In reply to the discussion: Hundreds of Marines investigated for sharing photos of naked colleagues [View all]Johnyawl
(3,205 posts)18. I spent three years in the Marines.
Their training is not dissimilar from the Army's, the Marines are just more intense; the training is more physically and mentally challenging. Marines are not taught "to view other human beings as nothing more than things to be attacked and conquered". There's a great deal of emphasis put on honor, loyalty and comradery with your fellow Marines. The OP included a link to the Marine Corps Times, read that article to understand just how shaken the Corps is by this scandal.
And what have you heard about Mattis?

OP
You think this wouldn't have occured w/o Trump? Or this just started a few months ago?

That's what every Marine would tell his daughter. And his mother. And possibly his wife.

Another comment about Trump. You think this just sprang up recently? This kind of misogynist

Yet another absurd comment involving Trump. This would have happened w/o him.

The USMC isn't going to go through every profile that commented on the pics.
