What is this? A SINGLE HAIR SPRINGS FORTH ON THE BALLSACK OF THE US. MILITARY?! I can't hardly believe it. Because it's fake.
Lmao this is so blatantly fake
No general officer would ever speak to an elected official like this
You do know that the congress plays a big part in officer appointments, yes?
Lmao imagine believing this bullshit
Not for the Marines.. the Marines work directly for the President of the United States, not Congress.
Did you read what he said? I get that he's the commandant but that was highly eloquent language unbecoming of a US Marine.
Technically, all officers of the United States (which includes commissioned military officers) are an extension of Executive authority and thus "work for the President." They still have to be confirmed by the Senate (which I should have specified earlier) above the grade of O-4.
You're thinking of that "muh president's 9-1-1 force" bullshit we were fed in boot camp.
Oh, also should have mentioned UCMJ article 88:
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Did you think I was a clueless civilian?
t. POG-as-fuck Hollywood (former) Marine
