When I signed up for the Marines in ’78, I had no clue what I was getting into. I just wanted to get out of my hometown. After a few minutes at bootcamp, I wanted to go back.
It was too late.
There was only way out now: 13 weeks through a humid, swampy, mosquito-infested chunk of Hell at Parris Island, S.C. – a God-forsaken place where tidal salt marshes breed habitats of pestiferous biting flies. The worst? Blood-sucking sand fleas.
Around 1 a.m., the bus carrying about 60 of us parked beside a platoon of yellow footprints at the recruit depot.

It’s all part of the master plan to destroy America. The military was just the last bridge that had to be burned to make it possible.

Not necessarily a condemnation of the Marines but more importantly of the PC rot that has infected the military with females in the combat specialties. SecNav Mabus comes in for some serious approbation and as I recall he was a moron.

In the 70's and 80's the blacks in the military were beyond criticism. Woe be to any officer that tried to correct one for anything but the most felonious offense. By the 1990's it was women. They played their sexual harassment card so frequently it was far better to just ignore them, knowing they would get pregnant and get out early anyway. I asterisk that with the confession that I did serve with some truly great, patriotic women and am still friends with several to this day. But the worthless ones could and did ruin careers with their tantrums and tears.
Some time after I retired the untouchables became the gays. I'm glad I wasn't there for that.

Woke politics destroys everything it touches... Just like everything else the left touches... schools, movies, society, etc.

FTA: “ If America continues down this road, he said, “it would destroy the Marine Corps. Something no enemy has been able to do in over 200 years.”
This is the intention of democrats. They destroy. They especially enjoy destroying anything that strengthens the country. Men are a high value target for their evil intentions. They have pretty much destroyed the function of males in our society. Do you ever see a manly democrat? They, for the most part, are very feminized. They are an embarrassment to their sex. The Marines are a particularly desirous group to turn into something less than the warriors they have always been.
Nothing is safe from the democrat compulsion to destroy anything that represents who we are as a people. They hate this country, its founding principles, rugged individualism, and most of all anyone who loves this country and our way of life. They hate freedom and self-determination. They hate God and anyone who believes in Him. What many of us fail to understand is that they not only hate who and what we are, they want to destroy us. God help us if we allow it.

I would predict that all branches of our military are populated with officers, of all ranks, that would order an attack on American civilians. That is the secondary purpose of the woke agenda. Whether the rank and file would consent to follow those orders is fast becoming a question mark.
Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, my Army is no longer the Army of today.

There were mornings at Camp LeJeune when after PT I would stand outside my regimental headquarters and watch the II MEF headquarters conduct their weekly PT run. At the front would be the CG leading his staff at about 1 mile into the run and then about 10 minutes later groups of stragglers who could not keep up with the would come along at a walk or slow jog- every one was a Woman Marine.

One of my USMC nephews will be hitting terminal leave this month. To quote him, "It breaks my heart what has happened to my Corp".
I'll be happy to have him back around and away from what they have done to him in the last couple of years. He learned a lot of great things from the Corps, but lately.....things have been falling apart, senior leadership is too much about "me" and about politics, not warfighting and honor, and country.

It was the equal rights thing, but it was also sending our military on peacekeeping missions and to handle and clean up things after hurricanes, mud slides, fires, and tornadoes all over the world.
