Big fucking deal says I... As if a former Marine can't be an ignorant prick and called out for being an ignorant prick. He waves his service like a badge giving him the right to be an asshole. That makes him a Fascist. Another dude jumped my case and took me to task. He probably got pissed and took it personally... Which it was never meant to be. I don't think ANY title places a person above ridicule. Look... I've served in the Military and being a soldier doesn't make you a decent person. It just doesn't. It's a program adapted to. Well... What the fuck do you guys think? "I did something naughty again..."    Report

The right is yours my man... nothin butters my toast more than when the freedom that the Marine you spoke about is fighting for, is the very same freedom that he has no hessitation taking you to task on... but such as the state of our country...    Report

He thanked me for it and realized that he had only read enough to become irritated. I believe he took it as a shot at soldiers in general. I understood why he got hot over it, but the original person in question hasn't jumped up to stand his ground over his ignorant comments since. So it looks like everything is square on that front. Thanks, theism... And welcome to "Deleted Logic". "I did something naughty again..."    Report
