On behalf men who are 5'6โณ but have on occasion claimed to be 5'7", our community is closely monitoring this situation, but I can say today that Putin's recent actions do not represent our community or our values.
@PersistentSeekr@Popehat HAHAHAHAHA!!! Amen brother!!
I got one for you back!
โThe Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the Marine Corps!โ
@PersistentSeekr@Popehat Of course there are bad Marines. When I worked in the brig there was a bunch of them. I totally agree with you.
But 90% of the corps is made up of people who ultimately have each otherโs backs just because we earned that ega.
@JessCarpener I think this has taught me that friends and family are really what is important in life.
People and the experiences you have with them are what is important.
@Popehat Hahaha thatโs actually a good point. But admin bullshit has always entailed a lot of dumb ass training geared towards our individual mos and mission readiness.
Less so ideologically influenced policy being pushed into the very culture of our Corps.
@Popehat No, of course not. But just like a helicopter parent, there is a level of micromanagement that does more harm than good.
The Marine Corps is a place where all Marines are equal and judged upon their service. None of us want politicians telling us how to run our brotherhood.
@Popehat Of course the military isnโt weak or flabby (except for the Air Force), but the dumb ass diversity training every quarter is also ridiculous.
Both things can be true.
@Popehat Hey. Marine here.
I donโt speak for all Marines, but I know it seemed like the overwhelming opinion is that the diversity and inclusion missions are bullshit.
The Marine Corps doesnโt need it. We are all equal and included from basic. Thatโs what being a Marine means.
Governments claiming the authority to *freeze people's bank accounts* because they want to crush a protest movement is tyrannical and obscene. If you would oppose China or Russia doing it, you must oppose Canada doing it.
Very glad @CanCivLib exists.

The FBI seized nearly $1 million from Carl & Amy Nelsonโand never charged them with a crime.
To survive, they sold their house & car, liquidated retirement, and moved their family of 6 into Amy's sister's basement.
