If he doesn't consider himself a marine, why should you?
Oh, that's right, you need street cred from the people you ordinarily spit on.
But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper.
The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps. (click to enlarge)

A Scott Olsen is listed as the registered owner of this domain, and I was able to confirm that this is indeed the same Scott Olsen based on a user profile on the fundraising site pledgie.com.

Compare the image above to Olsen’s profile on Facebook – it’s definitely him.
Using this information, I also uncovered a comment from Olsen on the Yahoo Answers site from last year where he is highly critical of the Marine Corps:
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 corpsâ€. 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.

Oh yeah, and he was dishonorably discharged...kinda like Jesse MacBeth.

Remember the US Army soldier in the 1980s who "defected" to the USSR and they gave him a job as snake catcher. I don't remember much about it but it seems like this Olsen guy would have made a great snake catcher.

And Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine. Can we expect a little DuLove being spread to him too? :hammer:

Just a xnks for the info sarge. :cheersmate:

I just assumed what was being said was true because I had no desire to get anymore info on him or the situation. This however is very interesting.
Clearly not what they'd like you to believe.

It never is.

The list of Marines that have ended up acting in a not so honorable way could probably be a very thick book in itself. The guy in the Texas Tower shootings was also a former Marine. I tend to give him a pass because after they shot and killed him the Autopsy revealed he had a grapefruit sized tumor on his brain. So it could be debated as to if and how much that guy really knew what he did. This guy with the web site is nothing more then splooge...that's the sound whale shit makes when it hits the ocean floor.

TRIPE down memory lane. This is what DUmbasses really think about Marines:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1376282
When 8 Marines were ACCUSED--not convicted, only accused--the DUmbasses wanted to, "hang 'em high." No due process, just execution. As fate would have it, the Marines were acquitted when the prosecution's case fell apart like wet tissue.
But let some jack-hole with a BCD take a bottle thrown by a fellow lawbreaking rioter and suddenly all that matters is the poor, poor soldier is being dishonored by the nation that sent him to war.
DUmbasses don't give a shit about troops. They only think of troops as political pawns. They accused Bush of sweeping soldiers away like a petulant child but they are the ones who only love or hate the toys depending on what they think they should do to manipulate mommy and daddy.
