http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/10/us/marines-gun-control-ireport/index.html?hpt=ju_c2So Marine #2 (DiOrio) thinks the fact we have a strong army (military) now means "the People" don't need to be armed. And this man called the
other Marine "an embarrassment to those who've served." It seems to me that DiOrio's education was sorely deficient in the Civics and American History area, and if anyone is an embarrassment to those who have served, it is he.
He is so unaware that he doesn't even know the Bushmaster used in Newtown was NOT an "assault weapon," because Connecticut still has an assault weapons ban in force and the Bushy was purchased legally in Connecticut.
Typically, the rule is "Once a Marine, always a Marine." I respect those Marine friends of mine who are no longer on active or reserve duty to still refer to them as "Marines," not "ex-Marines." This DiOrio dude, though, is an ex-Marine. He is undeserving of the title United States Marine.
It's interesting, and possibly instructive, that the photo of Boston shows him with a rifle, and the photo of DiOrio shows him with a camera. I suspect DiOrio was a REMF, which devalues his opinion in comparison to that of a man who has likely been in combat.
