Not all Marines were grunts. Many were clerks and repair technicians who rarely ever got in the field.

He got hit from behind - I imagine he was thinking his presence would put them off and, like most bullies, they would back down at the first sight of aggression. Not true with today’s punks - if they hadn’t knocked him out they would have got a few cheapies in then ran - fact that they got him from behind means that they could then pummel him. Some young men are so weak nowadays they don’t believe they might have to take a punch to be in a fight.

“I’m not happy to have been injured pretty severely, but at the same time, I ask myself, would I do it again?” he tells the Sun-Sentinel. “You know, it was the right thing to do, so I probably would.”

Thank goodness that we still have men like this.

The youts were white (trash) and their intended victims were Black. So the White Marine intervened to save a Black boy and his dad. That seems worthy of mention

I'm a former Marine, and I survived a pretty bad criminal assault in 2002.

Two cracked ribs, a broken wrist and 30 staples in my head.

Jumped from behind. It happens. They got a little more of a fight than they were expecting.

I think appropriate punishment for these three would be a rematch with the former Marine...one at a time.

Especially the Dieter kid. That kid’s picture gives off the same “smarmy punk” vibe as a Billy Zabka*** movie character. Love to see him get his guts stomped out in a fair fight.

What’s the matter with FReepers?

It was 3 on 1, which makes getting behind him pretty easy.

When’s the last time you threw a punch at somebody a shirt size larger than you?

Veterans, when faced with the use of deadly force, learn to go for the knees, insteps, eyes, temples, throat, etc. Do some heavy bag work with hands, fingers, elbows, head and feet.

The article is careful to not mention the race of the perpetrators. It’s always a dead giveaway. The dog that didn’t bark.

I got my a$$ handed to me a while back because I for got that after a few decades of experience being 18 years old your reflexes slow down some. Now that the bruises have healed I’m many times more dangerous then when I was younger, I step in again my first and only thought will be to win, not “ I don’t want to hurt them too bad”. After his lesson in the effects of time on the body, I would bet that if Mr. Jones gets a round two; if he goes to the hospitable after it’s over the punks will already be there because the worst injuries ship first.

"I wanna know how a Marine allowed these punks to beat him unconscious"

Hey lowbrain, really?

What are you trying to point out, that the Marines are not superhuman, duh!

The mere fact that he jumped in is a testimony to his valor, and some BS smarmy remark on why he didn't win shows that you're not smart enough to comment.

Not knowing what your tenuous life is like, but your comments are proof enough to know, that you spent too much time reading SOF magazine in the confines of someones basement.

I have to think that there are astonishingly rare people under 30 who would fit this kind of mold of what real, traditional men are about. Anytime someone is attacked or a shooting/terror attack occurs or what not it always seems like it is considered such a colossally huge deal anytime there are people in their 20s or younger and they do anything to be proactive instead of just helplessly waiting for an intervention. I feel like there simply has to have been a time in American history when, even if something like a mass shooting or a gang attack or a terror attack happened, it was expected that would be proactive in trying to stop it or prevent people from getting hurt or killed. Maybe not trying to rush or charge the attackers for most people but at least do SOMETHING to protect yourselves and others. At least once you got to be 18/19 or older, anyway. And if you didn’t, it meant you were cowardly, spineless, unprincipled and obscenely passive.
