You wanna know what’s really fucked up. I spent two years in Light Armored Infantry and three years in 1st Tank Bn, the other fifteen were in Combat Service Support or the Marine Corps Rifle Team. We had a few fatal training mishaps, and a handful of off duty deaths over those years, but my last unit in which I was a Civilian Marine, one of 288 Marines and CM’s, I had EIGHT friends and coworkers die after taking the COVID vaccination. EIGHT. Several others are permanently fucked up with partial paralysis and other assorted malaises. That pisses me off to no fucking end. One was a retired Sailor, the others were either retired or former Marines.
I’m fortunate that I was in a place financially that I was able to say fuck off when they kept trying to force the shot on us. Some damn good friends were not so fortunate.

Here’s to all who have perished one way or another while defending Freedom:
