In reply to the discussion: Hundreds of Marines investigated for sharing photos of naked colleagues [View all]Johnyawl
(3,205 posts)19. Everything about this is court martial level stupid.
I'm an old guy, my service was 40+ years ago, but I read the Facebook pages that are run by and for the young guys, the current Marines and the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, ALL of the active duty Marines know that their social media posts are occasionally viewed by their superiors. They can be brought up on charges based on their social media postings.
The Marines that did this are scum, online bullies and trolls, and if they are still on active duty they are stupid scum. Read the article on the MarineCorpsTimes site that the OP linked to. The site that this started on is a private page, with both active duty Marines and Marine Corps veterans.

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.
