Scott Olsen: I hate the Marine Corps
Yesterday, we discussed IVAW and Veterans For Peace member, Scott Olsen, who had his head busted by some police “projectile” in Oakland the other night. Our buddy, Gateway Pundit sent us a link to his post today about how Olsen was the founder of the “I Hate The Marine Corps” blog.
Gateway Pundit quotes from Verum Serum who discovered the original story;
The Marine Corps thrives on its image. They convince young men and women that they’re joining a professional military organization. But that’s not the case at all, every Marine knows it, and most have no problem downplaying the bullshit to outsiders so they can protect their “beloved corps”. I noticed some of the other posters have told you not to pay any attention to my site because we’re just a bunch of ********* who couldn’t hack it, right? Maybe not hacking it means we saw through the bullshit and don’t want to take it. Maybe the brainwashing didn’t work on us. I’m not here to tell you if you should join or not. I’m here to advise you to take the people who visit my website just as seriously as anybody who tries to sell you the MC as a good thing.
My site is anonymous, these people don’t have to worry about hiding from the MC, or protecting the MC’s image or anything. It is unfiltered truth.
No, he still didn’t deserve a fractured skull, but I think it’s a little bit odd that he hates the Marine Corps…until it gives him and his fellow hippies a measure of moral authority.
Update Sporkmaster: For someone who did not like the Marines, they are actively trying to portray the opposite. Here is a screen capture of of his comment that he was being separated for drug use.

Everyone has a different experience in the military for some everything goes well for some it can be a nightmare and most fall in between but for you to go after this kid for saying he hates the Marines is disingenuous at best I am sure you said multiple times during your time in the Army “I hate the fucking Army” Of course you will say no because you’re a hack but you know the truth.
My goodness, did some one steal all your periods/full stops, OB? Here – you can have some of mine – no charge. ……………………………………………………………

I understand that point, I really do. But I do not understand if you dislike something so much, to include how the Marines project their image that he would do the same. Would it have the same impact if he was not a Marine?
Also in the Verum Serum link there are things that would suggest that he was separated for drug use.
He served 2 tours in Iraq no? Maybe he had problems adjusting when he got back and did drugs, just because somebody does something bad in their life doesn’t mean all they have ever done is bad. This guy served his country and because he was at a protest that you all disagree with his service will be insulted, marginalized and dismissed. However when somebody you agree with politically like Cheney or Nugent obviously bitched out of service they are given a complete pass and idolized.smh!!
Sporkmaster: That does not give a excuse for breaking the law. Regardless of if he served in Iraq or not drug use will still get you kicked out. Also if things got violent it might be a good idea to leave. Because if this this happened in a post sports champion game victory/defeat would you look at him the same way. See NHL Vancouver after the Bruins won.
@1- I’ll write this so you can understand it:
it does so make sense to go after this kid because he claimed to be a marine to give credence to his opinions but had established a blog saying how much he hated the marines a while back so its not disingenuous to go after him for stating an opinion opposite of the one he created a goddamned website over because creating a website takes much more effort than just running your mouth so we can assume he felt a little bit more strongly about the opinion that caused him to create a blog

Does every site have a Sea Lawyer like Obama Girl? It sure seems that way.
“However when somebody you agree with politically like Cheney or Nugent obviously bitched out of service they are given a complete pass and idolized.”
Because Conservatism is about their ideas, not their biographies. We agree with their ideas.
But while you’re on that point, what about that chicken-hawk Obama? Uganda. Kenya. Libya. Ethiopia. Any comment about Obama needind to send his kids to fight their daddy’s wars?
If he is stating on a blog that he is a former Marine and badmouthing the Corps in that blog, then he opens himself up to ridicule. He has made himself a defacto public figure. Public figures are subject to ridicule every day for the acts they do and the things they say. Mr. Olsen, by his own actions, brought the ridicule upon his person. No one else did.
The internet is a wonderful thing. Things you “put out there” on a blog are available for all to see. If he didn’t want the whole world to see what he was saying (and then comment on it) then maybe he should have put his thoughts down in a Hello Kitty diary and kept it under his pillow to keep it away from prying eyes. Just my two cents worth.
I’m sure OG voted first for H.W. Bush, and then Dole, over that dispicable draft-dodger and notorious draft card burner, Bill Clinton. Also, she probably didn’t vote for Obama over John McCain, because when someone who agrees with you bitched out of service, then they desrve to be shunned.
Am I putting too much thought into this?
There has always been nonhackers with low self esteem who never had to follow rules growing up and just skated by. They join the Corps (or some other branch) somehow make it through Bootcamp then when they get to the Fleet they hit the OH SHIT bulkhead. Some get over it and get with the program. Others remain sniveling crybabies who can only moan, groan and look for ways to slack off and never get a clue. Like to know what this clowns MOS was.
By the way OG couldn’t you have done better than to lift someone else’s moniker?

Check yourself, junior, this is the Big Leagues.
I’m never sending my kids to college. From the looks of OG, it rots your brain.
>some it can be a nightmare
I honestly think that says more about you than the military. The military has and will always be what you make of it. If you want it to be a nightmare- It will. If you want it to be an adventure- it will.
I mean I am not saying it isn’t hard, and I am only speaking as a spouse- so feel free to fry me- but I have been a spouse who married three weeks into basic and has stuck around 20 years. My husband has been E-1 pay grade to W-3. I have had all my stuff get lost, because the damn movers forgot to write out name on the crates. I have had my husband “lost” while in Japan..and the unit call me and beg me for information. You just have to roll with it… and if you can’t you leave.
Read the damm comments…these people apparently didn’t understand what they were signing up for. My recruiter pulled out all the videos and I told them I didn’t care,I expect it to suck and if I could be Infantry that would be great. If they enlisted in the last 10 years they had to know exactly where they were going. How hard is it to stay out of trouble and be on time. USMC – you signed the mother efin’ contract.
@14- Great job, melle.
It would always piss me off to see the population of women with ring finger tanlines explode in Norfolk and VA Beach bars every time a carrier and it’s battle group pulled out of port. Family members like yourself take a hit every deployment, and you deserve to be commended for toughing it out instead of taking the easy road.
>It would always piss me off to see the population of women with ring finger tanlines explode
I know… I never thought it was fair that only the service member could get charged with adultery. I just always knew that my man part time was better than any other man full time 🙂
It is really simple to everyone with the ability to think rationally, which leaves out the leftist, libtards, and other brainless pondscum out there.
If you use your affiliation with the Marines to stand out from the crowd for your own benefit or to forward your personal agenda, you are free game, and you had better be 100 percent locked on. If you are a maladroit, and this shitbird is, then you are going to get railed on. He has every right to his opinion, bur opinions are like assholes, in that everyone has one, and many of them stink. He didn’t go there to save anyone or protect anyone, he went there for free pussy, and to get his 15 minutes. He got an unexpected freebie, a busted brain housing group. The cops fucked up, but he fucked up bigger by going to hang with those socialist anarchists, and he paid for it. Maybe it will induce him to think before doing stupid shit next time. Probably not.
Apparently he is also got some anti-Semite in him. ( Link from Gateway Pundit)

@USMC Steve, I’m a self professed liberal (libtard??) and I think rationally as my previous post (#9) displays. Don’t count everyone who is not a conservative as inept and unable to form their own rational thoughts. I’m educated and oddly in favor of most of the thoughts and ideas on this page.
ObamGirl,
Can you please give me an example of anyone idolizing Dick Cheney or Ted Nugent? I think that this is one of those things that exists in your head. I mean that.
@12 and @17: Perfect. Just perfect. I guess Gregorivich sent an apology by email because I don’t see an apology posted here.
Re: OG. She’s a spent round. You can police the brass if you like.
Was anyone really surprised by this? Its all well and good to wear MARCAM to a protest but don’t ever actually be proud of your service!
I might agree sometimes that Marines think too much of their image and not enough on sound tactical doctrine (you’d be amazed at how many times “hey diddle diddle, up the middle” seems like a good idea to the Marines) but I do admit Marines earn their image by taking on tough assignments.
Throw a company of Army troopers to the wolves so to speak and do the same to a Marine company, and come back in 6 months and I’ll bet that they’ll look the same, same haggard expression, same “i Gives a fuck” attitude, and probably similar casualty figures. Really the reason the Army has more casualties is that there’s more of us.
I got in a shit storm argument with 2 of my good friends and am not talking to them over the same stuff going on in the comments section. They couldn’t fathom how is disrespectful appearance, illegal use of the uniform and his contempt for the military pretty much voided any weight he had in an argument and made him an object of contempt for choosing to act in such a way.
I have three predictions:
1. We will soon find out that Olsen’s discharge and characterization of service was less than honorable. Most likely, it involved drug use.
2. When this information comes to light, his supporters will blame his problems on PTSD from his two tours in a combat zone.
3. Soon thereafter, we will learn that he spent his two tours in Iraq as an orderly room clerk, fetching coffee for XO.
Just wait…
@ Doc… Dude!
….you can’t be serious! You’re letting your Army brainwashing take over! Marines have some of the best tactical doctrine out there… and its been well proven that the Marines (who usually get the shittiest [toughest] objectives) get the job done when the Army has failed!
As Marines like to say… we make it safe for the Army to stay. 🙂

AirCav @23, yeah Gregorivich will post his apology just as soon as he can steal someone’s laptop and internet connection at the local Flea Bagger rally he’s at.
And greggy, if you don’t believe Jonn, here’s the link, just to make it easy for you. http://www.whois.net/whois/ihatethemarinecorps.com
“As Marines like to say… we make it safe for the Army to stay.”
Dammit, Doc. Now you started something. Now, before anyone gets his or her nose knocked out of joint, let’s just acknowledge that the Marines do have the best….TV commercials.
@#30 Air Cav…. now THAT’s funny.. and def true!
Remember the Army commercial “Shhh, i can talk right now… i’m in the Army Reserve” as a soldier is creeping/patrolling thru a swamp? Comedy gold!
Oh boy…
Marines used to guard gates for the Navy. Not one gate was stolen.
The Army guarding their OWN gates during that time frame… not so much.
I liked the Army one that saw some pvt in the field smile broadly and say, “Good morning first sergeant.” Made me want to deny my branch of service.
@30 – and uniforms. I just love a man in those marine dress uniforms.
The Marines had the best TV show too Gomer Pyle, USMC. The Army had Sgt. Bilko in the 1950s. The Air Force had “I dream of Jeannie” and the Navy had “McHale’s Nay.” What am I missing? Gee, why didn’t Hollywood make a show about the Coast Guard? Oh yeah. I forgot. They did. BayWatch.
This guy is in the process of being adopted by the press/left, who finally have a member of the military of whom they can be proud: one who shares their infamous hatred and contempt for military service.
He is being characterized as the face of a patriotic ows movement against brutal cops doing the bidding of wall street fox news and the koch brothers.
While untrue to anyone taking 5 seconds to find out, this impression will take hold among the general population only barely paying attention, absent a vigorous and compelling counternarrative by sources like TAH, i.e. that Olsen is not honorable he is in fact acting with extreme dishonor.
Yes, those uniforms are really, really cute! (I hope that doesn’t draw Insipid in here.)
Now, now AirCav. Let’s have FULL disclosure here, okay? They absolutely have … the best looking dress uniform!
I think I’ve figured OG out, it’s a bunch of occutards posting on one computer, hence the absence of a pause or any semblance of coherent thought in #1, as opposed to the pause, punctuation but lack of coherent thought in #4. There is a thread there, and the occuturds display it constantly. No. Thinking. At. All.
#35 AirCav:
What about “Rat Patrol”?
Ah. Good one. Excellent show. Had a Brit or two in it, though. And I forgot the all-time great: Combat. Had a Frenchie –named Frenchie–in that one.
His own words demonstrate that he hated the uniform and hated serving, but he is being LIONIZED for showing up in a uniform he hates to lend credibility to OWS. That is the definition of duplicity. Anything else is intellectually dishonest.
@34– Yep Marines have the best dress uniform…Of Course if my husband asks, I will deny I said this… and build up the Army’s ucky faded pants look(yes I know history and all that)… I am just so happy warrants aren’t wearing the bus driver hats anymore..
@38. Okay. Let’s end this right now. Is there anyone here who does NOT believe (in their heart of hearts) the Marines have the best looking uniform? I mean really. No simple partisanship.
Olsen did two tours in Iraq as a “data network specialist.”
I guess he was pulling Bradley Manning’s cable?
That’s DRESS uniform.
Marines have the best uniforms around no doubt about it. Don’t forget about the commercials or chauffeurs…
looking at the photos..I would venture to guess he was discharged for cruelty to animals (poor gerbil) and possession.
What the hell could one possibly do with all that booze, pot and a gerbil?
WAIT!!! DON’T answer that!
Having worn both and still cart around my old Blues from PCS to PCS…we all know what the ladies like. Its not close. I have a Stetson and spurns and its not even close. The old Marine commercials were the best. They had dragons and swords..we had jumping tanks that I’m sure they still have’nt found all the pieces to.
I left this message on the Reddit site:
“I’m a retired Army Sergeant First Class and did two tours in Iraq. The bleeding hearts had better do some research on this punk before they defend him as some kind of martyr. First of all, he chose to hang around with the violence-prone “Occupy” movement whose ranks are chock full of communists, nazis, anarchists, and felons.
No wonder the Dems and Obama embrace them.
Their goal is to overthrow our Democratic Republic. They riot. Not very “peaceful”. They were rioting at the time he was injured. Too bad.
He also has a site: I hate the marine corps, where he professed his true feelings for the marines.
IT’S AN ALL VOLUNTEER FORCE. Don’t like it? Un-ass what ever branch you’re in and shut the fuck up. Speaking of “un-ass” Olsen got a less than honorable discharge. He was a problem child. How convienient of the cream puff to hop on the ‘Occupy’ bandwagon. I’m sick of Leftards and disgruntled IVAW pukes teaming up to piss, moan, and complain over the consequences of their stupidity and bad behavior.
Hey fucktards, you own this disaster.”
