Very good man ... hope he doesn't get fired

is he'll get called into the office and dressed down for wearing his uniform while protesting, maybe some confinement to base for a few days.

Assuming he's not active duty anymore, that would be some means of denying him his pension/benefits, that sort of thing.

I would like to say 'no way that happens' ... but sadly ...

I am proud of him. But, he is the only one? Are there no protests in UT?

someone doing a little cosplay -

Yes, there was at least one protest in Utah...https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/6/2/21277840/protest-utah-george-floyd-salt-lake-city-police-brutality-riot-black-lives-matter-blm

...and as a Marine Corps brat who considers Parris Island to be her hometown ('59-'64, a very long stint on one base!)), it's hard to say just how deeply Todd Winn has moved me...

Thanks again!

I have trouble imagining that even the most dedicated cosplay type would bake in the 90 degree heat for three hours.

Reading about his shoes, I thought, That is taking your military discipline and using it to truly serve your countrymen.

The anti-quarantine protesters were protesting the loss of minor pleasures and privileges. I can't imagine any one of them suffering to protest their "suffering".

Unfortunately, I can imagine police meeting demonstrations against police brutality with more police brutality. 'Cause brutality is the point. (It sure ain't the cause of justice and social harmony.)

emotional. :gouphug:

Hat tip to a fellow Marine.

a hearty "Semper Fi!"

would just assume that it would go without saying.

But you're right, Semper Fidelis.

Have a great day fellow Devil Dog.

Given the current tenor of things and the fact the Corps, belatedly, banned any display of the Confederate flag and the fact that his message is not against the government per se, rather for the Constitutional construct of justice, I doubt he will see any official ramifications at all. And I would bet even if he is given some administrative punishment, he will wear that with the same pride he wears those medals and that uniform.

This is a great American.

Well done Marine

And was enlisted for 5 years. He has many comrades of every color, and cherishes their mutual enlistment & friendships.

I salute you sir!

Thank you for this!

Honestly, that might've been the most egregious example of them all.

A diminutive 11 year old kid, playing in a large, empty park w/an airsoft gun he'd found (not shooting it just waving it around a little), murdered in cold blood by a pig who should never have even been hired due to being fired from other cities. Just because someone called 911 and said 'there's a black person with a gun in the park'.

If you've ever seen the video, it's absolutely disgusting.

He just still owns the uniform. Good for him.

Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Semper Fi.

The military brass in the Pentagon are so upset with Trump. His divisive rhetoric is forcing the troops into a dangerous dilemma. Whether to follow orders or to follow their conscience. This should be sending a message!

I’m simply an old Marine Corps BRAT gal, but I still say “Yes sir” or “Yes m’am” to all I meet, and I still “police the yard” and “dump the GI can” on a timely schedule!!
