Here's what I know about the Marines based on 20+ years living as an adult in America:
They didn't protect us on 9/11
They didn't protect us from the anthrax attacks
They didn't protect us from the DC sniper
They didn't protect us from natural disasters
They didn't protect us from foreign hackers
They didn't protect us from a virus
They didn't protect us from mass shooters
They didn't protect us from insurrectionists
They didn't protect our elections from foreign meddling
They didn't even get OBL
What is the budget for the Marines, anyway?
Since they haven't once protected us from any of the threats to this country in the 21st century (and for most of the 20th century), why do we still have them and why are we still giving them hundreds of billions of dollars that could go to health care, education, or cleaning up the environment instead?
All trained because of Wars started by Democrats?
Your anti-militarism is typical of the far Left. How many soldiers have you spit on over your lifetime?
