    That was NOT my introduction to Mike Co, 3051 in 1998. There was no talk of "compassion." It was only "This is our job..." and "You will fall in line." It was a shit storm after a few days of sleep deprivation during receiving. Three months of my life that taught me the virtues of humility and perseverance.

    After all that hype and inculcation, a discharged Marine will find that his DD 214 and five dollars might get him a latte at Starbucks. Mortarmen and platoon leaders are not in much demand in the civilian world.

    Whoever mentions his color or ethnicity doesn’t understand being a Marine. So sad.
