What do
you see?

Jim's low opinion of the Marine Corps. To suggest a uniformed
Marine
would not show the proper respect to his CIC, demeans the
professionalism
of the entire corps.

You're off 180 degrees. That marine could teach the guy in the suit
a
lot about respect.

Well, one thing's for su The Marine has to salute him, but he
doesn't have to respect him. Maybe he was keeping that right fist
clenched to keep his middle finger from 'accidentally' popping out.

I think a good Marine would respect him too, no?

Why? I don't have a lot of respect for him, although I respect his
position and authority. A smart Marine can probably see what the guy
is trying to do to this country.

I didn't think personal opinion was an option once enlisted... Isn't
that part of the oath?
Nope. You can question any order. But you better pick carefully which
orders to question.

There better be a lot of people around you being tried for war crimes,
then they might let you out of the brig for refusing that order.

As I said you better be sure about the order you are questioning. And I was
taught that by my TI who was a former Frozen Chozen Marine. Had moved to
the AF as a trainer.
