Holy crap! That dude is ticked. Pretty sad to read.

BTW, if you were wondering, he used F**ck 10 times in that. By my meter that equals PISSED.

Wow! I heard of us cutting corners a few times when I was still on AD, but I never remember it being THAT bad! He must have been in Harriers or working on the Osprey to have lost that many Bud's! If that was really his life, I guess I can't fault him for the letter! If it's real, to all of them.

Damn. I hope someone with stars on their shoulders reads this and takes action. As for the author-I would be interested to hear IF/WHAT he said to his CO before he ops out.

Because I know nothing about the day to day business of the Marine Corps, I emailed my Dad the link and this is what he had to say:

SOUNDS LIKE HE'S A LITTLE STRESSED. SAME OLD STORY. DON'T THINK THIS DIDN'T GO ON WHEN I WAS IN "THE SUCK", BECAUSE IT DID. THIS GUY NEEDS TO GET A PAIR AND EITHER WHISTLE BLOW OR GET THE F!@#$%G PLANES IN THE AIR... WE ARE FIGHTING A MOTHER F!@#$%G WAR! IF THIS SOUNDS HEARTLESS, IT IS; I BELIEVE VERY LITTLE THIS GUY IS SAYING. IF IT WERE TRUE, PLANES WOULD BE DROPPING OUT OF THE SKY DAILY. I HATE MOTHER F!@#$%S THAT TALK S#$T ABOUT THE CORPS.

SEMPER FI

My Dad served 20 years in the Corps, served in Desert Storm/Shield & Somolia.

Sad to read, he deserves better, even if it's only his opinion.

This is soooo made up.....

If you ever get the time, read the "Dear Boss" letter. Its amazing how little has changed (or how the pendulum swings) in the AF from the early 70s to now.

Yeah read this recently, might've been here even. Pretty sure it was debunked.
