The idea that going against the grain in itself is a virtue is very flawed. If 9 out of 10 people agree drinking bleach is bad, you’re not a free thinker by drinking bleach, you’re a fucking dumbass.
An authoritarian police state on the brink of a civil war with the worst unemployment since the Great Depression being ravaged by a viral pandemic is kind of what everyone was afraid of about with electing Trump, but none of us actually thought would happen
Nothing like a global crisis to bring out peoples true colors. There’s no excuse for the flagrant racism that Asian people have experienced in this pandemic. I don’t care where or when this guy served, he’s a piece of shit.
Everyone acts like they hate Cheesecake Factory on the internet, but that place is packed every night with a 90 minute wait. Some of y'all are lying. 💅
Absolutely every person in America should be outraged that the police sat around for 45 minutes while children were being slaughtered. If the “good guy with a gun” isn’t going to do shit, people need to stop pretending that’s a valid solution to anything.
So there's a lot of misinformation flying around about both VP candidates and their military records. I'm going to try to break them down here for those of you not familiar with how military service works. (I am a Marine veteran myself)
Without being petty, both of these individuals were honorably discharged and did what was asked of them. I hope this clears things up a little bit for people parsing through this dumpster-fire website for information.
Seeing a lot of "you're a pussy if you get the COVID vaccine" responses today. Weird take since it's obviously the total opposite.
Who is the bigger pussy?
The person willing to try a hastily tested vaccine for the betterment of mankind?
...Or the person that's scared of it?
I think Justin Bieber is an easy target to hate for boomers and shit, but I really think his life is probably one of the most interesting stories of all time. He became extremely famous and wealthy very young, I find the whole thing really intriguing.
It's okay to admit that Trump was an insane shit show and Biden has completely fucked up this withdrawal from Afghanistan. Partisan hackery need not apply.
I know some people think I overreacted to this and even I was frustrated seeing this story pop up again, but I’ll tell you something: while I still get hundreds of pictures and videos of Marines doing dumb shit every day, not one of them has been racist or antisemitic since.
As a guy who’s had grown-ass sweaty men scream in his face for wearing a hat inside, being required to wear a face mask at Trader Joe’s really isn’t a big deal
It is with great sorrow that I have to say goodbye to dog Charlie. I got him when I was 21 years old in Hawaii and he's been by my side ever since. At nearly 16 years old, he gave me everything he had, and he simply had nothing left to give.
Rest in peace, Charlie.

Sure Game of Thrones is cool, but what if I told you there was a movie where Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey saved the world from a dragon apocalypse 17 years ago?
These protesters have it all wrong. All you have to do is be white, armed, dress like value menu SpecOps, and the police will basically let you do fucking anything
The main accusation against Walz is that he "abandoned" his unit by retiring before they went to Iraq. As a Marine who deployed to Iraq twice myself, I find this dubious at best. The guy was well-past his retirement by that point.
How the fuck has wearing a mask turned into a partisan political thing? It’s an upper respiratory viral pandemic you dipshits it’s common sense to wear a fucking mask
For the record I also don’t care how many bearded vet bros with 3 followers slide into my DM’s to call me antisemetic names or a puss or whatever. Understand I have a zero tolerance policy on Nazi shit. If you have a problem with that, I encourage you to fuck yourself.
Most of the Marines enlisting today were not alive during 9/11 in 2001, which was an event that defined my entire generation and wars that followed. We've said never forget for 19 years, but maybe now it's time to start teaching to never repeat our mistakes.
Every time literally anything changes in the Marine Corps:
Marines: ok whatever
Veterans (who are 100% unaffected): THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THE END OF THE CORPS WAY TOO PC NOW AINT MY CORPS
I was stationed at Al-Asad air base in 2009 during my second deployment to Iraq. It’s huge and sprawling. Wishing all of our service men and women safety.
SO HE’S NAMED SOLID SNAKE AND HE’S ONE OF THREE CLONES THAT WERE MADE IN THE LES ENFANT TERRIBLES PROJECT. LIQUID IS BRITISH AND SOLIDUS USED TO BE PRESIDENT BUT NOW—
The
#TransMilitaryBan
is done for no other reason than to appease ignorance in the name of military effectiveness. There is no tactical, logical, moral or ethical reason to keep trans people from serving in the military.
My toddler’s daycare asked if any parents were veterans to talk to the 4 year olds about Veterans Day and our service.
Time for one of those Fallujah “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” videos!
As a Marine Iraq war veteran, I just want to say that my status as a Marine Iraq war veteran gives me absolutely no authority or higher insight on what patriotism means to you or anyone else.
I’m also a veteran, earned my GI Bill by deploying to Iraq twice with the Marine Corps infantry, but would love to see all Americans have their student debt forgiven because the system is fundamentally broken and I’m not a psychopath.
I grew up in poverty in the mountains of NC. I ate out of a garden, lived in government housing, shopped at yard sales. I joined the Air Force. Earned my GI BILL. I attained 4 degrees and created my own version of the American Dream. I am not responsible for your student debt.
PSA: I got my vaccine from the VA, which is offering vaccines to all veterans with no age restrictions. Mega chill, tons of veterans there alongside me getting it. If you’re enrolled in the VA healthcare system, go get your vaccine!
Wife: what is “Libo”
Me: liberty—when Marines are off for the weekend or whatever
Wife: but liberty doesn’t have an O in it
Me: I know...
Wife: Max half the things you say to me don’t make any sense
When I was enlisted in 2006-2010 it was actually considered criminal to be gay in the military. Dumb fucking people were convinced that repealing don’t ask don’t tell would destroy the military. In 2019 seeing this dumb shit makes me really happy.
I took both of these photos of Tyler Cone and Daniel Cameron in Iraq in 2007. Both of them are no longer with us today. I like to think that they’re standing post together today in heaven, cursing the day they enlisted.
#MemorialDay
I just want everyone to know that if you went and cleaned shelves of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, lysol wipes, etc., to resell them for dumb profit in the midst of a viral pandemic…
…You are a piece of shit.
The funniest part about the “alpha male bootcamp experience” is that bootcamp is like the least important part of your enlistment after the first year. Once you come back from a deployment, bootcamp stories are considered cringe as hell.
Max's Terminal Lance was and remains to be one of the funnier content about the Marine Corps. Sad to see him go down the path of fucking his people over.
#BlueFalcon
The military transgender ban introduced by the Trump admin was an arbitrary and backward disgrace. Removing this is the right thing to do to make us a better nation.
Avatar (2009) does not get praised enough for its realistic portrayal of US Marines. It's literally about a Marine who goes to another planet and fucks an alien.
Inside Out, but it’s inside a combat veteran’s head and he lost 4 buddies in Afghanistan, he can’t stop drinking, and his wife left him after years of personal failures.
It’s a horror movie.
True story: while my wife was in labor, I mentioned to her doctor I was a Marine veteran.
She said she’s dating a guy in the Navy, which she said is “similar, but he eats less crayons.”
what if there was a movie where the main character was a veteran and he was just a healthy well-rounded person and it never really came up because it wasn't relevant to the plot
I think people think the active duty military has very strong political opinions but really they’re mostly just daydreaming about going on libo before 1800 to get drunk
I’m gonna start my own veteran org but without any initiation, fee, dumb fucking hat, badges or pins, etc. Basically we’re just gonna get together in someone’s basement and play Smash Bros and drink on Thursday nights.
Huge props to the US administration for bluntly and nakedly calling out every move and every ounce of Russian bullshit over the last few weeks, and huge fuck you to everyone that spent the last few weeks buying into Russia’s propaganda and lies.
Seb Gorka: “I’m not a Marine, but I know the Marines....Jim Mattis is no Marine.”
@MarineCorpsU
hired Gorka to teach Marine officers. Hope this article produces some soul searching.
My neighbor just told me he’s an adult film actor and the only thing I could think to say was “yeah I was in the Marines so I’m pretty familiar with stuff like that”
