Friend got owned by a Marine

[QUOTE="import_fighter1"][QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="shaza91"]

It was lunch time and me and a few friends were standing behind this station where these Marines had come for the day and try to recruit. My friend, being the dumbass he is who craves attention, says "**** Marines" and "Marines are *****es". Just then a Marine recruiter who is in his uniform walks up to us and asks us if we were planning on joining the Marines. My freind then tells him that he already recruited to the Navy and that Navy was a lot better than the Marines. The Marines then walks up to his face and tells him that "the Navy is full of a bunch of ****ing over-glorified ****ies who don't hold a match to what the Marines go through". He then points to my friend's fat stomach and says that "he's in perfect shape for the Navy, but if he joined the Marines the only thing he could be useful for is as a mop for the **** covered tiolets". Before leaving he says that if my friend does join the Navy he "better bring a bottle of vasaline since he's going to spend months on a boat with a bunch of people who call themselves seamen".

After the Marine walks away and my friend looks like he's about to cry, I am literally cracking up for 5 minutes straight. But did the Marine take it too far, I mean he is in a school enviroment or did my friend deserve it.

MrGeezer

After all, they could have just kicked his ass.

To all of you that reply "they should have just kicked his ass", do you think marines or any other soldier in uniform has a license to go around kicking anyones ass that talks ****? If any of you had any kind of discipline whatsoever, including that Marine, you would know how to act professional in situations like that and still have the upper hand.. that Marine is just another disgrace to the men and women in uniform that are professional.. he was talking **** about another military branch and acting like a 12 year old would..

Oh, cry me a river. If the other dude was serious about joining the Navy, I'm sure they wouldn't have had to "own" him so. They only got hostile because your friend was intentionally trying to put them down. The point of his comments was not "I am really interested in joining the Navy", the point of his comments was "**** the marines."

And yes, I suppose that the marines COULD have acted more professionally. But they obviously did not HAVE to, and not acting more professionally apparently worked out just fine for them. So all in all, everyone wins.

NO all in all everyone doesn't win.. people like him are the disgrace of the armed forces and it's getting worse.. I don't expect you to understand discipline though..

and yes, when you are in uniform you are to act professional.. not like a 12 year old and diss on another armed force in front of a bunch of other civilians.. he can be repremanded for his actions..

It doesn't matter what your friend said to that Marine, that Marine is suppose to have discipline and not fall to those standards. That is totally unprofessional and he was just trying to act like a badass to a bunch of school kids like most of them do.. I'm an Army veteran and I seen plenty of this.. they are getting a load of undisciplined soldiers now that they will accept just about anyone right now.. the armed forces have lowered their standards drastically..

Also I want to add that he was mainly ripping on the Navy, not the kid. They bash other armed forces all the time. He's a Marine and he must have forgot that the Navy is his ride to wherever they get deployed so he is on the same ship as all those "seamen"..

ditto. it's not about going off on the kid. if that were the case, i'd be in jail for going off on all of teh dumb, selfish, and rude crap i see younger kids doing. i was also in the military and learned how to have a little patience and put up with annoying kids. i simply ignored them.

lol...I understasnd discipline fine. I also understand that at lewast for a LOOOONG time, the military has been largely recruiting UNDISCILPLINED NOBODIES who have no discipline and have no hope or prospects of advancing themselves other than by joining the military.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the military. But who does the military most interested in? They're often mostly interested in recruiting people with no jobs and no skjills who are never going to college. Those are the people who often have the most to gain by joining the military, and in many instances they tend to be UNDISCIPLINED.

Whatever, dude. Sure, you'll get reprimanded if you beat somebody up for saying something about your mother. Sure, you're supposed to be DISCIPLINED if some jerk ass ***** walks up to you and stasrts "dissing" your family in the most vile ways possible. If you end up smashing his ****ing face, that is illegal and it is very "wrong".

Doesn't mean I'm not gonna laugh my ass off when I see you bash his face in. Because even though it was wrong for you to do, and I am far too disciplined to do the same theing as you, he had it coming to him.

And yes, the TC's friend DID have it coming to him. All I see here is a jerk getting owned.

Would I have done the same thing as the marines? No. But they bested their enemy, and that's what I want our marines to do.

But he's NOT in jail, the kid DID get owned, therefore, the marines win.

I said it before and I'll say it again...it worked.

I don't care how "wrong" it was. Doesn't matter, because they got away with it. It's just like if you're a waiter and a customer is being an ass to you, so you spit in their soup and give them ebola.

Of course you're not "supposed" to do that, but if they deserve it and you get away with it, I fail to see a problem.

I think rivalries in the armed forces can vary as much as they do in the college sports world. I had plenty of friends from other branches of the military and we all gave respect to each other and every once in a while would crack a joke or two about which branch we served in. But in the end, my buddies and I would have never talked down on another branch like this Marine guy did. However, that doesn't mean that all Marines are like that. Anyway, back to the college sports world. I'm a big fan of the OU Sooners and they have a big rivarly with the UT Longhorns. Recently, a Longhorns fan walked into an OU Sooners bar in Oklahoma City and had his balls chopped off by a disgruntled OU fan. Does that mean every OU fan is like that? Not really. But you get the picture. This world is full of radicals, regardless of what purpose they think they serve.

Disgrace to humanity or not, my logic WINS, as has been demonstrated very clearly.

THEY BOTH ARE WRONG. The "Marine" should have been more professional and stood up like a Marine. Putting teenage kids in their place by going down to their level doesn't make him better---it just made him look like a jerk like the kid was. Sounded like two brats arguing, but instead one is wearing a marine uniform.

The kid deserved it. The Marine did nothing wrong. The Marines risk their lives to allow Americans live how we're used to, and then they have to put up with a bunch of little ignorant jackasses who think they know everything. I'm glad the Marine did what he could to put the kid in his place.Mumbles527

I agree that the kid deserved it, my arguement has nothing to do with that at all.. the Marine was dissing another armed force in front of a bunch of other civilians to put the kid down.. he was pretty much saying only the Marines do anything for this country.. if he wants to diss other armed forces to his buddies, thats up to him but to do that in front of and to other civilians is wrong and unprofessional.. he is wearing a Marine uniform and when in that uniform he is to act like a Marine, not a 12 year old.. when he takes off his uniform, he can be as childish as he wants for all I care..

what day was it when this whole thing happened?

He then points to my friend's fat stomach and says that "he's in perfect shape for the Navyshaza91

HAHAHAA Fatty Got OWNED

It was yesterday.

Yeah, it was fair. You friend provoked the Marines and they retaliated with nothing but the same words.

I take it you missed the whole point of the Marines being part of the Navy..

If he did deserve it, I don't think the marine was the best person to dish it out. It's setting a bad example. I always hear the Marines have the "most difficult training and are the most elite warriors in the world," from my mom's boyfriend who's a recently retired Staff Sergeant and a bunch of commercials.

If they don't gain a sense of self-discipline, then what's gained? Physical and mental sharpness? I'd rather stay a non-military guy and be humble than be like that and be The Best of The Best of The Best! Sir!

...anyways.....

Your friend was an a**, but the Marine wasn't setting a fantastic example.

Technically we are, yes. Thank you for that amazing observation. We can also be legally punished for having sex in any position other than missionary. The only real involvement Marines have with the Navy is during MEU deployments. But then again you know more about the Marine Corps than me, so I'm probably wrong...
