I would say it is definitely not worse. You mean 30 years ago when there were race riots in the barracks and the OOD had to be armed with a .45 compared to now? It is far better and the fact that every service chief gave unequivocal statements against racism showing the POTUS up for the idiot he is speaks volumes. I…

I worked at boot camp and during hygiene inspection we checked all new recruits for racist or gang tattoos. One idiot showed up with a swastika across his chest ...sent home immediately. I had one with white power on his knuckles but he insisted it was a youthful mistake and was willing to have them lazed off so we…

Also SLA Marshall “study” that showed few soldiers actually fired their weapons has been questioned. David Hackworth found he falsified or skewed his writing to match whatever thesis he wanted. He basically wanted to sell books.

Word. All my DIs were black or Hispanic. I had the honor of serving with some of the greatest and diverse group of humans I’ll ever know and the only reason I was exposed to them was because of my time in the service.

That seems contradictory to the point of his book On Killing. In the book he tried to warn us that military training has made it too easy for people to kill and urged more training in restraint. I kind of lost respect for the book when he equated shooting someone in the face with ejaculating on their face.

His real callsign is Chaos. Only people who don’t know him call him Mad Dog. He cares far more about the lives of service people than any of the other draft dodging sunshine patriots POTUS has surrounded himself with.

I sure as hell didn’t!

It’s Seven Days in May in reverse but Marines are still the heroes.

He was probably hoping for some kind of eyes wide shut orgy. The military did invent swinging after all.

I still have this on my car. I hope 45 sees it if he visits my base

It reminds me of other staffs under bad COs. After awhile you do your best not to protect or save the boss. You do your best because you don’t want the command itself to fail.

Hail Mattis! And he is really known as Chaos not Mad Dog like Trump calls him. How ironic.

Willie Nelson, KD Lang, Lyle Lovett, The Dixie Chicks, Woody Guthrie, et al would disagree with you lumping them into a political group I suspect.

They are starting to think the generals are part of the deep state resisting Trump. Thank God for St Mattis et al.

Did you get a CMP one? I’ve been wanting to pick one up since that’s what my father carried in WW2. I can remember a bunch with Korean writing on the stock being like $150 back in the 90s and thinking I’ll get one later. Then they disappeared and people all want $1000 for their Inlands.

I would like them to rescind the restrictions on importation of surplus WW2 rifles that we gave to ROK, Israel, etc. The prices for M1 Garands and M1 carbines are ridiculous. And they are antiques after all. Hardly popular with criminals or terrorists.

I prefer to be called golden.

Only place to go in Berkeley for hot dogs is Top Dog!!!!
