being a marine is a he'll of a lot better profession than being a damn teacher. it actually takes brains to be in the military. it is too ******* easy to get an educator's degree today.

They don't care if it's repair or not op. They're liberals and all they care about is getting their hourly useless rant out... sorry you had to be the target for something noble... Be proud of your plans!

FYI the marines are complete imbiscles I was one and was in the field aircraft repair I graduated Pensacola and Virginia beach for my follow on school only the officers are intelligent enlisted side are full of complete ****** idiots so you take this advice or leave it idc

Semper Fi, Marine. Nobody finer than a United States Marine. Made of different stuff you are, and I'm very proud of our armed forces. So thank you for doing your part to defend our freedoms and the freedoms and liberties of jerks without a clue. You simply cannot buy some people a clue.

dont do it, us marine 2002-2010.

All I can say is that appreciate your service. Thank you and yours very much.

your teachers an ignorant moron. tell it that

**** anyone who disrespects any military personal.

Semper fi man nice choice

Seriously, OP, **** that guy. He's a close-minded prick who just wants to force his opinion on everyone else. My boyfriend was also an Avionics Marine. I used to have very little respect for the military, but that's because I didn't understand. I'd never known military people, so unfortunately I thought a lot like your teacher. Now that I actually know these guys (boyfriend and two roommates are Marines), I know they're not all "war-hungry pigs." They're just guys, guys who want to support their families, pay for college, learn technical skills to carry over to future jobs, or to fulfill a sense of obligation to their country. They don't just go overseas to fight. My boyfriend helped hand out food, water, and medical supplies in Indonesia and several other countries. He has probably saved more lives than any of us on this board who aren't doctors or something. They are the last people who would WANT to go to war, because they know they're the ones fighting it. And why do they go? They go so some middle-aged asshole college professor can sit on his ass and badmouth them without worrying about getting his tongue cut out or being executed for it. If this guy gives you any more shit about it, report him to the school for harassment. I've seen so many college professors who think they're above the rules, but when he starts specifically singling you out for ridicule it's gone too far. If he singled out a woman and lectured her for being female, or a gay guy for being gay, or a handicapped person for being in a wheelchair, he'd get in trouble. It's the same thing. There's a difference between free speech and hate speech. Talk to school administrators. If they can't do anything to stop him, maybe they can transfer you to another class. Good luck, OP. And never, ever be ashamed of being a US Marine.
