MajGen Kennedy was my CO during my stint as recruiter (1997-2000) RS San Francisco. Major Kennedy then. Would have followed this guy anywhere. An outstanding leader of Marines.
Our job was to conduct warfare plan and Simple. Like General Kennedy said, people that we lost in Iraq weren't victims. Everyone that signed up to join the Marine Corps and to be in the infantry knew there could be a chance we could see combat, which meant we could loose our life. I got to 2/4 just before 9/11. I went on the Oki deployment and this one. I knew by choosing an infantry MOS, there was a chance not a high one when I joined, that I could see combat one day and guess what things happen. You may think it was for nothing, for us it was our job.
@@jdog4303 You might have signed up to be a mercenary. I, like most that I know, signed up to protect our country, which we now know was never at risk, and our leaders knew that the entire time.
I disagree with your assertion. I went through the Okinawa deployment as well as this deployment. We wanted to go. It was our job that we had been training for.

Several of them need to find a barbershop.
I agree.
And for what? So, our boys could die for nothing.
You couldnt be more wrong ever.. Marines die for eachother. They dont need a higher cause. That is the only cause.
Not a very informed remark sir.
@@Rustebadgeenlighten me. What did I fight for?

What happened to the Marine Corps regulation haircut? The Marines in uniform definitely don’t adhere to the zero to 3” hair length.
Really! A HOLE
Maybe some senior Lance Corporals? 🤣
and what was gained by sending our warriors to that shit hole? NOTHING!!!
You are ignorant and very uninformed ma'am.
I was in that pipeline! Almost went. Had got to bootcamp then got sick. Had I made it all the way through I would have probably died.
