Is this a joke?


I’m not even sure what to say about this. Part of me just wants to laugh at the absurdity of it; part of me is pissed off.

I wish I knew just what was going through his mind when he put that t-shirt on so I could better define how ridiculous he looks. It would almost make sense if he were on a Marine base playing basketball with a group of Marines. But then I think you’d be hard pressed to find a Marine who would willingly give him a t-shirt.

The closest thing this man has to military experience is maybe watching Full Metal Jacket when he was in college, but I’m pretty sure the crowd he ran with back then would have frowned on that. It’s heartbreaking that he may indeed be our next commander in chief.

I’m pissed because, while uniform regulations obviously apply only to actual uniform items, you don’t wear it unless you’ve earned it. Exceptions being wives and girlfriends; they look sexy in our t-shirts. With zero affiliation with any branch of the military, let alone the Marine Corps, where does he get off wearing that?

He didn’t earn the title, and he’s not going to earn respect by posing.

Are you saying that I can't look sexy in a Marines t-shirt?

You need to waste some more time and join facebook. Would love to hear from you. Got a little info from Jenn.
