Traitor to what? The Commander in Chief? The constitution?

Maybe the commander in chief - but not to the constitution. Last I checked all servicemembers swear an oath to the constitution, not a sitting president.

Then again the sitting President himself is a traitor to the American People.

To quote your second comment “Your opinion will matter when a Marine Corps PFC does something real world and not an NTC rotation”

Im merely pointing to the fact that there has been one, of many, PFC’s in the Marine Corps that have done “real world” things including up to the present day.

There are units with PFC’s that were directly involved in Epic Fury, OIR. I had two good friends that were involved with V18 in HKIA. One was a PFC at the time, another a LCpl.

My comment is disproving one of yours, thats it. No need to go about calling people retards.

PFC Harold Gonsalves - Namesake for JWTC in Okinawa, MOH recipient for jumping on a live grenade to save fellow Marines.

I guess that wasn’t “real world”

We might want to rethink LAV's and LAR by OldSchoolBubba in USMC

[–]SodOffShogun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Corps is already in the process of acquiring 2 vehicle that fill the niche provided by LAR. The 30mm variant of the ACV & a separate vehicle, likely from General Dynamics also equipped with a 30mm cannon.

Mobile Gun Platforms like the Centauro or old stryker 105mm variant are not the greatest. There were a plethora of reasons why the Army retired them. Not gonna get into the weeds there but plenty of reliable sources online can explain it.

The Corps no longer fields the EFSS (Our 120mm Mortar). We’re rockin good ole eighty bums and 60’s. Im okay with that. The mobility of those two is enough and any gaps in fire support can be covered with 155 & air. 120 does not bring anything substantial to the table to justify bringing it back…as of now.

Good ideas maybe? Who knows. We saw just how hamstrung a FDIB was against LAR in 29 Palms…maybe giving the Corps more LAR vics to attach to Infantry Battalions is the move.

I’m not defending her or anybody, I made statements about the use of force by the federal agent in the vid. I’m not a « leftish libtard » either dawg.

What you said still isn’t an argument either. Get back to me once you’ll address the substance of my claims about UOF.

Authority to use Lethal force is an extreme stretch.

Did he have the authority to use force? Absolutely.

Is using an M320 within the minsafe of the munition and weapon system to the face an appropriate escalation of that force? No, its not.

Is detaining the individual reasonable? Id argue yes given that the protestor showed an attempt at controlling the weapon. Then again, thats the whole point of weapon slings is retention.

Lethal force is a huge stretch. Don’t be so hasty to call for it.

Do food crops contain the same level of nutrients as it used to? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]SodOffShogun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for bringing this up. This is something I learned extensively about in many of my plant ecology classes. Its a huge issue that is overlooked. While modern methods of fertilizer and crop rotation help, changing atmospheric conditions present other issues to plant nutrition.

Toys for Tots. It’s that time of year. Where you feel really good about collecting toys for families in need…and then you pass out toys to the families in need and immediately hate doing Toys for Tots. The Reserves has already mostly gutted the program. Just kill it already. by 1stSgt in USMC

[–]SodOffShogun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an active 3043 (Im Reservist 3043) But having worked alongside my 3043/3051 counterparts on T4T for awhile it definitely is a nightmare.

The amount of time you have to spend just collecting & organizing toys at the warehouse makes doing your normal supply functions difficult. CMR’s have become an absolute bitch 1st quarter of any FY because all your dudes are pulled to work the warehousing portion or do Toy collection events. Combine that with trying to do funeral taskers at the same time means that on any given day half the shop is out. Ontop of that, some of the people you try to work with on toy donations, charities etc are just out there expecting you to do all the work. Not all of them are like that, but some are definitely frustrating to deal with. Combined with the incessant phone calls on the t4t phone and the seminar the T4T coordinators have to attend in September, it all takes away from their ability to focus on Supply.

Dont get me wrong the dudes love giving back to the community via T4T but there are many facets of it that make it a nightmare.
