Discussion: 2 Marines Investigated For Posting Threat To Shoot Up Gay Bar After Orlando

That’s what you get for thinking Internet privacy is private. As a friend said after a mutual acquaintance was indiscreet online, "It’s called the World Wide Web."

Egads, our military, our Vets. Thankfully, the majority serve and respect the diversity and pluralism in our country. Screening records is definitely important to know who will serve and protect.

They’re heroes. Go to any sporting contest. You’re commanded to stand a half dozen times during the course of the contest and applaud various groups of them seated here and there. They are trotted out at halftime. Pre-game. Post-game. In the parking lot. Everybody clap!!

Slap on the wrist. Like they tell me everywhere I go, they’re heroes.

Exactly, we’re practically told to worship these fiends just because they joined the military.
It’s not a tiny minority either, quite a large percentage of Marines are goons like these freaks.
Protecting our Freedoms! Thank you for your service! What jingoistic bullshit.

“The post appeared on Camp MENdleton resale, a private Facebook group for male Marines”. Nothing gay about that.

Every time I see an article telling of how someone posted something that got them into trouble I just shake my head. I cannot fathom why people continue to do it. How many stories similar to this one is it going to take before it’s ingrained in the brain. “hmmm…posting this is probably going to get me into trouble, better not.” I mean WTF?! How stupid do you have to be? These types of stories are everywhere these days. Hopefully it was a joke, a joke in very bad taste if it was, but hopefully they didn’t truly mean to do harm. Hopefully.

Most enlistees can’t get a job anywhere else. The standards have been lowered to the point that the Marines would take any ISIS volunteer. (There are exceptions and this is not meant to be a broad criticism of Marines in general).

It would be one thing if the enlistee is exposed to good citizenship. Instead, it is about the war tribe. Then, when they are let go (for whatever reason) we expend little or no effort or resources to transition them to the real tribe, the US. Instead we ensure they will continue their war skills in the local police force, leading to the expected.
