When someone thanks me for being in, I understand that they are thanking me for serving, regardless of what i did or didn't do. Many of you on here know that when my unit deployed I was not able to go with them do to an injury to my shoulder. I struggled with not going and being left behind as well as after the guys got back, what they went through and the loss of more than one Marine, after they got home. Even when I talk about this people always say, it doesn't matter, what matters is that you joined, volunteered and could have / wanted to go. Some people both active and reserve may think differently than me, but this guy seems like he joined for the wrong reasons and as above stated may be a disgruntled employee. I could see if this guy was infantry or had experiences that he will have to live with the rest of his life but for being an "IT" guy he seems overly hostile towards the USMC.
