many people dont know that
I was in an all-branches military technical school attending a party and was saying something like 'man i loving dont want to hang out with a goddamn marine' and a marine nearby bowed up and confronted me. I sort of calmly explained that I generally dislike marines because every time you meet a marine, you know they're a marine before you even know their name. I said I can't relate to someone whose whole identity is a service affiliation. I expected I'd get swung on, but the guy just sort of looked a little downtrodden and then i felt bad lol

i got drafted, 17-18 years ago.

kinda sucked that i had to put my plans on pause but actually i didnt know what i wanted to do anyway. Worked 10 months at a major hospital, nominally I was an office helper like photocopies and document shredding, but after a while I also got to help installing Microsoft Office 95 at the local govt building!

Had a colleague who was pretty cool for a 20-year old (he was 30+). All summer we drank wine in the server room, the coolest room in the building

Anyway, social work draft is good. Everyone should work for society in some way for a long time

Where the gently caress do you live, because I genuinely think a social draft system is a pretty good idea for contributing to society, building skills and developing relationships with people outside of your cohort.

Yeah, I know a couple of cool ex Marines, but there's definitely the ooh rah element. I'm also friends with a couple of West Point grads, and they say they and most of their friends are disenchanted lefties at this point.

I used to work as a bellhop with a retired Marine. He would walk up to naval officers and say "you know, the Marines are department of the Navy...the men's department." He'd say that to a loving admiral if he had the chance.

I was like this up until I went and actually fought in Iraq. My experience is the closer to front lines you are the more disenfranchised you are. Admin dorks in air conditioning in Kuwait love the corps. Grunts trying to find WMDs they know aren’t there are on the verge of mutiny. My job was to keep generators running in a small remote outpost and I was ready to commit war crimes at the drop of a hat.

They catch all the bullets and commit all the war crimes so the other branches can roll in and do all the real work later.

Yeah the only people who don't shut the gently caress up about the corps once they're out are either people who like killing or pogs

back when I worked at a gas station I had a shift manager who was young, stupid and in the national guard. He was shooting the poo poo with a customer one late night and found out said customer was in the Marines and just got back from Afghanistan.

ShiftManager asked what it was like over there and the guy simply said "I FOUND OUT GOD DOESNT GIVE A gently caress!" He began laughing madly as he left, shouting out "GOD DOESNT GIVE gently caress!!!" one more time as he walked out

Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.
