Discussion Don’t fuck this up, 2/7

2.7k Upvotes

You have a job to do - I get it. This isn’t a referendum on the morality of current events, legality, or anything of the sort. You got the warno, and you might have to go do the job. This is what you signed up for.

That being said, if there’s a mother fucker in your fire team, squad, or platoon who has a hard-on about the idea of killing other Americans, don’t let them rile up anyone else, or make a decision that can’t be unmade.

Police your own, and remember your oath; especially that bit that specifies lawful orders. If you go, the whole world is going to see it if someone fucks this up, and all of us - Marines past, present, and future - will carry the weight of your actions. You’ll either show America why we trust Marines to do the right thing, or you’ll ruin our reputation forever with what might happen next.

I’m a GWOT vet. A lot of us carry things even today that stain our souls, that we wish we could have done differently. I can’t even imagine facing some of the choices we made, back here at home. You might have to face some of those choices.

Do the right thing, conduct yourselves as consummate professionals…

and don’t fuck this up.

On leave, went on a Coast Guard base to use the gym. Obviously, i’m in PT attire. I decided to hit athe CGX (their PX) but stopped dead in my tracks before going in realizing i’m in PT attire.

Some Coastie that was pumping gas yells out “ITS OKAY BRO YOU CAN GO IN! ITS THE COAST GUARD.” I started laughing and he’s like “I know, I got lifed out in Hawaii by a Marine for walking around the exchange in PT’s”.

The Corps really has us scared to walk around a store in shorts & t-shirt.
