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.

Oh, and OG, “an institution of higher learning” is not juvenile detention, no matter what your self-esteem mentor tells you.
I’m in an institution of higher learning. So far the only new thing I’ve learned is that moonshine is tasty and F**K Pitt for leaving the big east. This is F**king BULLSHIT!!!
“…no matter what your self-esteem mentor tells you.”
I am grateful that I had neither food nor drink in mouth or hand when I read that!
Jesus, someone needs to up OG’s meds again.
I get my first weekend off in almost two months and THIS is the shit she scoots all over the carpet?
Well, that’s what you get for letting her back inside the house, Sparky.
Sparky I told you to inspect the field before you play it. 😛
No organization is going to be totally sensible in its running day to day, not even the Corps. When you let officers loose to “be in charge” dangerous things can ensue. To a certain extent, forces external to the Corps affect us and how we do business, as do the “career builders” that are found in every organization. In the end, we get the jobs done though, ALL OF THEM.
But I bet if you ask Max Uiarte of Terminal Lance, he is pretty proud of his service, his friends, and his fellow Marines. I know I am, and I include Max in that family.
Many Marines became law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty – have these same people yelled for justice for them?
Marine Online says this guy never existed.
Any Marine with an account can log in and verify this. Sorry but this guy is a sham and deserves every bit of pressure against his weak little brain.
Ok. First If you have not experienced the USMC lately (such as you oldtimers) which Im always hearing how great the corps WAS, YOU really don’t know what has become of your beloved corps. There will always be what we call the USMC Goonies. Marines that attack you for talking down the Cors. To be honest there is a time to voice your opinion, but I base them off facts. Most times however you are just a bitch and a whiner whenever you want to go to this free medical. No you aren’t denied medical but they can make it hard for you. Marines want to treat you like a bitch but call it professionalism. Marines are supposed to be freedom fighters the the very ones that don’t bend over and do fight back for what is right, but they are undisciplined? Ive been toup Iraq and afghan. I dihave my job that givesis me ecvery right toare voice myyour opinion. OPEN YOUR EYES……Marines try to tell other marines how the corps is this and that….hey idiot YOU are in the corps and experience it first hand..can’t bullshit it….the system is for snco, and above really..sgt and below are just stepping stones to improve ones career and once they’re done you are discarded and a mew dumb marine is brought in to do the same thing. We are just pawns in a complicated chess game. Kept in the dark because once we see the light REAL marines fight for it. Not tuck your tail between your legs and go aye aye. For all the motivated corps loving marines out their that talk shit about the nonhackers….look in the mirror real good and ask your self ” do I practice what I preach? Am I honorable? Will I put myself out for my marines? Am I two faced?” And btw if the corps is so great why is it 85%! Get out after first enlistment. I guess im just bitching though huh? Even though that is a fact!
I always let my Marines go to medical, no problem. Can’t get the job done if you’re broke ;). It’s what you make of it, much like everything else in life.
But if you read what he has written about the Corps image that one can say the phrase “Once a Marine, always a Marine” is part of that too.
So to me he use saying Marine Corp image is propaganda unless it suits him. I mean if I hated the Army to the point that he does I would NEVER wear any Army uniform ever again.
Ok first off, Scott olsen joined the corps and went to fight in a bullshit war for a country who will fuck us over if they profit from it. Do some research on the war and you will be disgusted by how many people have died in it. The war itself was over in 5 days yet we still occupy both countries.
By Scott talking about how much he hated the marine corps is him using his 1st amendment right. He went to war twice for the corps.
In the marine corps boot camp is 13 weeks long where you are broken down and conditioned to think you are the best of the best and that you can kill anything an it’s all good. Some popular sayings in the corps are oh rah kill bodies eat babies. In combat training we watch videos of real people being shot and killed, blown up and lit on fire, as all the marines cheer and joke.
It is a sick establishment, I have been a marine for 4 years and I am finally getting away from this hateful fighting force. Long live Scott Olsen for his bravery to go to war in the desert and then go to war to change the world. Wake the fuck up people.
Sporkmaster: It points out that his wearing the uniform was as much of a stunt as anything else. If he hated it that much why is he wearing the uniform the protest?
Also care to comment on him taking photos of his Marijuana plant that he was growing that he had posted online?
Anyone who doesn’t realize that phrases like “oorah kill bodies” and, ESPECIALLY, “eat babies” are said in jest is a fucking moron not worthy of stealing oxygen those of us with fully functioning brains could actually use. Hey the Corps ain’t for you, you obviously missed the point, then by all means get out. You won’t be missed I can assure you. Good luck in your future endeavors devil dog.
i love the marine corps, and i can definitely think for myself. Some people just cant realize that 4 years in the marine is being at the bottom of the barrel. Low rank, probably same unit whole time, more than likely same base for whole time, dealing with pretty much the same people. The Marine Corps is bigger than 4 years at a couple units. Don’t form opinions of the Corps based off 4 short years in the same vicinity.
u wont be missed either now go suck gunnys dick u moron!
oops i didnt think that would post…
Nobody should have to put up with hearing or listening to “kill babies.”motivate”, and “oorah” receing these helpings about 1078 per day being forced by everyone/excessively all the time.Does this make up for actual communicating because everyone secretly beleives its a screwed up system. Nobody wants to be around overbearing grouchy people. In meetings do all of you sit around and stare at eachother and look around myself and go, oorah, OOrah, oorAH, orrah ok for an hour and then calim the meeting is over? lol. 🙂
all ive got to say is the Marine needs to either change, change,change or wipe it out and get rud of this monotany b.s. its only hurting alot of people, i see what it does to people. Bad things. i talked to older vietname vets and they said it doesnt sound nearly as crazy and dumb as it doesn Now. they said it was kidna bad back then but after bootcamp everyone was treated as marine. lots of oldtimers say its worse now from jsut the stories i tell and i dont overdo on my stories that are real life based.
Just dropped by, takin’ a break; and read:
“….you people don’t deserve me on this site”
“We” Don’t deserve her? What a narcissic wench, as bad as her Bumbler in Chief. ….don’t deserve her???????
this scott olsen guy obviously was a terd. he couldnt hack it in the corps and that’s why he got kicked out. that is also why this site is crap. it is written by a bunch of wimps who either didnt serve in the corps or who couldnt hack it. everyone who served in the corps dealt with the bs. everyone went through the same thing. the corps is known for this and isnt going to change. stop trying to change the corps into the boy scouts. also, this olsen guy did 2 tours in iraq as a technician for christs sake. he never saw combat and sat on base all day. maybe thats why he hates the corps. he didnt belong in the corps he should have joined the air national guard. lastly as far as his injury, its unfortunate that he was injured, but it was his fault. 1st amendment protects the right to assemble and speech. it does not give u the right to disregard police commands. they were given their opportunity to protest when it got out of hand, police stepped in and asked to disperse. when they didn’t they used tear gas. wow i never would have thought that could happen. seriously? he got hit by accident. lets be logical here. the cop was not going to risk his career and jail to purposely hit him in the head. he needs to man up and stop being a bitch. this is coming for a combat marine and cop btw in case u wanted to say i dont know what im talking about.
I know a lot of good men who left the marines for different reasons. I got out after 4 years (honorman in boot camp, e5 in 3 years, honorable discharge) because I saw through their crap. It’s not just the marines. Progressive minds refuse to be locked up. Only the dimwitted republican religious fanatic fucktards unable to make it on their own in civilian life think the military is great. If he was such a nonhacker how did he last 2 tours? Get off of his shit and grow up.
Oh yeh, Have you ever noticed how many ex marines are now cops? What the hell else can they do? 0300 grunts hump m16’s because they’re too stupid for any real mos’s. They usually stay in for 20 because they get off on the respect they get and that power trip also fits in well with law enforcement. They probably also love fox news and don’t ever have a clue how stupid they are.
Being a combat marine and/or a cop doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about. It only identifies you as a brainwashed follower republican with no real skillset. You probably voted for Bush who was an air national guard member when he wasn’t too coked up to show up for weekend duty. Scott wasn’t shot by accident. Nothing will happen to the cop, nothing ever happens to cops or priests.
Only the dimwitted republican religious fanatic fucktards unable to make it on their own in civilian life think the military is great.
Tell ya what, let’s compare W-2’s and then you can tell me how shitty the military is as an organization. A lot of my success in the past decade or so is based on not just the technical abilities I gained during my service, but the instillation of self-discipline, integrity, and sacrifice.
And it’s looking like Scott was nailed by so-called “friendly fire.” Figures a bunch of limp-wristed faggot unwashed hippie fucks couldn’t throw a fucking rock far enough to hit the cops riot line.
More evidence that the left simply cannot tolerate anyone who thinks for themselves, makes decisions based on a thought process rather than what feels good at the moment, or operates from a basis of silly things like honor and duty. Oh, well.
Those of us with the skills and will to survive will (as usual) take care of the whiny babies who cannot do it for themselves. They seem to always trust that we will do so. The part of the concept that they never grasp is that not all of them will survive because if they don’t get really good at taking care of themselves quickly, they are SOL.
Do they not still teach the survival of the fittest part of Darwinism?
Yeah, what Sparky said..
Reuters has an article on a “statement” from Olsen this morning. Basically confirms everything we already knew. Yes the I Hate The Marine Corps website was his. Yes, he was a “technician” in his two tours. Yes, he was chaptered out before completing his service obligation. Hey Scott, you can be both proud and ashamed of your service as your mood suits you. I think they call it the Jon Carry Rule.
Gee, no mention of the brain surgery that was required to reduce the swelling in his brain that the OWS experts claimed (and the moron media blindly re-stated.)
I like the cervical collar, Scott Olsen. Nice touch. A personal injury lawyer’s best tool.
He can make up any kinda site he wants. the only people who will listen dont really matter anyway. He obviously is bitter with the Marines, and I will guess he was booted for being a douche bag. He probably loved the Marines until he was booted. And if he would have paid more attention to his Marine Corp training, and watched his 6 and 12 he would have dodged that canister that fractured his skull. to bad it didnt hit him in the mouth! So he would shut the fuck up.
Here is the little faker:

Nice collar, Sally.
@#118. Steve, Steve Steve, huge, you delivered a huge, steaming pile of derp, right on cue. Let me explain something to you which you seem to have missed. See, as a SNCO, it’s my job to take care of my Marines, to make sure they have what the need to get the job done, be it training, equipment, what have you. It’s also my job to take care of them if they’re a fuck up, you know, that whole thing about BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. That being said, I didn’t get to where I’m by telling people what they want to hear, but rather what they need to hear, you know(or maybe not), the way it’s supposed to be. I couldn’t possibly give a shit less what someone writes about me on a piece of paper nor do I really care about my next promotion, I’ll pick up when I pick up, no big deal. so when you realize that 1. No one owes you anything, and 2. you’re not special like everyone told you when you were growing up, you might actually go somewhere in life. Time to grow the fuck up son. Oh and Steve, I can’t suck something when it’s constantly up YOUR ass. (Not that i’d want to anyways) Regards.;)
Service in any one of the uniformed branches is not, in itself, a revelation of character….the conditions of service reveal the character…..had he received a general discharge, rather than an administrative discharge might lend some credibility to the comments on this thread. However, it is pretty apparent by his behavior, website, comments, and activities that he was not up to the character that is expected of member of the US Military, past…or present.
Do not forget that Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Whitman, and many others of questionable character have worn the uniforms of various US Military Branches…and have just as surely disgraced themselves by their actions….
Scott Olson is NOT a hero, by any stretch of the imagination, and anyone who views him as such has serious judgement issues…
A U.S.Marine (One view): A man who allows himself to be trained and treated like a dog, that sics any thing or any body he is told to; one with his “head insulated inside a jar of obedience”. Considers himself as the higest kind of military Man, who feels secure and powerful as long as he is being obedient and loyal to the Corp. He has little respect
for anyone who voices a contrary view.
Clay Graves (One View): A clueless asshole who cannot articulate a contrary view, let alone one that is worthy of anyone’s respect.
just look at the facts. look at Olsen’s service record and then make a judgement. someone made a good point earlier. he is getting admin separated. that is reserved for terds who couldn’t hack it and are washed out. if he had a distinguished record it would add some credibility to his claims. it is obvious that he is simply bitter. also, a lot people pass judgement on the corps for how they operate. let me remind you they r an infantry force. there is no room for questioning orders or thinking things through or worrying about hurting someone’s feelings. they operate like they do b/c of their nature. i don’t know why people join the corps and then bitch about how it runs after theyre in. everyone knows what they r getting into before hand. lastly, on here and all over people have been claiming olsen was shot on purpose at the rally. show us some evidence that supports that. if it was that much of an abuse case lawyers all over the place would be investigating. again think logically. out of all the protesters there, the cop decided on purpose to shoot the iraq veteran? b/c it makes sense to risk his career and livelihood to shoot someone on purpose with a tear gas grenade. freedom of speech does not protect you forever when u r protesting. u have to abide my the rules of the municipality. if they say you can only protest during these hours, only have so many people within an area, people have to abide by it. when these animal protesters started damaging property and getting violent, what did they really think was going to happen with the police?
All of this talk about “he was shot with a tear gas grenade”….a 37mm teargas launcher is an indirect fire weapon when use to disperse gas rounds, it was an unfortunate accident, not willful injury…
#136 All trolling aside, you couldn’t be more ignorant of what a Marine is if you tried. Just a hint. Sgt Dakota Meyer, our recent Medal of Honor recipient, disobeyed a direct order, which resulted in his nomination for the MOH. If you were never a Marine, you will never understand, so do everyone a favor and quit speculating.
#136….we have interservice rivalry where things similar to that are said between branches (I am a US Army Vet) but we maintain respect for one another even when we poke fun…you obviously have some chip on your shoulder towards authority, and/or those who take the oath and, in various ways, protect this nation from those who reside beyond our shores, who…much like yourself, hate this country and what it stands for…that very protection allows you to speak poorly of those men, who are better than you, and your statement reflects more upon YOUR character than it does the men you attempt to denigrate…
I salute all Squids, Cracker Jacks, Zoomies, Fly Boys, Jarheads, Leathernecks, Bullet Catchers, Puddle Pirats, and fellow Grunts….and…Fuck that guy! he’s a douche
I hereby nominate Slammersworld for priceless line of the day. I am also the judge. Congratulations!
“I salute all Squids, Cracker Jacks, Zoomies, Fly Boys, Jarheads, Leathernecks, Bullet Catchers, Puddle Pirats, and fellow Grunts….and…Fuck that guy! he’s a douche.”
Hey Hunter, in #’s 124-126, you make some claims that really do make you look like an ass.
“If he was such a nonhacker how did he last 2 tours?”. Easy, he didn’t go outside the wire. It’s out there, and been pointed out to Occutards like you.
“Progressive minds refuse to be locked up”. Nah, progressive “minds” refuse to sober up.
“It only identifies you as a brainwashed follower
republicanOccutard with no real skillset”.“Scott wasn’t shot”> Now, that’s something we can agree on, he wasn’t shot, he was boinked in the noggin by another limp-wristed Occutard.
#141: you forgot bubble heads, frog men, pecker checkers, canker mechanics (last two are both names for Medics/Corpsmen), track heads, gun bunnies, spooks, Air Dales, Zoomies, and mud feets.
You guys are killing me.
So Ya’ll hate the Marine Corps.,Well you have plenty of money from “doing your Marine thing”and of course all the other Free Benefits the GOVT. gives you for hating them.
Real Cute.
Enjoy
#145 this is a blog about Scott Olsen’s “I hate the Marine Corps” I don’t see a large contingent hating on the Marines here…there are a few, but that isn’t the general tone of the comment thread.
How do you draw that conclusion?
sorry…I meant #146 J Miller…
The Marines fought and died especially in the WW2 campaign
against the Japanese. Thank God we had men willing to put
their life on the line to stop the insanity of Japan because it denied other human beings the right to live peacefully as they desired; it had to be a dictatorship type of life, without freedom to think and speak differently, where creative change or divergent ideas could not be tolerated. The Japanese wanted to feel powerful and for everyone else to respect them, so they decided to use their military to force that on the world. The Marines were therefore, fighting for democracy. Isn’t that what democracy is about, the feedom to allow different points of view and willingness to question authority and traditions without putting someone down for it? Why is it heresy to question something even about the Marines, who fought for the very right to do so?
You guys should really read more than the headline of these posts…it’ll prevent you from becoming a caricature. It’s not me who hates the Marines, it’s that Scott Olsen dude.
Clay. Pay attention in school today. You might learn something.
Clay–are you fucking serious?
Hey scumbag. 4-year boot lance, I bet you did hate the Marine Corps, because apparently you were a lazy shitbag that couldn’t make rank. Big surprise, the Corps isn’t a forgiving organization.
Get F* yourself idiot.
