My response to Sgt C, USMC
   
I consider you to be a Benedict Arnold with a crew cut. If your way of thinking truly represents the values of OUR Marine Corps, then its time to "case the colors" and disband the USMC. I was once a Sergeant in the Army and we NEVER considered turning our guns on the very people that we were sworn to defend - the American citizens. Sadly, the USMC has become a modern day SS for GOP-TV (Faux News) and the increasingly fanatical republican party. I used to admire and respect the USMC. Now I have no respect for them, and here's the most important thing for you, Sgt. C and your fellow Marines to remember - there is no fear of you. You can take your Full Metal Jacket attitude and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, because you are not worthy of our fear or our respect. Semper Fi that, dude.

Joey Liberal will be one of those that will be screaming the loudest, for the Marines, the next time we are attacked.

[Ralph Wiggum]

What story am I missing here?  Did something happen while the 0bumbler was overseas this weekend?

[Texacon]

I thought this might be in response to the Marine who penned the letter about 'Civil War' but it looks like this is in response to another Marine's letter ....

Why would they cheer on one Marine letter about turning their guns on American citizens yet put down another?  If this is in response to another letter then the hypocrisy is huge.

The truth be know, he probably isn't, nor ever has been in the military, let alone the USMC.

True.  Because as we know, DUmmies lie, and lie all the time.

[Odin's Hand]

Another thread where every last DUmpmonkey is "former military personnel". 

[Texacon]

This IS in reference to the same letter.  Gotta say I agree with Joey Liberal on this one.  The hypocrisy in that thread is still huge but not in the same way ... for instance;

1. What a complete load of ****ing bullshit
 
Once Americans turn their weapons against the government, they are no longer Americans. They are the enemy,

So take your Billy Badass attitude and shove it.

WeDidIt thinks that if Americans turn weapons upon the govenment (even this incredibly corrupt one) they are no longer Americans who deserve any rights and should be attacked by our Marine Corps.  Wonder if it considers the enemy in Iraq the same way??

Or Johnny Taliban.

[kenth]

The dummies are anti-military, unless they're fantasizing about the military killing conservatives. More or less what it boils down to.

[delilahmused]

I'm confused. What did this Sgt. C say that prompted this vitriol?

Cindie, unfortunately everything I've found has been truncated.  ALL of them have been edited and when you go to the link ... it says the article has been deleted by the author.

Here is what I found of it though;

An article I wish I would never have to write -
To those calling for a civil war, this Marine wants you to stop, and think...

By Sgt C USMC

................

The headlines of the last week have reminded me more of glimpsing at the S2 Daily Briefing Sheets while in theater or the Al-Jazeera than the NY Times or the Washington Post. Think about that for a moment, let it sink in.

..........................


But the SECOND you start committing acts of violence and vandalism, then you've usurped that Constitution. You in a way have assaulted it. And then you and I (I being every servicemember who has sworn to defend said Constitution) will have a MAJOR PROBLEM.

For those of you calling for a civil war, I implore you to stop and think about what you're saying. Look around your neighborhood and your city. Now imagine using that terrain to survive. Imagine dodging semi-automatic rifle fire as you scramble from cover to cover, dragging your wounded child behind you. Imagine the deafening report of a mortar as it strikes the ground a 150 feet in front of you, the overpressure enough to shatter your teeth and perforate an ear drum. Try and envision a Stryker rolling through neighbor's front lawn or a F/A-18 making lazy loops over your head in Close Air Support for the troops in the distance.

...................

Now I 'd like to disperse a myth here - many of you think that US military would not fight civilians. I can't speak for all, but in my case - the moment you declare civil war, you're no longer civilians. The moment you attack the constitution, you're now enemies of that constitution. And I swore to defend and support and if necessary give my life for that Constitution and utilize every tool, technique, and weapon at my disposal to do so. And trust me, I'm not alone.

Chris, thanks for the link.  As I see it, Joe Blowing Liberals is upset because Sgt. C (Thank God for Marines like him!) didn't mention defending the President at all in that letter.  He constantly references defending the Constitution, not President Obama.

BSS ... actually all the DUmmies were praising him.  I think this letter was penned in response to the Tea Party's opposition to the legislation that was forced down our throats.

At least that was the way I was reading it.  You don't see too many liberals at this point in time talking about 'Taking back their country' but there are a bunch of conservatives saying just that.

I think the letter was written by an anomaly ..... a liberal Marine.  I think that's why it has been removed from the internet.

Just my opinion though.

I guess he never read the declaration of Independence, you know the part where it says if the Gov starts turning against the people you have a right to overthrow it. I am not saying we are close to that but I guess he would throw his lot in with the Gov if it got that bad. Oh by the way does he think all the Teapartiers are office workers? hate to break it to him prolly alot of them are ex-millitary.

Yeah, the whole thing seemed like a lot of chest thumping to me.  They seem to forget that a lot of us are/were trained.  It's easier for them to think everyone is a soft office worker.

[Airwolf]

Stupid flows like a river over there at the DUmp. If I remember correctly those of us that have served all swore to defend he constitution and to fight all enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC.

See, I don't go over to the island often--and never from work.  Which is where I was at when I posted that.

Understood.  I would rather be caught with porn on my computer at work than DUmmie.

Sadly, the USMC has become a modern day SS for GOP-TV (Faux News) and the increasingly fanatical republican party. I used to admire and respect the USMC. Now I have no respect for them

Really?  The Marine Corps is the SS now?  Have they been arresting and executing people?  Forgive me, but that's a colossally retarded remark, even if this Sgt C person is off base.  As a former Marine, I'm glad men like Joey the Blowhard don't respect me... if he did, I'd be a homosexual communist abortion doctor. 

[TheSarge]

Once Americans turn their weapons against the government, they are no longer Americans. They are the enemy,

Unless of course the "government" is Bush/Cheney/Rove then they are encouraged to turn their weapons on them...surrender to the enemy and otherwise do anything and everything they can do disgrace the uniform.

IMO we are getting close.
 Is our own government not oppressive and is not doing the will of the people? Have the Tea Partiers not been ignored, or called a "minority"?
Our government does not listen to us anymore.

Well the Marines I know are pretty conservative. Of course, they were that way before they joined. But I'll be sure to ask my son what's on his SS activity calendar. Marines that turn left go absolutely bat-shit moonbat crazy.
