2. I understand your anger... but they're not robots or stupid

However, I taught GED classes at 29 Palms and Camp Pendleton to enlisted Marines. I also come from a military-serving family and have a close family member who served as a Navy Corpsman with the 1st Marine Division during Vietnam.

Although I don’t know the character of enlisted Marines today, I have known drill instructors to be upright, honest, and deeply dedicated. They do everything they can to train Marines to survive in battle—that is their number one job.

Please remember that they are young and follow their command. They’re not robots.

USMC! Any Marine is welcome at my table.
