Oh, please...there are Marines and then there are Marines.
The kind of Marines I knew in 'Nam didn't give a rat's ass about dress codes, and had contempt for those that valued pretty uniforms over fighting skills: barracks Marines who never actually fought.
Combat Marines then and now put more value in how well you fought than in how well you dressed.
Peacetime Marines, Marines who've never seen combat, and dress Marines who march well and look pretty all value the "look", but they'd never get the respect of the filthy, grungy, out-of-dress-code Gyrenes who fought and bled and died in 'Nam.
This guy is brother to them, and me, even though I was USAF: we shared the same dangers of rockets, rpgs, snipers, booby traps, and mortars fighting in stupid-ass wars that no one understood, no one wanted, and that made no sense.
I salute him for honoring his oath to defend the Constitution and the people "against all enemies foreign and domestic". When the police harm the citizens they have sworn to protect, they have become a domestic enemy.edit on 17-10-2011 by apacheman because: (no reason given)

Are you talking about the lady who we later found out he was a guy? You talk as though the demonstrators are perfect angels, and cannot do no wrong. The demonstrators are provoking the police! You don’t see that? There is a thing called “personal space”! The demonstrators are crossing it!

When they the Police go around knocking out females, for no reason what so ever do you blame others on ATS for stating as such? Really grow up and get a clue!

As a former Marine, this guy is completely out of regulations, not just in small ways, but in really huge NASTY ways. NO self-respecting active duty Marine would dare go in public looking like this.
If by some off chance he IS a former Marine, he shames his Corps by the fact that he appeared so sloppily and attempted to speak on behalf of the Marine Corps, which he would never be allowed to do as an active duty Marine. I'm baffled that any former Marine would do this...

So funny to see those tiny little men with guns looking ashamed to be confronting the demonstrators.
Quite moving actually.
I'm also surprised they didn't just rush him and take him down.

You should be accurate 100% of the time here. These boards have been overrun with saboteurs and trolls.

How can you assume that all the cops on Wall Street are terrorists, rapists, murderers, child molesters, sickos, perverts, etc.
Not a single person said anything of that nature in this thread.
Certainly didn’t say anything good. I should have been more specific…
You think? So a matter of lying or not is simply a matter of being more or less specific? Maybe you should specifically stop making up crap.
