You're fine bro. There is no such thing as an ex-Marine, just former "Active duty/Reserve" Marines, who in this case is acting like an asshat. Former Marine is fine.
I did not make the comparison. I just commented on theirs.

I would like to see the historical data that says we ranked #1 in education. I'm not saying it does not exist, but I...
My argument is that it is not an apples to apples comparison.
while you may be true that the federal government may not be able to run it better, it can't be run worse than the petty lord/fiefdom system eye have now. Most of the poor results have to do with poor parenting.
It is funny how he glosses over a simple fact when comparing US education to these other countries.
Their education programs are federally managed and funded.
Nope. Just another box in the room. Congress already knows about us, it was part of the bill they passed.

Oh sting. But ironically enough you are the one who started the word definition wordplay, and somehow blamed it on me, while ignoring my logical question and attacking me personally. These actions seem to fit your above statement better than mine do.
It could be a cultural thing since i've seen Army salute without a cover but in the Marines we are not suppose to salute without a cover. I understand that presidents in the past have done it, that does not mean they were correct in doing so.
I'm explaining my culture for those who don't...
Not entirely true. Not acknowledging the salute is a breach of courtesy, but a salute is not required.
For example: While i was in uniform i saluted my CO and XO while they were in PT gear, but they did not not salute back. Instead they raised their hand and acknowledged that they saw the...
First question: Your congressman doesn't have to vote on DOD Instructions, they approved the Secretory of Defense, who appointed a Deputy Secretary of Defense who had this DOD Instructions drafted up.
Second question: These are not federal laws, they are guidelines for officers to follow, so...
I got into the Marines for "The High", "The Juice", all the power of the federal government behind me and at my fingertips.
However, right now I'm on duty at 0345, in the morning, trying to stay awake by sipping water and posting here. Same diff.
First of all, the DOD doesn't grant itself anything. These types of regulations are put into place by the elected civilian government of the United States. Second, i like how you forget about these parts:
d. The employment of Federal military forces to control civil disturbances shall only...
I would be interested in where this happened. I have done funeral detail at my unit many times and we don't go out unless we are officially invited. Almost all funeral homes know how to get hold of us, there is a form they fill out and get to us, and all the family has to do is ask the funeral...
Careful there, you almost got close to hurting my feelings. I'm not disputing the fact that the Cop hit and killed the guy, I'm disputing the idea that the Cop wanted to hit and kill the guy. The article is ****, get a better one.
I'm sure glade we live in a country where a man is assumed innocent until he is proven guilty, and is not convicted in a court of public opinion. The article is obviously slanted as to paint the cop as an evil murderer, and since I can't get the article to load i can only go by what is in the...
