That's not a fair statement, that's like grouping all "combat" vets in with John F'n Kerry.
He's making the rounds to like-minded Liberal loonies. Tonk's post #28 here says it all:

Perfect venue for this scum.
I'm sure the memories are "seared into his memory", as well. He sounds like a dupe.
Reminds me a scene from the book 'Fields of Fire' by James Webb, in which dirty, stinkin', hippie "activists" (see: Democratic trouble-makers) manipulate a wounded Vietnam vet.
These are the same sorts that anonymously call and harass the families of our KIA and MIA.
I see we have this new generation's John F. Kerry!
Isn't is rather, um, contrary that these guys come out of the closet AFTER they've lied, deceived, murdered, and otherwise performed all kinds of horrendous acts, then try to convince the rest of us they're really good people?
I wouldn't trust this guy to take out my garbage.
Follow the money! $$$$
I have no idea
Let me just say that the reputation of military recruiters to embellish and obfuscate is as old as the military itself.
First, I'd like to know if he actually served as claimed. We've had imposters making statements like these before.
Is there any way to check the facts on his service, for instance, did he serve in the capacity claimed, did he serve at all, etc.?
I'm an Army Vet myself, but that line about "recruitment counselor" jumped out at me too.
As long as we're talking military lingo, I think this guy is a perfect example of what we called in my day a "blivet".
That was my thought. This guy's spiel reeks of fraud. I'd like to see the Pyjamahadeen look into this.
It reads more like a confession of guilt than a condemnation of Marine Corps policy regarding war-fighting and recruiting. I'd be interested in finding out the statue of limitations involving his self professed "atrocities" and recruiting violations. This "Ex-Marine" obviously needs to get a grip and stop participating in actions that will hurt his former Brothers in the field.
My guess would be that the Marine Corps urinated in his cereal by sending him to war immediately following Recruiter duty. Seems that he lost track of the earliest lesson one learns in the Marines....never send someone to do a task that you cannot do or haven't already done yourself.
It was good for Chesty Puller and its good enough for me.
Ok...I'm off my soapbox and back to my coffee.
Geeze I thought you had to go to Vietnam to get that. Can't these guys come up with something new?
A quick google search didn't reveal anything about the "Conscious Alternative to Militarism (CAM)" group. They must operate out of the local Starbucks. Are these the same folks that carried on in the Ithaca recruiting office?
I lied, I cheated, and I deceived," Iraq War Veteran and former staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey But now I'm telling the truth, honest I am.
Has a nice ring to it.
He was with 3/7, my step brothers old outfit in Nam, as a Weapons CO. Platoon SGT, according to a quick search. My cousin Paul was a Section leader in 3/5 weapons, 4 Duce, I was in the Army and know $hit about how the Marines are organized.
"How is a six-year-old child with a bullet in his head a terrorist, because that is the youngest I killed," Massey said."
If you killed the child Massey then it is you who has to answer that question, not the Marines. This child murdering POS deserves a bullet in the head for what he has done.
I e-mailed Jug Burkett about this guy last week. Jug is out of town, but I plan to try again.
I'm also sending this to my husband, who, as an E-9 and pretty hooked into the higher command in the corps, might be able to get a Marine investigation started on this.)
This guy REALLY pisses me off. What a scumbag.
