    Having extensive contact with many marines throughout my entire life, I dont think most of you are giving enough credit to the more open-minded members of our armed services. But most marines are indeed similar to the one in the first post, though that atittude will often change as they get older.

    I think what most of you are looking for, calling brainwshing, or saying dosent exist, is one common element among all members of the millatary. It is this: That they are all sworn to go to war, even if they dont agree with the polotics behind the desision.

    Dont take my word for it. ask a serviceman( or woman). They will all say it. it is their defining characteristic above all others, though an obviously flawed one.

    And just look what happens to the brave few in Iraq who broke with this belief and refused to serve any longer. It all comes down to "just following orders, sir." Its not (usually) seen as an excuse for torture, but for justifying one's place in a war it does just fine.

    keep fighting ignorance, brothers and sisters.

    Neither have I. We sold our old house to a marine and he claimed that I cussed him out and whatnot to my dad... he was always on pills and claiming things like that.

    I can sympathize with BOTH side of this. ( I know. My spelling sucks.)

    I was in the Marine corps. I'm a Hippy. I like to THANK the men & women based here at Nellis, and Every Uniformed Marine I see on the street. For, Helping defend MY right to BE a Hippy! I agree that Marine had no RIGHT to yell at you. As a Marine, He should have had more respect for a civillian!

    wow, so you all think ALL Marines are dicks, assholes, brainwashed to kill, blah blah blah. Whatever! I read pretty much all the posts so far and I think most or all who have bashed a serviceman are talking about ONE SINGLE INDIVIDUAL and you are going to base the rest of the men and women serving on this one single person, you're all retarded. I'm not saying I agree with war or agree with our reasons in Iraq at this moment. We're not brainwashed to kill, I will agree with brainwashed to react and obey to direct orders. Ever heard of rules of engagement? No one is just walking up on peole over there and poppin off rounds until they have been fired upon first.
    I work in a shop full of Marines that are layed back, we come across other fellow Marines who what we call MOTARD or motivated retard, and think man this dude needs to chill out. Oh you should meet my Gunny, the man who is in charge of us, he is a self proclaimed hippie. Anyhoo I'm outty

    P.s. go wash your stinky birkenstocks hippies, hehe

    This is the psycholligy(propably spelled it wrong) of the Marine training

    They break the soldier. They let them forget who they are. They tell him he is a cocksucking maggot. They break their minds untill they have absolutely no own will, opinion or mind.
    Then begins the reshaping. The drillinstructors form their minds into killingmachines with lies.
    Marines are much like trained dogs. Or just drones.

    But I respect the fact that they are so brave when their lives are in danger. Wheter it is for a good or a bad cause.

    I sympathize with marines in that they are, for better or worse, human beings, full of frailties. There's a way to the heart of every man, and it's got nothing to do with apple pie.

    However, war is a paradox. Bravery is living the life you believe in and facing the consequences. If you don't believe in peace and live it, despite the fact that you might be utterly destroyed, you're a coward. You aren't truly defending the life you claim to believe in, because you don't have the guts to live that life. Our president doesn't have the guts to lead by peaceful example, and the majority of our nation supports him out of fear for their own lives.

    Actually, just for the record, US marines are not the best.

    This is actually a dumb threat since far more rednecks and cops have a far more negative view of hippies.
