What the hell is wrong with my beloved Corps?

Just as a warning: this is going to be one lnog bitch and moan fest. Sorry.

So I'm back at my old Unit now from the Provost Marshall's Office and I'm trying to get into the swing of things. After just a few days I see several things that have disturbed me.

Half the unit is deployed to Iraq. What does this mean? The Officer in Charge of my unit is a motherfucking Lieutenant. Yes you read that right, the man in charge of my entire unit has been in about as long as I have and has the misfourtune of belonging to the second dumbest group of people in the Corps (right after the Lance Corporal). The only wall to hold back the tide of The Pack of Lieutenants is one Chief Warrant Officer and a few Staff NCOs.

Of course the critical thinking and problem solving skills of The Lieutenants has lead to Marines being charged with a cross section of diffent things in an effort to keep the masses in line and demonstrate the unwarvering draconian leadership principles of true military officers. Oorah. The one that really caught my eye was the NCO that is being charged with Fraternization. I don;t have the whole story and would just hate to jump to conclusions but the jist of the matter seems to be that an NCO invited some members of his work section over to his house for a social occasion (read: drink beer). Now everyhting was just great unitl another Marine (belonging to THE dumbest group in the Marine Corps) pulls a knife because she's a stupid drunken whore that can't handle her booze (or so I hear). So what happens when this comes out? The NCO is charged with fraternization because he failed to invite his ENTIRE work section over hence he, is playing favorites.

What does this tell me about my Officers and their expectations and leadership? It tells me that they have no concept of how their own Marines live, they don't understand unit cohesion, they are hypocrites, and that they have so little trust in the leadership abilities of their NCOs that they don't think they even have to ability to be professional and fair in the case of their junior Marines. This tells me that instead of being leaders they want to "make examples" (direct quote) out of Marines. Of course they want ot make it clear that there is alot more where that came from.

If I were fucking my Lt in the ass after work to get out of PT or skip out on work to drink with my Sgt then thats what those rules and Orders are there for. Not because of this stupid shit.

I had an entire other topic I was going ot get into but I have to clean my room for inspection tomorrow and dammit, I need to get it done. Later.

Oh, one more thing, I have to get to tgetting so I'm not going to proof read or spellcheck so fuck you ahead of time, eh?
