I know 3 fellas that are stationed in Iraq and they are in infantry, and they say alot of fucked up shit goes on that they just look the other way with.
Actually I found that our chain of command cared for us a great deal. They were soldiers just like us with families. So when you put out there the impression that our command doesnâ??t care for us and that our lives are viewed somehow expendable than you would be wrong.

No most Marines arenâ??t like that. Most are honest and dedicated individuals. They are not blood thirsty animals. Usually they have a fair amount of self-confidence and like to get rowdy when they drink. But they are for the most part very solid individuals and deserve the respect of their country.

Yes, a lot of fucked up shit goes on. ITâ?ťS WAR. Donâ??t talk to me about fairness unless youâ??re willing to apply that concept across the board.

The few the proud my ass, more like the few the brainwashed.
You might see some low ranking individuals who saw it as a way to get a free ride. But you donâ??t see Marines who are past their first enlistment who are fuck ups.

And even those on their first enlistment are usually squared away. There may be however pockets of infestation (as in the case with your friends )
likemclever Reviewed by likemclever on . The Army What do people here think of the army? Has anyone been in the army before of thinking about joining. I personally couldn't see what anyone would want to (in the UK) because you have to go for at least quite a long amount of time at least 20 something years its just like another version of prison but worse.
