This one will be short — which since I get criticized for being too verbose (guilty as charged) in some of my diaries.
I sat down for a break from preparing Thanksgiving culinary goodies, and turned on the TV — MSNBC. Stephanie Ruhl (or her producer) cut away to watch our shitbird (fellow jarheads will get it) President addressing a unit of Marines overseas.
That motherfucker actually had the gall to say Semper Fi! I shouted out a stream of obscenities so loud I might wind up getting complaints from the upstairs and adjoining apartments.
For those who hear the term but might not know Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful) is the motto of my Marine Corps. It means to god (if unlike me you believe), to Country and to Corps. And we damn well take it seriously. Semper Fidelis or the more common “Semper Fi” means something, something visceral to us.
Hearing a draft dodging Chickenhawk motherfucking piece of shit asshole like Trump use it enrages me in a way I can’t fully express.
“Semper Fi” — from a man who would (and likely will) sell out members of his own family (not just son-in-law Jared) to save his own sorry ass. From a man who sure as hell wasn’t going to risk his own silver spoon privileged ass when it counted. From a man who is actively selling out our country, and not just our own security but the free worlds because he’s owned lock, stock & barrel by an enemy of the United States. He doesn’t give jack shit about our country or anyone else. He uses up and then throws away people, including people who have given up everything including reputations earned over decades of actual service when they are no longer useful to him. Or because they don’t worship & kiss his useless ass enough.
That sumbitch doesn’t know the first goddamned thing about “Faithful” unless it’s ALL towards him.
It makes me sick inside to hear him trying to pretend he has any connection to those Marines who were nothing to him but props for his image and ego, and saying a phrase loaded with meaning to us jarhead in an attempt to “connect” with them and “show” the country he was on of us — by us I mean Marines.
I hope when he goes golfing again on his little getaway he shanks a drive and the ball ricochets off the golf cart (or better yet the steel pole of the ball washer — more force in the rebound) and smacks him right between his fucking eyes and breaks his nose!
