So, I happen to know a few people that are marines. They don't like killing and are generally very agreeable.
If you aren't on the extensive list of people who 'need to die' in the 'national interest'
Would you like to meet one?
Have enough combat vet friends myself. Mostly Vietnam gen. They 'get it'. The cooks and clerks? Well they STILL want to 'kill gooks' and think my 60s antiwar activities were 'traitorous' despite the fact that they fought for my right to do just that. The ones coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan are SERIOUSLY fucked up and on medications or busy being junkies/alcoholics. Hopefully they'll 'get it' before their psychological traumas kill them. Maybe your Marine buddies would like to meet Scott Olsen? The 'enemy' couldn't kill him but the Oakland police department almost did. http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2014/03/21/oakland-to-pay-4...
