So, now this asshole is saying that he wishes that he could take it all back?!? [View all]

Pardon me, but my foot wants to laugh.

You have got to be fucking kidding me… Didn't his superiors give him the chance to do just that and he steadfastly REFUSED? He was the one who wanted this court martial and he got one. AND yet he could have avoided all of that, but now he's crying baby tears because he had his stupid ass handed to him.

Be a MARINE, dipshit… Jeez.

Well, tough luck, fuck face… Just be glad that you didn't get the Big Chicken Dinner out of your brain dead stunt on Facebook of all god damned places…

Just have fun trying to make a decent living from now on with an OTH discharge in this economy.

Marine who criticized Obama on Facebook: I wish I could take it back

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/25/11396769-marine-who-criticized-obama-on-facebook-i-wish-i-could-take-it-back

By Isolde Raftery, msnbc.com

Sgt. Gary Stein, the 26-year-old Marine who learned Wednesday he would be discharged for his online comments criticizing President Barack Obama, wishes he could take it back.

“People ask me, ‘Would you go back and change those words?’ I would most definitely,” Stein told msnbc.com. “I would articulate my point better.”

On March 1, Stein wrote on a closed forum for active-duty meteorologists and oceanographers that he would say "Screw Obama" and not follow all orders from him, according to Courthouse News.

“Obama is the economic enemy,” he wrote in the post. “He is the religious enemy ... He is the ‘fundamentally change’ America enemy … He IS the Domestic Enemy.”
