I grew up with a lot of guys that really didn’t have anything going on so a bunch joined the military. Years later, the guys that joined the Marines are mostly OK, but the guys that served in the Navy are mostly out of shape obnoxious know-it-alls who love Trump and think that because you didn’t serve in the military you don’t know shit about anything.

And yet, when you ask them about their time in the Navy, all you get is multiple stories about either some homo erotic shit being done on the ship while they’re in the middle of the sea, or all of the times they got gonorrhea from their time in ports like Subic Bay and Thailand.

Ah yes Marines are famously well adjusted individuals.

I like the part about Navy guys being the pro-Trump ones, and not the Marines lol.

Every Marine I know acts like they took personality lessons from Andrew Tate and is full blown MAGA.

All my Navy buddies are the complete opposite, mostly liberal and keep to themselves and never mention their service unless asked.
