Marines Post Racist Rants About Obama!

Show discipline.

The United States Marines is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea, using the mobility of the United States Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. It is one of seven uniformed services of the United States. The Marine Corps is a component of the United States Department of the Navy, often working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics; however, the Marine Corps is a separate branch.

The best of the best. There's a report about some active duty Marines going to the social networks to disrespect the president. The U.S. Secret Service is investigating those involved in threats to the president.

But since the conservative rancor (namely from The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall) over the president getting umbrella service and the latest outrage over the president not saluting a Marine some are posting racist outrage about it.

Of course, President Barack Obama doesn't disrespect military. He's the Commander and Chief of the United States Armed Forces. He overseas the lives of men and women who serve in the military. He is responsible for every mission that is carried by the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

He has the utmost respect for those serving. And no matter what the president does, conservatives will find some issue about it. And some conservative are enlisted in the military.

This bullshit is being read by members of our military. There are some Marines who felt that their Commander-and-Chief shows lack of respect for their service.

Guess who tipped of the conservative agitators?

Pres Obama boarded Marine One without returning salute of US Marine at the steps. The Pres then came back out to shake the Marine's hand.

Despite the constant mentions by President Barack Obama about our men and women serving in the military,  the numerous talk about seeing the injured and the American draped coffins, some of our military members are solely getting their news from the conservative agitators of talk radio and Loserville.

Well there's a report from USA Today about a few Marines posting on the social networks threatening Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-California) and President Barack Obama.

Wonder how the Marines got the notion to attack President Barack Obama? 

The congresswoman is leading a coalition of representatives to tackle military sexual assaults.

USA Today reports that this incident comes at a time when top military officers say they are facing a crisis of sexual harassment and abuse within the ranks.

Federal law enforcement officials are investigating a former Marine and several active-duty Marines after they allegedly posted threatening and lewd messages on social media sites that targeted President Obama and a California congresswoman, according to a government official informed of the investigations.

The former Marine was interviewed last week by the Secret Service for the threatening post against President Obama, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigations are ongoing.

The Secret Service does not discuss its protective actions, said spokesman George Ogilvie.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-California)

Investigators from the U.S. Capitol Police have been investigating several threatening posts against Speier, the Capitol Hill source said. Capitol Police do not comment on their investigations.


Several Marines also have been referred to their commanders for non-judicial punishment in recent months, said Marine Capt. Eric Flanagan, a spokesman. That punishment can range from raking leaves to loss of rank to dismissal from the service, he said.

The Marines have received complaints about a number of social media sites, Flanagan said, including the Facebook page F'N Wook, which prompted Speier, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, to write letters of complaint to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos. Facebook took down the page, but similar postings have been made elsewhere.

Some of the posts suggest female Marines achieved their rank by performing sex, another shows a female Marine on her knees with a snake being put in her mouth. A recent post about Speier refers to her in vulgar terms and accuses her of trampling First Amendment rights.

Speier was targeted after her letter called attention to the posts, and she spoke out about what top military officers have described as a crisis with sexual harassment and abuse in its ranks. The Pentagon estimates that there were 26,000 instances of sexual abuse in the military last year, an increase of 35% compared with 2010.

A series of military sex scandals in recent weeks has underscored the problem: an Air Force officer in charge of sex abuse prevention programs awaits trial for his alleged drunken groping of a woman in Arlington, Va., not far from his Pentagon office; an Army sergeant first class is being investigated for running an alleged prostitution operation at Fort Hood; and an Army non-commissioned officer has been charged for allegedly videotaping nude cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

On Friday, Obama told graduating midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy commencement in Annapolis, Md., that sexual assault and harassment had no part in today's military. Hagel expressed similar sentiments Saturday during the graduation ceremony at West Point.
