Marine veteran Ivan Snook set social media aflame on Sunday after posting that the U.S. military should stop allowing enlisted service members to become officers.
“Mustangs erode the esteem, legitimacy and distinct culture of the officer corps like merchants marrying into the aristocracy,” Snook posted on X. “Nevertheless, we are intent on lowering the standards and reducing military service to being ‘just a job’ asap.”
What an asshole.
As a Marine Corps officer, this fool should be ashamed of themselves. What would his response be to Chesty Puller, the most decorated marine officer who started out as a private? What a disgrace to the Corps.
He was asked about Puller, Yeager, and Audie Murphy, in the article. He back tracked and said it wasn’t about individual skill or talent, but about troop morale?
This guy is a legitimate idiot, he claims his statements are all based on the psychoanalytical theory by Freud…you know the thing that’s been heavily disproven for decades. Oh and the cherry on top? He fucking left the service as a corporal.
I wish the Corps could still do something to reprimand this moron. Closest thing is every Marine giving him a charlie horse when they see him.
Sorry, but there was a man named “Chesty Puller”?
