@FuzzyMarineVet Yep. Not long now and each division will have military support kittens for marines to cuddle when they are feeling "unsafe".

@FuzzyMarineVet I really feel for you man. Having something you have loved and bled for disrespected and ridden into the ground like that must be excruciatingly emotionally painful. I actually had hope when O'bummer (lol) was elected that things would get better, yet he managed to fuck up worse in every criteria I had hope for, especially race relations. How he is not in prison for what he did using the FBI to fuck with an incoming president... is just par for the course now really I guess.

I hope the Marines hold out at least dude. Be a travesty if they have to change the motto to "Simper Fi." What all this shit will do (is doing) is creating war in the military mind. Obedience to the chain of command must be in place for a military to function at all. Corruption has always been a thing way at the top of that (ie the president), but spreading a mental corruption down through policy into actual military personnel and practice? The only way around that is to leave - which just shifts the mental battleground across to loyalty to your fellow soldiers vs self-interest/sending a message... Do you stay and fight it, leave in protest... Fuck decisions, there is not even a thought a loyal marine can have that doesn't violate the code in some way. They train marines to be tough enough to survive and thrive in hell, but this is mental hell robbing them of all the things that make them tough in the first place. I'm kinda talking out my arse here as a soft-cock civilian trying to imagine the situation from the little I know and to empathize, but this all seems utterly soul-destroying mate, both for vets and those in active service.

@FuzzyMarineVet OMFG dude! You don't know how much better you just made me feel about this whole fucking situation. Thank you for your service! I feel privileged to know this.
