Do not let the dirt bags get you down so much 19Herr_Rapp86 believe it or not they have always been around every generation has them which just proves that when push comes to shove the people that are worth a damn do answer the call.

So what if some moron is proud of having been in prison? That just shows you that he is a piece of (not allowed on this forum) same for the people that are proud of not having a job.Maybe they seem like the majority but they are not in my experience most people I have met show a lot of respect for good values a lot of people do care about what happens in this country.I hear plenty of people talk about the cuts to NASA.I see a lot of young kids wanting to join the military.

I agree with admiring the deeds of previous generations but everyone looks at the WWII generation with rose tinted glasses they did great things but they had their fair share of problems look at how blacks where treated they fought for a country where they where really second class citizens Tuskegee Airmen officers in the US Army where not allowed to set one foot into any Officers Club and they did not have a segregated one to go to.

People ignore more or less the guys that fought in Korea and even more Vietnam we call WWII fighters the bravest yet men that fought in Vietnam spent nearly 180 day per year in combat compared to the average of 10 days per year I call the person that spent 180 days in combat damn brave if he was lucky enough to survive.

As a Marine you must not have hung out with too many of your fellow Marines(or you socialized with Marines having the same tastes surely you saw others in the barracks though) I take it my brother is a Marine Captain and some guys in his unit dress off duty in the manner that you dislike (short of the pants to knees) you cant always judge a book by its cover.In my experience in the USAF it was the same way some guys did their own thing off duty maybe they did not dress the way I dressed it did not make them bad people a man could wear a sharp 3 piece suit and still be a complete turd.
