I couldn't decide if what I had was mixed with acid, gave me a flashback, or if x is just acidy by nature.
I didn't feel universal love. Compassion, yes, but I was decisive about people and things I didn't want to deal with. Even though I was exclusionary I still had sex with a very, very ugly woman. Good body since we were all young but she had one of those faces that you thought wasn't too bad until it would turn and look at you, and it was located on a sort of oversized head. It's not like she didn't know and I bet she's had a hard life. :( Skye was a 1 but she was a sweetie and I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
Thanks MDMA. ::)

Sounds like the infamous 29 Palms survey that was given about 20 years ago. Here's hoping that the 75% that said "no", start by shooting the 25% that said "yes"...

I would never, ever, ever, turn my weapon on a civilian. Unless said Civilian had his weapon trained on me first.
The thing is, I'm pretty sure that if it came to the Government turning the Marines loose on it's own citizens, they would try and disguise the action as something else so that the Marines would follow the orders..... telling them it's to keep the peace, or that a particular group has separated from the country and is using terrorist actions against other citizens.... that kind of crap.
And it's hard to say how long it would take before the Marines figured it out.... the control of the flow of information is a powerful thing.

Yup.

I would only shoot 25% of the marines.

You know what? 100% of soldiers would shoot anybody and everybody if ordered to.
Because they're soldiers. It's basically what they're paid for.
The inanity of this thread is beyond measure.

wrong.
Plenty of my fellow Marines would refuse an order to fire on their own citizens.

Even if they risk to be court-martial-ed? I don't share your optimism.

Court martialed? If you think that 25% of military personnel would fire on US citizens because of being afraid of being court martialed you are very much mistaken. Not a chance the number is that high.
-
It doesn't matter, they would just use drones to kill us remotely.

Lets be honest. The herd needs to be thinned.

I hope so. But history has proven many times an army could shot its own people if ordered to.
-
Well the good news is 75% wouldn't ;D

An army is useless if it does not do this. The threat of force is how governments, all governments, subjugate the populace. That threat can never be seen as hollow, or else anarchy (read: true representative government) would ensue.

Maybe thats why the chinese and russian troops are being brought into the USA.

Its not gonna happen. Kent state was a screwed up situation but to actively operate against US citizens in the way Infowars and those groups talk about just won't happen. I know I'd be off to whatever states are resisting DC to offer my service.

some ppl would shoot 100% of anything as long their skin colour is the "wrong" one, especially with a governmental order ;D
in society, force or threath thereof is a monopoly to the government.
if you knew full well a cop would never under any circumstances do harm to you, you would not "respect" his authority.
but in the real world, you will spread the cheecks by yourself in a frisk search.
the usa has violent historic background, some founding fathers had shooutouts with their own sons over political issues.
what you thinjk the army is there for?to take care of citiznes gardens?haha
-
100% of Marines would shoot Deca, and they should. :)

Agreed.
as far as the russian and chinese troops, when I was at SOI west, it was common to see forces from other countries cross training with our units, sharing tactics, ideas, and experiences. Although I do find it odd that wed be cross training with China, it wouldn't surprise me as the threat of war with China is low.
sometimes I also think they allow such things so that the chinese could get a glimpse of what they would ACTUALLY be getting into if they made the mistake of trying to fuck with us.

Sorry chief..not here. I've been in along time, besides some law enforcement ops, they're just not going to do it. Cops...yeah

True. We met with some Ruskies a few yrs after the collapse of the Soviet Union. During formal meetings not much was said, but after hours whem the booze was flowing they would open up and admit how much in awe of our technology they were. Hell they couldnt launch fighters from carriers at that point. They could freakin drink though.

I know how other countries view the US military, but trust me, the majority of the Marines I served with took their oath very seriously and would NEVER turn their rifles on law abiding citizens.
it was a pretty common topic in the squadbay, as most enlisted guys have a serious distrust of the US government. I cant speak for officers but most of the enlisted, especially the grunts (infantry) had already decided that they would refuse to fight if the government tried to use the Marines to subjugate their own citizens if they actually did try and make some sort of coup to usurp the constitution.
now, if the government found a way to make citizens become enemies of the constitution, and had a legitimate way to make us believe that killing citizens was necessary to preserve the freedoms and rights of the rest of our citizens, then i dont know what would happen. (For instance, dubbing certain citizens as terrorists bent on destroying our constitutional rights)

Actually I prefer trenbologna myself. Although ive been thinming that maybe I should add some deca in their, and keep the test HRT level, after alll, id hate to not follow my docs advice with my Watson test...
-
I suspect that 25% isn't or aren't combat arms folks. To be honest you have more minorities in support functions across the entire military and more whites in the combat arms with as schockwave mentioned, a healthy mistrust of the government. Under the current gov, I think people would be even quicker to bail on Obama.

I think you're right but in this day and age it would be hard to do
-
well how would you explain the american civil war then?
yeah times are different now.
currently reading a book of dick cheneys tricks and rumsfeld policies that were brought, and well, if this counts for anything, just went through a page were one american citizen was blasted away by a hellfire missile.
want the name of the guy?
but yeah the op is trying to spread fear 25% where does this number come from.thatd still mean 75% wouldnt do it.
-
You don't understand the Civil War then. Plus our military is vastly different then it was in 1861.

yeah the army guys and generals and even the cia are alright guys, its more socalled policy makers who never served a single day in the forcs(neither did their kids)who want the fame for what some generals and troops have accomplished.
many generals have called the socalled policy makers"throughoutly insane and nuts"
those same ppl later on became ceos of halyburton.shameless.
namely cheney, cofey black(the guy who wanted to cut off bin ladens head and deliver it on silver platter tot he usa)and rumsfeld.
clinton was no saint either, but he atleast had some check and balance policies in place.

Unfortunatly nobody can do what what KBR/Haliburton does..

yeah, you will always have the bottom 10% (in this case 25% apparently) the guys that will shoot anyone just for the thrill of the kill, or the guys that will follow any order without thinking, or the guys to scared to stand up for what they believe in.... those guys are going to do what their told no matter what.
-
Better examples are Katrina or the LA riots. The military did a great job in a tough situation. Plus we have alot of experience dealing with civilians and not just lighting folks up for no reason. If we're gonna start spraying it would be overseas and we just don't do that

We had a very high quality of life compared to the other branches. I felt sorry for the other branches at times.
It reminds me when I was in Africa and Bush and Condy were coming to give a speech, money and mosquito nets. It was a giant operation and Air Force, Army and Marines were there. I was in charge of all personnel showing up and leaving. (accountability) The Marines stayed in an old Aircraft hanger eating MREs. I don't remember where the Army stayed and us Air Force personnel stayed in a 4 star Hotel with 3 meals paid for and got per diem for it on top of it. Trust me, I felt really bad about that. It shouldn't be that way. I was there for a month. I shopped, hung out with Africans, and hung out. That was my last TDY in the Air Force.

When I was in A school we had all 4 branches and the Air Force example I used about carpet is a fact. I tell all young people if they want a career to go Air Force.
We used to say:
Get a Marine if you want it done right without much complaint
Get a soldier if you want it done, but a lot of bitching
Get an airmen if you want to do it yourself.
;D

I'm on a POst now run by the AF...they keep the gyms nice.

HA, somewhat truth.... but I dont know man, i seem to remember us bitching an awful lot.... just not to our superiors or at the time of the order. We bitched laterally while carrying out the order. :D
but yoire right, we did it and we did it RIGHT.

Saw a large group of marines being made to do some kind of human centipede style press up punishment outside the PX at camp Leatherneck. There would be a mutiny if our seniors tried that in the UK, let alone on ops.

Were they in a square formation, or did were they in a line with their feet on the guy shoulders at their six?
pretty typical.... shit sucks.
Being a Marine is like being in boot camp for an entire enlistment. Thats why were always so pissed off and ready to kill bodies at the drop of a pin.
-
In a line with feet on person behind them shoulders. Yeah, I noticed that uniform standards and haircuts were pretty rigid in the marines. No one seemed to be cutting about in non-issue kit apart from the MARSOC dudes we occasionally saw.
-
The Marines did a great job of issusing pretty good off the shelf kit. When I was in the Marines we could use alot of off the shelf stuff. The Army was horrible about that until Iraq...now I deploy with mostly all my own gear.

yeah, MARSOC dude are some bad mofos. Really any Recon Marines are, but MARSOC are the elite of the elite.

seems to me most of the gear queers were POGs.... we were issues pretty much everything we needed, some of my friends that saw combat said that they rarely ever wanted anything besides their issued gear... the optics we have now are killer, I loved the ACOG.

How do you guys do this- our Warrant Officers would rip us apart! Everything had to be Government Issue!
P.S. I even HAD to impersonate a Lieutenant Colonel (yes, successfully :D) to secure new boots!
-
The Army is alot looser, but they're cracking down. When I was in the Marines, it was a mountain/cold weather unit so we had to buy alot of stuff...or we got alot of cool shit from Natick labs to play with.

my buds said it depended a lot on which unit they were deploying with, some were much more strict than others. Some guys said they were allowed some freedom with their optics, especially before the ACOG became standard issue.
-
On my last tour in Iraq it was whatever u had. I like the ACOG..we could pretty much get whatever...those days are gone. I have an Eotech on my own m4

Silly Getbigger. They are Marines, not soldiers.
I have several close friends that are Marines and these guys are not mindless idiots who will shoot anyone and everyone. They do a damn good job considering the fact that the press and the government have made it almost impossible for them. These guys practically have to bring their lawyers with them now on deployments in case they have to shoot someone. Even if 25% of Marines would shoot Americans (which they wouldn't) I have faith that the other 75% would sort it out in no time flat.
-
100% of humans would shoot other humans to insure their own survival. Stupid thread.

Court martialed? If you think that 25% of military personnel would fire on US citizens because of being afraid of being court martialed you are very much mistaken. Not a chance the number is that high.
Well, you can think that again, sir. In fact, more than 50% of mariners are Hispanic origin or black, so how they would have any difficulties to shot Americans?
