About the United States Marine Corps:

The Marine Corps defends the people of the United States at home and abroad. Within every Marine is the willingness to engage and determination to defeat any adversary, and it is this fighting spirit that allows us to fight and win our Nation’s battles.

The mission of the United States Marine Corps is made up of three promises: We make Marines, we win our Nation’s battles, and we develop quality citizens prepared to fight and win battles.

You don’t join the Marines—you become one, forged in the crucible of training aboard our recruit depots on Parris Island, South Carolina, and in San Diego, California, or through the dedication required of officer candidates at Officer Candidates School in Quantico, Virginia. Beyond the physical requirements, aspiring Marines must prove they have the honor, courage, and commitment to face and defeat any obstacle.

Today, more than 180,000 enlisted Marines and 23,000 Marine Officers serve in active duty or reserve forces on bases and in communities around the world, proudly carrying with them the core values of the Marine Corps.

Let's get one thing straight...
Not everybody can become United States Marines.
We want the best and we will settle for nothing but the best because there is nothing prouder, nothing finer, nothing standing as straight as United States Marine.

The Chinese spy ballon that flew over the continental mainland for more than a week truly signifies what’s going to happen next. It doesn’t take a genius to understand what that means. Reconnaissance is a mission to obtain information by visual observation or other detection methods, about the activities and resources of an enemy.

I implore young men to avoid service in todays military. It’s a giant circle jerk and meat grinder, where none of the aspects of the warrior ethos are found. If you want to be a warrior, inculcate yourself with an indomitable will through accomplishing difficult challenges away from becoming a tool for a a country that has forsaken you. Love your fellow man but pursue martial, healthy hobbies. Legendary U.S. Marine and two time Medal of Honor recipient Smedley Butler said it best in his iconic “War is a Racket”,

“ Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our steel companies and our munitions makers and our ship-builders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted”

Semper Fi.

He was on shawn Ryan recently. And I used to like watching Ryan and his relatively wierd guests. But this guy made me painfully aware that Ryan will believe anything. I wanted to watch the rest to see if Shawn called him out but I couldn't listen to this guy jabber on about a bunch of shit he literally can't know
