Can't we set a higher standard in our threads?
I continue to see threads calling derisive names, insults to/at people and their families, gripes about people when the issues are part of all of government. I believe a lot of people read these remarks and they reflect on the United States Marine Corps and I'm saddened.
I believe the United States Marine Corps reflects the best that this country has to offer. And we should try to uphold this honor with our actions on and off the battlefield. Can we try to identify what actions we dislike, why we dislike them, and propose actions that can improve the situation rather than just be negative and abusive in our opinions?
Am I alone in feeling this way, I hope not.
I'm very proud to have served! The Marine Corps helped me become the person I am today and I feel I owe the USMC the respect that it deserves!
Semper Fi!
