us with fully functioning brains could actually use. Hey the Corps ain’t for you, you obviously missed the point, then by all means get out. You won’t be missed I can assure you. Good luck in your future endeavors devil dog.
November 12th, 2011 at 5:03 am
i love the marine corps, and i can definitely think for myself. Some people just cant realize that 4 years in the marine is being at the bottom of the barrel. Low rank, probably same unit whole time, more than likely same base for whole time, dealing with pretty much the same people. The Marine Corps is bigger than 4 years at a couple units. Don’t form opinions of the Corps based off 4 short years in the same vicinity.
November 13th, 2011 at 10:27 am
u wont be missed either now go suck gunnys dick u moron!
November 13th, 2011 at 10:29 am
oops i didnt think that would post…
November 13th, 2011 at 10:37 am
Nobody should have to put up with hearing or listening to “kill babies.”motivate”, and “oorah” receing these helpings about 1078 per day being forced by everyone/excessively all the time.Does this make up for actual communicating because everyone secretly beleives its a screwed up system. Nobody wants to be around overbearing grouchy people. In meetings do all of you sit around and stare at eachother and look around myself and go, oorah, OOrah, oorAH, orrah ok for an hour and then calim the meeting is over? lol.
November 13th, 2011 at 10:50 am
all ive got to say is the Marine needs to either change, change,change or wipe it out and get rud of this monotany b.s. its only hurting alot of people, i see what it does to people. Bad things. i talked to older vietname vets and they said it doesnt sound nearly as crazy and dumb as it doesn Now. they said it was kidna bad back then but after bootcamp everyone was treated as marine. lots of oldtimers say its worse now from jsut the stories i tell and i dont overdo on my stories that are real life based.

November 14th, 2011 at 8:26 am
this scott olsen guy obviously was a terd. he couldnt hack it in the corps and that’s why he got kicked out. that is also why this site is crap. it is written by a bunch of wimps who either didnt serve in the corps or who couldnt hack it. everyone who served in the corps dealt with the bs. everyone went through the same thing. the corps is known for this and isnt going to change. stop trying to change the corps into the boy scouts. also, this olsen guy did 2 tours in iraq as a technician for christs sake. he never saw combat and sat on base all day. maybe thats why he hates the corps. he didnt belong in the corps he should have joined the air national guard. lastly as far as his injury, its unfortunate that he was injured, but it was his fault. 1st amendment protects the right to assemble and speech. it does not give u the right to disregard police commands. they were given their opportunity to protest when it got out of hand, police stepped in and asked to disperse. when they didn’t they used tear gas. wow i never would have thought that could happen. seriously? he got hit by accident. lets be logical here. the cop was not going to risk his career and jail to purposely hit him in the head. he needs to man up and stop being a bitch. this is coming for a combat marine and cop btw in case u wanted to say i dont know what im talking about.
November 14th, 2011 at 8:50 am
I know a lot of good men who left the marines for different reasons. I got out after 4 years (honorman in boot camp, e5 in 3 years, honorable discharge) because I saw through their crap. It’s not just the marines. Progressive minds refuse to be locked up. Only the dimwitted republican religious fanatic fucktards unable to make it on their own in civilian life think the military is great. If he was such a nonhacker how did he last 2 tours? Get off of his shit and grow up.
November 14th, 2011 at 8:54 am
Oh yeh, Have you ever noticed how many ex marines are now cops? What the hell else can they do? 0300 grunts hump m16′s because they’re too stupid for any real mos’s. They usually stay in for 20 because they get off on the respect they get and that power trip also fits in well with law enforcement. They probably also love fox news and don’t ever have a clue how stupid they are.
November 14th, 2011 at 9:03 am
Being a combat marine and/or a cop doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about. It only identifies you as a brainwashed follower republican with no real skillset. You probably voted for Bush who was an air national guard member when he wasn’t too coked up to show up for weekend duty. Scott wasn’t shot by accident. Nothing will happen to the cop, nothing ever happens to cops or priests.
November 14th, 2011 at 9:56 am
Only the dimwitted republican religious fanatic fucktards unable to make it on their own in civilian life think the military is great.
Tell ya what, let’s compare W-2′s and then you can tell me how shitty the military is as an organization. A lot of my success in the past decade or so is based on not just the technical abilities I gained during my service, but the instillation of self-discipline, integrity, and sacrifice.
And it’s looking like Scott was nailed by so-called “friendly fire.” Figures a bunch of limp-wristed faggot unwashed hippie fucks couldn’t throw a fucking rock far enough to hit the cops riot line.
November 14th, 2011 at 10:10 am
More evidence that the left simply cannot tolerate anyone who thinks for themselves, makes decisions based on a thought process rather than what feels good at the moment, or operates from a basis of silly things like honor and duty. Oh, well.
Those of us with the skills and will to survive will (as usual) take care of the whiny babies who cannot do it for themselves. They seem to always trust that we will do so. The part of the concept that they never grasp is that not all of them will survive because if they don’t get really good at taking care of themselves quickly, they are SOL.
Do they not still teach the survival of the fittest part of Darwinism?
November 14th, 2011 at 10:15 am
Yeah, what Sparky said..
November 14th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Reuters has an article on a “statement” from Olsen this morning. Basically confirms everything we already knew. Yes the I Hate The Marine Corps website was his. Yes, he was a “technician” in his two tours. Yes, he was chaptered out before completing his service obligation. Hey Scott, you can be both proud and ashamed of your service as your mood suits you. I think they call it the Jon Carry Rule.
November 14th, 2011 at 11:18 am
Gee, no mention of the brain surgery that was required to reduce the swelling in his brain that the OWS experts claimed (and the moron media blindly re-stated.)
I like the cervical collar, Scott Olsen. Nice touch. A personal injury lawyer’s best tool.
November 14th, 2011 at 11:22 am
He can make up any kinda site he wants. the only people who will listen dont really matter anyway. He obviously is bitter with the Marines, and I will guess he was booted for being a douche bag. He probably loved the Marines until he was booted. And if he would have paid more attention to his Marine Corp training, and watched his 6 and 12 he would have dodged that canister that fractured his skull. to bad it didnt hit him in the mouth! So he would shut the fuck up.

@#118. Steve, Steve Steve, huge, you delivered a huge, steaming pile of derp, right on cue. Let me explain something to you which you seem to have missed. See, as a SNCO, it’s my job to take care of my Marines, to make sure they have what the need to get the job done, be it training, equipment, what have you. It’s also my job to take care of them if they’re a fuck up, you know, that whole thing about BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. That being said, I didn’t get to where I’m by telling people what they want to hear, but rather what they need to hear, you know(or maybe not), the way it’s supposed to be. I couldn’t possibly give a shit less what someone writes about me on a piece of paper nor do I really care about my next promotion, I’ll pick up when I pick up, no big deal. so when you realize that 1. No one owes you anything, and 2. you’re not special like everyone told you when you were growing up, you might actually go somewhere in life. Time to grow the fuck up son. Oh and Steve, I can’t suck something when it’s constantly up YOUR ass. (Not that i’d want to anyways) Regards.;)
November 15th, 2011 at 12:02 am
Service in any one of the uniformed branches is not, in itself, a revelation of character….the conditions of service reveal the character…..had he received a general discharge, rather than an administrative discharge might lend some credibility to the comments on this thread. However, it is pretty apparent by his behavior, website, comments, and activities that he was not up to the character that is expected of member of the US Military, past…or present.
Do not forget that Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Whitman, and many others of questionable character have worn the uniforms of various US Military Branches…and have just as surely disgraced themselves by their actions….
Scott Olson is NOT a hero, by any stretch of the imagination, and anyone who views him as such has serious judgement issues…
November 15th, 2011 at 5:03 am
A U.S.Marine (One view): A man who allows himself to be trained and treated like a dog, that sics any thing or any body he is told to; one with his “head insulated inside a jar of obedience”. Considers himself as the higest kind of military Man, who feels secure and powerful as long as he is being obedient and loyal to the Corp. He has little respect
for anyone who voices a contrary view.
November 15th, 2011 at 7:26 am
Clay Graves (One View): A clueless asshole who cannot articulate a contrary view, let alone one that is worthy of anyone’s respect.
November 15th, 2011 at 8:16 am
just look at the facts. look at Olsen’s service record and then make a judgement. someone made a good point earlier. he is getting admin separated. that is reserved for terds who couldn’t hack it and are washed out. if he had a distinguished record it would add some credibility to his claims. it is obvious that he is simply bitter. also, a lot people pass judgement on the corps for how they operate. let me remind you they r an infantry force. there is no room for questioning orders or thinking things through or worrying about hurting someone’s feelings. they operate like they do b/c of their nature. i don’t know why people join the corps and then bitch about how it runs after theyre in. everyone knows what they r getting into before hand. lastly, on here and all over people have been claiming olsen was shot on purpose at the rally. show us some evidence that supports that. if it was that much of an abuse case lawyers all over the place would be investigating. again think logically. out of all the protesters there, the cop decided on purpose to shoot the iraq veteran? b/c it makes sense to risk his career and livelihood to shoot someone on purpose with a tear gas grenade. freedom of speech does not protect you forever when u r protesting. u have to abide my the rules of the municipality. if they say you can only protest during these hours, only have so many people within an area, people have to abide by it. when these animal protesters started damaging property and getting violent, what did they really think was going to happen with the police?
November 15th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
All of this talk about “he was shot with a tear gas grenade”….a 37mm teargas launcher is an indirect fire weapon when use to disperse gas rounds, it was an unfortunate accident, not willful injury…
November 15th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
#136 All trolling aside, you couldn’t be more ignorant of what a Marine is if you tried. Just a hint. Sgt Dakota Meyer, our recent Medal of Honor recipient, disobeyed a direct order, which resulted in his nomination for the MOH. If you were never a Marine, you will never understand, so do everyone a favor and quit speculating.
November 15th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
#136….we have interservice rivalry where things similar to that are said between branches (I am a US Army Vet) but we maintain respect for one another even when we poke fun…you obviously have some chip on your shoulder towards authority, and/or those who take the oath and, in various ways, protect this nation from those who reside beyond our shores, who…much like yourself, hate this country and what it stands for…that very protection allows you to speak poorly of those men, who are better than you, and your statement reflects more upon YOUR character than it does the men you attempt to denigrate…

Hey Hunter, in #’s 124-126, you make some claims that really do make you look like an ass.
“If he was such a nonhacker how did he last 2 tours?”. Easy, he didn’t go outside the wire. It’s out there, and been pointed out to Occutards like you.
“Progressive minds refuse to be locked up”. Nah, progressive “minds” refuse to sober up.
“It only identifies you as a brainwashed follower
republicanOccutard with no real skillset”.“Scott wasn’t shot”> Now, that’s something we can agree on, he wasn’t shot, he was boinked in the noggin by another limp-wristed Occutard.

The Marines fought and died especially in the WW2 campaign
against the Japanese. Thank God we had men willing to put
their life on the line to stop the insanity of Japan because it denied other human beings the right to live peacefully as they desired; it had to be a dictatorship type of life, without freedom to think and speak differently, where creative change or divergent ideas could not be tolerated. The Japanese wanted to feel powerful and for everyone else to respect them, so they decided to use their military to force that on the world. The Marines were therefore, fighting for democracy. Isn’t that what democracy is about, the feedom to allow different points of view and willingness to question authority and traditions without putting someone down for it? Why is it heresy to question something even about the Marines, who fought for the very right to do so?

Hey scumbag. 4-year boot lance, I bet you did hate the Marine Corps, because apparently you were a lazy shitbag that couldn’t make rank. Big surprise, the Corps isn’t a forgiving organization.
Get F* yourself idiot.
November 19th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
More evidence that apparently we are doing something right here?
Ya got folks screaming because we support the military and others screaming that we hate the military. Too, too funny.

Scott olson was not a s bag. He was a hard sworkign young man like any of you. the real world and the marine corps especially is a bunch of horse crap i have never experience such dumb chaos in my life. Its unreal what we have to go through with people. This is beyond anything that any human beign should have to endure,pogs and especially grunts, some grunts. I really think the M.C. needs to be examined a little bit closer. Maybe change the system a little different and train different. Because all this bs trainign is doign is makign marines stupid,er and more apt to doign drugs among other worse things that shouldnt be initiated for. I jsut wonder how some of these men and women sleep at night with how they show and teach and act towards the junior marines. Its like your in for four years and even when you think you are ready to advance for some human respect it never ends. Alot of people reach a point where theyve had enough. Luckily it changed me in no way, shape or form. I still respect people, give them a chance and are freindly to everyoen regardless of what they held(back when i was in) in the usmc. All it is is a bunch of constant bragging lil b*tches that think there soemthing which they are simply and obviously not. Sorry but the marine corps needs to be like the army. You dont have to act like a big mouth to be somebody more special. The way to influence is through respect i dont care what anyone says. and if your a female lol dont even join that da-n institution. Its a whole he– of alot worse for them im sure!Nothing they are doing. What a buncha of tedious bologna!

let’s see a place where you’re not allowed to have your own personality unless your always acting like a marine corps robot fun bot ,a toy that can be told thigns to and told what to do. Its a waste of time, its a big confused life,its something you look at and laugh about. But you wanna know something? Not me okay, but msot people who join the Marine Corps are very lost in the world around. Ive seen what it really does to people. It has ruined alot of my freinds lives before they got influenced and before they left, or soemthing like that. Its a strange life. I’m sure as hell pretty proud for everything ive done in the”marine corps”. lol some people really have the nerve boy.Ive jsut breathed air that said here i am and i was a target because i didnt copy or mimic and follow after soemthing exactly so much to become it. I was consumed with the marine corps and for some crazy stupid reason people used that as excuse to shine the light on soemone else. Why? Because they were too chicken shit to call it chicken shit. too much crap going on. i could go on, and on and on..lol but im not going to.too much mental and emotional abuse is going on that shouldnt be tolerated.I dont udnerstand Y this is not being overturned as BULLSHIT.

Yeah, he’s up to six different screen names – all on this discussion. Another massive grassroots movement of support for Scott Olsen.
And, he’s coming in from Shawano, WI.
I think he’s angry because he’s using Windows Vista and Internet Explorer. Dear troll, upgrade to Windows 7, it’ll make your life happier.

Ugh, so many things I want to say to the troll but Im not sure I should feed it. Trolls annoy me but ignorant ones annoy me even more.

IE? An evil Windoze product? I thought all you hipster fags used overpriced Macs! Jebus, you’d think the troll would be on Firefox, at least.
Oh, and troll–spellchecker. It is your friend. So are capitals and punctuation, to say nothing of paragraphs, shit like that.

Okay, Hemingway, it’s time for some friendly advice. From what I can see, you are unemployable, lonely, fruatrated, angry, and uneducated to both the ways of the world and basic English. You probably drink far too much and hate your mother as well. Your prospects are nil and your past is a series of gaffes, errors, mistakes, and failures for which you take no responsibility. Now, with all of that, one might conclude that your life is not worth living. But that is not true. Your petty existence serves to make everyone else grateful that however short they may sell themselves with respect to talent, skills, and accomplishments, they can see in you how much worse it could have been.

Occupy Wall Street (OWS) gangs commit criminal sabotage, a deliberate action aimed at weakening another entity through subversion, obstruction, disruption, or destruction (Revised Code of Washington 9.05.060): disruption of operations of one of the world biggest ports resulted in revenue losses; disruption of work of small businesses resulted in laid offs and unemployment fund losses in NY; disruption of banks’ economic operations and bank robbery attempt; vandalism; rape; etc. Criminal sabotage is a class B felony punishable according to chapter 9A.20 RCW (Revised Code of Washington). US and local Authorities shall take bold measures to enforce the US LAW instead of cover it under fake “freedom of speech” umbrella twisting the US Constitution in anti-American way.
According to Associated Press, OWS gangs’ activity already cost to American taxpayers over $13M. These punks must compensate America for stolen money.
In 1930′s in Germany and in 1917 in Russia, similar bandits got a power under the same slogans, and using the same revolutionary tactic. As a result, German became a fascist country; Russia – socialist country; the World got WWII and over 56 mln. deaths.
Moreover, OWS, gangs of genetic lazy freeloaders and thieves, use Nazi rhetoric and SS intimidation tactics demonstrating their real “face” and intention.
This disease shall be killed at embryonic stage.

Wow. Just spent about 20 minutes reading this thread. My head hurts from the frontal assaults on the English language that some of these trolls have posted. I didn’t know that you could get high school diplomas out of a Crackerjack box.

There is this fromer Marine on trial right now in Iran for being a CIA agent. It is said that he posed as a disgrunteled former Marine who had classified info to give or sell to the Iranians. I highly suspect that Iran is making this up. They just love getting their hands on former Marines to make examples of them. What is unsetteling about this is just how did they get their hands on him? If the Iranians are wrong and he is not really a CIA agent it would imply that he really is a disgrunteled Marine who wsa trying to pass classified info on to the Iranians.
If he really was a CIA agent and not a disgrunteled former Marine that is unsetteling too. What a lame unoriginal cover story. Shit they make me look like a Pultzer Prize winning novelist.
Anyways how will we really know that he has been executed. The Iranians could kill some other prisoner, or even a volunteer martyer just to pull off a cover story of thier own to make it appear that they really just trashed all of the documents that came with him.
Well I just hope that everything works out for the best.

If Scotty was kicked out of the Marine Corps for drug use… he doesn’t rate the title of, “Marine.” Every Marine is only able to be on Active Duty for a limited time, but some are forced out, and some are kicked out; the best of the Marines are the ones who have completed their obligated time in service with a HONORABLE DISCHARGE (Once a Marine, always a Marine).
Regardless of a veterans status and their disdain or love of Corps and country, I feel that the cops who shot ol’ Scott should be punished to the full extent of the law, and lose their right to own any fire-arm in the USA.
PS: The Marine Corps is supposed to be hard; and that is why many Marines feel “HATE” for the Marine Corps. It ain’t supposed to be sweet and nice like those other branches of the so-called, “military” (AKA: boy-scouts), and that’s the reason why Marines love the Corps too. It doesn’t have to make sense; we’re talking about the US governments own trained killers, and one who was a possible screw-up (drug use is a major no-no in the Marines; you’ll probably have to still work for about a year with a loss of rank, loss of respect from your fellow Marines, and NO PAY; you’d probably hate the USMC as well in that case).
February 20th, 2012 at 10:59 am
Any update on this turd?
February 20th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
Frist of all, when one joins any of the Military Branches.YOU HAVE NO CIVIC RIGTHS. There are no debates as to whenter to follow a order.Same as the business world,you do or face possible dismissal. They also have rules and expect job performance.Remember you voluntary signed a contact. The military is what you put into it. USMC RVN (Jun 66-Sept 68) HMM_362.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:40 pm
“HATE” is such a strong word to use on the Marines. “Dislike” would be mine; I spent most of my childhood wanting to be in the military, to be apart of something special, something that was greater than myself. I hoped for a chance to serve; I prayed for it, I worked through school for it and it all came to that fatefull day in April of last year when I enlisted in one of the hardest branches in the service. I attended MCRD San Diego and a sixteen year dream of service came crashing down in just ten weeks. You wonder what sent me home after getting that close to graduation? Of course you do. When your entire platoon does not even want you there you’re finished, when one of your drill instructors puts you on his S%#t list and wants you gone and uses physical force, you know your done. Inability to adapt/Sucicidal thoughts and actions is what ended it all.
I have tried to make sense of what went wrong, what could I have done differently and to tell you the truth I still don’t have the answers; all I know is that I worked so hard at this dream and it I let myself down, and I have to life with that. The time spent in boot camp I watched the demeanor of those around me change, an increasing sense of arrogance that borderlined a “God” complex started to show in almost every single one of them but not in me, “Why?” I wondered. Why does this branch of service break you down to the point of insanity and strip every characteristic from you that makes you an indiviual and builds you into something entirely different? How does doing that make someone a better soldier, or in this case a Marine? Why were those drill instructors unable to strip me of my indifidualism and make me into what I thought was a better person? Could it be that it wasn’t meant to be, or could it be that I was already better? I have pondered over these questions and, as I said, still have not found the answer.
I feel that only time will be able to answer these questions.
In no way have I lost respect for the anyone who wears the uniform of a Marine, but that does not mean I have to like them.
February 25th, 2012 at 12:22 am
@ 188 Joe, I gotta respect you for admitting “I let myself down”. I know guys who got bounced, for their own actions, but continued to blame the Corps. Thank you.
The philosophy behind recruit training is to break everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Once everyone is broken down, then they start to build everyone back up. This is where the “us against them” mentality begins that leads to where the “brotherhood” bond begins. This is when we became a unit. Could it be the ‘arrogance’ that borderland on a “God” complex was actually ‘confidence’? I came to recruit training after having spent two years playing linebacker at a local Jr college (5’8″, 190#) so i had plenty of confidence, what they gave me was PRIDE!

@ 190, anonymous. If I might ask, What does where one works have to do with this topic? Did you serve with scottie in the Marine Corps? Did you serve in the Marine Corps at all? If you answer no to either question, may I suggest you off you ‘opinion’, not make insulting remarks.

How many of you that are criticizing him have served in the military? To dismiss someone’s views so easily and to label him a “hippy” because he speaks ill of the government is ignorant at best. Chances are, the majority of you who are badmouthing him have never been in the military and are just as bad as the draft dodgers you idolize. Conservatism is one thing, out right stupidity another. I served in the Marine Corps, 7th battalion, 2nd marines, in an infantry company. I saw first hand the bullshit that people have to deal with. Sure people that should not have been in the military get through, but there’s a difference between “can’t hack-its” and people who are beaten within inches of consciousness/their lives, in the name of their “brotherhood”, and in order to cause “unit cohesiveness”. Does that make sense to you? People are so quick to start military dick-riding, but know nothing about what really happens. They think that every member is off killing terrorists. News flash, they’re getting drunk and beating the shit out of 18 year olds, using safety in numbers to make sure there’s no retaliation and no way that the person can stop it. So there’s a grunt’s perspective, what’ve you got? Why are military suicide rates so high? Because it’s a broken system, that doesn’t take care of its own. A lot of you have said that the military is what you make of it. This may be true if you’re commissioned, but if you’re an enlisted personel then you get what you get, and noone will help you make it better. Your time is not your own to pursue advancement, and your “brothers” are more concerned with themselves than with the unit as a whole. People are so incredibly closeminded. Why is it impossible to conceive of the notion that our military is not flawless? Get educated fools.
November 12th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
#198, you ought to check out the “Members’ Gallery” before you make assumptions about whether or not we’ve served in the military.

Interesting. I always heard that Marines never referred to themselves as “former marines” after leaving active duty. In fact, I always heard that the title “former marine” was reserved for those who got pitched for cause.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
Hondo – not to pick a nit here, but I think the term you are looking for is ex-Marine. You know, like murffa. He called himself former, but most of us called him ex.
Aren’t we glad the misfit checked in? Just proving that some folks simply can’t hack it.
February 5th, 2013 at 7:43 pm
Don’t join the USMC. For your own good.
They don’t care about you, and will not.
Ultra-conservatives, close-minded, fundamentalist, mostly poorly educated backwoods types and ghetto trash, intolerant bigots, misguided nationalism.
Get ready for the poorest quality of life imaginable. Work-life balance that leaves the life out. Poor pay and poor attitudes. Low moral, everyone wants out but has to wait so pong, fooled by the false prospects of a professional organization.
Don’t be a fool.
February 5th, 2013 at 8:46 pm
You are right AnotherMarine, the only thing that the Marine Corps did for me was give me a marketable skill, a good work ethic, a security clearance that allows me to earn over $110K a year, appreciation for what I have earned, and access to a network of fellow service members that are willing to help me if I ever need it. Yeah, the Corps really sucks. I probably would have been better off staying in Jersey earning next to nothing.
February 5th, 2013 at 9:30 pm
First rule in anything AM, No one owes you ANYTHING. If you kept that in perspective maybe your time in would have been spent doing something constructive instead of becoming emotionally over invested in something you can’t control. Everything’s what you make of it.
