Around thirty Marines face courts-martial for their involvement in the [\u201cMarines United\u201d] group.<\/p>\n
Marine leaders are trying to change the culture with measures like a new rule that says Marines can be forced out of the service if they share nude pictures online without consent.<\/p>\n
That change comes at a vital time. Marines already have been asked to fight overseas during the Trump administration, and if men and women in the service distrust one another, it\u2019s going to make their high-stakes deployments even harder. (Right now, Marines are firing weaponry at ISIS in Syria and deploying into \u201chot spots\u201d in Iraq.)<\/p>\n
So before the Marine Corps can most effectively help maintain order in the world, it needs to maintain order among its own ranks. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
First, Ward claims that the group had 30,000 members and only 30 of them turn out to be active duty Marines who can be punished. So that’s thirty out of about 200,000 active duty Marines. Hardly a fight, or struggle, or battle. I’m sure most Marines were as disgusted as the rest of us when we found out what was going on in a closed Facebook group – I assume it was closed to USMC leadership, too.<\/p>\n
Ward claims that other services are dealing with an increase in sexual assaults, when actually they’re dealing with an increase in reports of sexual assault – something they should be applauded for. They’re also dealing with the ever-expanding definition of sexual assault. Yesterday’s poster on the inside of a wall locker is tomorrow’s Captain Mast.<\/p>\n
By the way, masculinity isn’t toxic – it’s how the Marines have been winning wars for centuries. Isn’t that what we pay them for? Revenge pr0n has nothing to do with masculinity, not among the men I know.<\/p>\n
It appears that playing soccer can be toxic, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
