The Pepto Bismol loons are at it again. This time they’ve taken their pink stink to a Marine Officer Recruiting office in Berkeley, where they defaced the building and accused the Marine recruiter of lies that killed children (original ain’t it?)

The Marine who runs the office wrote an open letter to the hatemongers explaining his job and questioned why they would attack his office. Answer: they are anti-American.

First, a little bit about who I am: I am a Marine captain with over eight years of service as a commissioned officer. I flew transport helicopters for most of my time in the Marine Corps before requesting orders to come here. Currently, I am the officer selection officer for the northern Bay Area. My job is to recruit, interview, screen, and evaluate college students and college graduates that show an interest in becoming officers in the Marine Corps. Once they’ve committed to pursuing this program, I help them apply, and if selected, I help them prepare for the rigors of Officer Candidate School and for the challenges of life as a Marine officer. To be eligible for my programs, you have to be either a full-time college student or a college graduate. I don’t pull anyone out of school, and high school students are not eligible.

The Marines need our support, so head out to the office and show ‘em what you got!!
