EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK:
Why I felt
compelled to Write This Book
It is at the end of this story that I decide to share with you,
why I wrote this book. I did it for many reasons.
Originally,
this story was part of a bigger book, what was intended to be my
first book, titled:
MOST PEOPLE TALK
BULLSHIT – One Primate’s Search For Intelligent Life!
(GENESIS)
The first book
was intended to address many of the issues I talk about in this
book and to use as a method to achieve personal redemption for
the horror I have experienced and the evil I have committed in
response to mindless bureaucratic evil, by both government
agencies and individuals within and outside such agencies
I decided to
take this section from my first book and present it as it’s own
stand-alone story. I wanted to focus more directly at what our
men and women in the armed services have faced in the past and
what they likely face now… today, in our United States Armed
Forces.
I want people
to know the true reason why most young men and women enlist in
today’s military. I want to share with the reader the utter
disappointment I feel from the appalling lack of real support
our troops in Iraq get here at home from our legislators and
even our citizens. (Only a few give enough help).
To help you to
better understand, I have to first unburden myself of all of the
good and the bad that I experienced from joining the Marines. I
wanted to share this story with Marines, Ex-Marines, Non-Marines
and civilians alike and tell them that I have mixed feelings
about my time in the Marine Corp; such as pride, shame, sorrow
and nostalgia.
As you no doubt
can tell from reading this book, the Marine Corp has had a major
impact on my life; as it has in the lives of many people.
The Corp has
both installed and instilled many habits and idiosyncrasies
that have survived to this day. This is true in almost all
Marines.
I can see it
from time-to-time as I go through my day-to-day work-a-day
civilian life. I often spot these same tell tale signs in other
men that they to were once part of the Green Machine.
I see young
guys, old guys, fat guys and sadly more than a few occasions -
homeless guys. I see them in movie lines, at supper markets,
Pizza Huts and even standing in front of a urinal at AA
meetings.
There is often
a certain look in their eyes; they sometimes have a firm resolve
in the set of their jaw, a ramrod straight posture as they stand
at a modified parade-rest as they piss in the urinal.
It is often by
the way they move on the balls and heels of their feet whenever
they turn left-face, right-face. It is the way they sit in their
seats at Pizza Hut as they shove pizza into their chow holes.
All of these
tell tale signs are often there, even if the rest of their
appearance and manner is in disarray and corrupt.
Yes, going
through Boot Camp and surviving the Marines has instilled within
me, a sense of accomplishment.
No matter what
has happened in life the memory of meeting and surviving the
challenges of the Crotch as made it possible to endure
many of the hardships that life has thrown at me.
I have often
thought that my experience in the Marines has taught me to not
only to survive the rigors of life, after all, people will
either survive or die;
I believe that
perhaps the Marines have helped me to go beyond merely being
content to survive, but to strive and thrive.
From my time in
the Marines and of course my life I have collected a repertoire
of experiences of what I have catalogued and filed in my memory
banks of which I can constantly draw from.
Obviously, this
all sounds as if I feel a certain pride from being in the
Marines and that I have benefited from my time in the Crotch.
Yes, I do feel
a measure of pride and I have benefited in some ways from my
time in the Corp.
I am also at times
prone to wax nostalgic.
However, I am
not without certain feelings of bitterness, remorse and I have a
large measure of judgment and condemnation of the Marine Corp
(actually, all military branches).
But first,
allow me to digress; I want to go on record that I am against
war, however, because of many stark realities that exist in the
world today, I also acknowledge our need for a strong and well
organized military.
I just want to
emphasis from my years of experience and witnessing the mindless
knee jerk behavior of government bureaucracies and the people
that run these unorganized machines; we could be much more
effective to prevent conflicts and war around the world… if we
have the iron within us to be more disciplined and organized –
as both individuals and nations.
How can we
accomplish this you may ask?
A good
question, and to find the answer to such a question, we have to
first understand all of the mechanisms as to the what-for and
whys that we have such a love affair with violence, war and
admiration for those who serve in the military.
What makes our
military and other government agencies so disorganized – despite
their power?
How is it that
a person can become so disciplined and organized in a narrow
military sense while they serve their time in the military and
yet, often, every other aspect of their life is such a
disorganized cluster fuck?
Why do the most
squared away and disciplined people in the Marines often become
disorganized shit-birds as the years pass after their stint in
the Marines is over?
The answers are
actually and alarmingly quite simple. The fact is despite what
you may think, most people as individuals and groups do not
possess their own thoughts and ideas.
Most people,
groups, organizations and governments are slaves to mindless
social conditioning programs.
These programs
are installed in each of us as individuals and of course
organizations and governments have their own special brand of
social conditioning programs of which they install in the group
mind of everyone in their sphere of influence.
It must be
emphasized that social programs in of them selves are not always
inherently evil or less than optimal.
It all depends
on the program, the person or organization and it depends on the
mission or objective that has to be accomplished.
Some
organizations have and follow a protocol of using very powerful,
organized and methodical social conditioning programs to achieve
their ends – such as the Marines or the Catholic Church to give
two of many examples. (At least during initial indoctrination
such as Boot Camp
and Catholic Grade School after which conflicting
programs corrupt the underlying operating platform that had been
so assiduously installed).
Other
organizations such as FEMA, the Postal Service, and most
government agencies are woefully disorganized and are not very
methodical. They only follow protocols of installing both
powerful and weak social conditioning programs that are often in
direct conflict with each other; this causes their employees to
be disgruntled and far less effective than they could be to
their organization and to the public that they have sworn and
are paid to serve.
As individuals
and family units we also install many programs into each other;
most of which are unorganized protocols that are in direct
conflict with each other.
For example,
people say they are against violence, yet they mindlessly give
kudos and high regard to those in the military
Men find that
it is easier to attract women and get laid, if they have a
uniform and crow about their military exploits, of derring-do
and even killing – for God and country of course. And the more
beautiful the uniforms – such as Marine Dress Blues – the easier
it is to get laid.
Even the men
who exude a private sadness of the horrors they experienced in
war and the violence they committed will often find that their
reticence to discuss such things except in the most peripheral
of ways, are also able to tug at the heartstrings of many
females – and condolence sex is often in the wings.
Another example
to see our mindless conditioning to glorify violence and the
monetary and sexual rewards for those who excel at such
violence; just look at our culture’s love of action films,
football, hockey, boxing and nowadays the increased popularity
of ‘Ultimate Fighting’.
When you think
about it, at a certain level, it is understandable. We all
admire people who are competent. We admire people who are tough
of mind, body and spirit and this is especially true that women
admire such competence.
We are after
all primates and at a brainstem level woman are attracted to
males that exhibit high levels of strength, intelligence,
durability, competence and courage. At the brainstem level, they
want the seed of an alpha male who will pass on good genes and
be the most effective in protecting and raising their wives and
kids.
Makes sense,
doesn’t it?
It makes the
best sense, except when you look deeper into what we as
individuals and a culture mistake as being truly strong,
intelligent, durable, competent and courageous.
When most
people hear about me being in the Marines to fight for my
country and surviving and even enjoying the rigors of boot camp
– they foolishly think that I am by nature very brave.
Nothing could
be further from the truth!
I am by nature optimistic and yet also a little meek and fearful
and insecure.
I, like most
people, joined the military because of the brainwashing or
misinformation that our families and society as a whole had
installed in us.
I, along with
many of my fellow servicemen where sold a sorry bill of goods.
Most people
hearing this from me for the first time are shocked. Some of
these people will try to minimize what they think is an
acknowledgement of my mistake to join the Marines by lavishing
me with compliments.
They will
invariably tell me that I am still so very tough for making it
through the most rigorous of military boot camps.
They are
disappointed when I tell them that most reasonably healthy
people can make it through Marine Corp boot camp; that most
people have no choice.
They don’t
understand that the Drill Instructors force on each recruit the
level of conditioning that is needed for each of us to attain to
become the machines that will serve our country’s needs.
Many of these
people don’t want to hear such shit and they desperately try to
hold on to the image of only the very best caliber of people
make it through the Marines.
To bolster
their arguments, they will often tell me that almost half of my
platoon or practically every platoon in Marine boot camp has a
large percentage of people that washes out, because they are
unfit both physically and mentally.
I must be
someone special to have made it through and with such joy.
I am forced to
tell them, that yes some people are unfit and unsuited to be
Marines or in the military, that they are weak physically and
mentally.
However, I am
quick to point out that this has more to do with the pitiful
programs installed during childhood, or the lack of necessary
programs that their parents and family had failed to impart or
were unwilling to instill.
I often shake
up these lovers of the military when I tell them that a few of
the people that washed out of boot camp may have been in fact
stronger than most of the men who graduated boot camp.
In fact, I
argue that a few of these washouts, may have had a strong sense
of who they were and that they could not be broken like a horse,
but perhaps they were like many stallions, ostracized for their
independent ways and sometimes shot for not kowtowing to the
mediocrity of society.
(Most people
that wash out do not fall into the extremely small percentage of
people that I classify as stallions. After reading this, they
would not doubt point at their failures of making it through any
type of training or organization; as proof that they’re in fact
stallions. That is bullshit. Stallions are those rare people
that make their ilk apparent from their mannerisms and habits
and accomplishments in life.)
Sadly, but
truthfully, I was not such a rare person. I was like most
people, adrift in the world, malleable, compliant and obedient.
What is sadder
still, was that I was so unformed, so un-socialized, so
desperate to belong to an ideal of excellence and a high
functioning familial unit, that initially, I was even joyous in
my obedience.
Initially,
however only initially, I was the type of sheep that would have
been joyfully singing the National Anthem as we were herded to
the slaughter.
Now I ask you,
honestly, is that an indication that I was a boy brimming over
with courage?
Was my behavior
and acceptance of the Green Machine a portent that I am the
stuff of legends?
If your answer
is yes; then all I can say is that there is a fine niche’ in
Postal Management or a position as union officer for the
APWU waiting for you!
I want to weep
whenever a young man or woman tells me that they want to join
the military, particularly the Marines to serve their country.
Not because I
have anything against the Marines or the military per se,
but it is because of their mindless condition and reasons for
wanting to join bother me.
When I asked
them why they want to join the Marines, invariably their eyes
will glaze over as the automatically parrot, “It’s the toughest
branch of service to join. I want to serve my country. I want to
become tough. I want to help protect third world countries from
evil forces that is trying to steal their rights, their
freedoms.” (I get a chill when sometimes, their voices would
sound just like President Bush’s voice.)
I always
respond by telling them that they could join the Peace Corp;
they could be active in many levels of their community; they
could get involved in charity both local and international.
Invariably, it
comes up again that they want to be tough and they want the
benefits of the physical training that the military,
particularly the Marines will provide.
Invariably I
tell them to begin a well-rounded strength and conditioning
program at a local gym.
Often they will
tell me that they want to join the military to learn how to kick
ass.
In response I
suggest they join any number of martial arts studios to learn
self-defense and if they wanted more then they could compete in
any of those disciplines… even Ultimate Fighting; as they are
doing community service.
I recognize
that the problem with my suggestions is that they all would
require a level of discipline that would necessitate their
taking action on their own.
What they
really want, is someone to tell them what to do and once they
are sucked in and told what to do; they would buck and bridle
and resent and whine about the organization or person they so
willing submitted their life to - telling them what to do.
But the sad
fact is, they need to be told what to do and as much as they
hate it (and they should) they are at a loss as how to make
their way in the world without someone… often times anyone
telling them what to do, or how to act.
I try to warn
these well-meaning unformed, unguided young people, but usually
to no avail.
Almost always,
their eyes will stay glazed as they automatically, mechanically
tell me that they want to follow in their father’s or some
hero’s footsteps.
These blind
automatons are unable to shake off our culture’s social
conditioning, the TV commercials telling us that if you join the
Army, you can “Be all that you can be!”
The Navy tells
us that, “It’s not a job; Its an adventure!”
The Marines
still tell us that we can be, “The Few, The Proud, The Marines!”
or “It’s hard to be humble, when you’re proud!”
These randomly
formed humans and their randomly formed parents are swayed by
the commercials that the Army puts on TV, showing the parents
that if their children join the military, then they will become
the type of sons and daughters that they wished for but failed
to raise properly on their own.
Their son will
be able to look them in the eye as they shake their hand. (Where
did that come from, the tough ole’ farmer asks his son?).
The teenagers
of course believe that if they join the military, they will
finally get the respect, acceptance and perhaps the level of
love that they crave from their parents.
We are all
inclined to ignore all of what I have said and instead we look
at certain pragmatic needs, such as, the need for both
employment and the money to further our education and vocational
training; since our public schools systems generally prove
inadequate to the tasks.
The commercials
on TV show us a grateful mother and father for the military
willing to give money for college to their child once they are
finished with their tour of duty and mercenary duties to kill.
Little do they
realize that the money they will earn will maybe cover most of
their tuition and books… maybe. It certainly does not cover
other necessary living expenses.
Which would be
okay, if the recipients of these benefits could also be
guaranteed both employment and class schedules that meshed well
enough to attend to both their financial needs and their
attendance.
Most parents
and kids do not realize that both the colleges that they want to
attend and the government require near perfect attendance to
qualify keeping the benefits and the right to stay enrolled.
They don’t
realize that the realities of today’s world; makes this obstacle
very hard if not impossible to meet.
The commercials
showing the teenage boy or girl reasoning with their parent in a
manner more adult or mature than their close-minded parents does
not warn you of the treachery ahead.
Nor is their
any indication as they extol all of the opportunities that they
will receive while they are in the reserves, as they serve
active duty, and after they fulfill their patriotic obligations
certainly do not address this sad fact.
No one wants to
look at this too closely, or the fact that they should
have been putting money aside for their children long before
they were born.
Most people
with whom I end up sharing my experiences of the Marines are
quick to tell me that my time in was not a complete wash since
by my own admission, The Corp gave me loads of life experiences
that passed on to me the assurances that I could at least handle
most stuff life had to throw at me.
But is that
true? After all, why is it then that a lot of ex-marines do not
fare very well when they come back to the real world?
Is it possible,
that the Marines are not the only family that can impart life
skills, discipline, integrity, confidence, and espirt de corp?
Is it possible that actual families and communities can run well
enough to do a better job of raising remarkable human beings?
I think they
can.
In fact it is
what they should be doing.
But, before I touch on this, allow me to digress once more.
Allow me to get back to my belief that for me the Marines
did help to instill in me the knowledge and the desire to
survive and thrive.
Does my being
in the Marine Corp give me an edge that civilians can’t get?
Some people
argue that as a population of people, the percentage of Marines
that develop more iron to live and live fully is much higher
than the percentage of the population of people who have never
been in the military, especially the Marines.
I believe that
most likely the percentages are higher for ex-marines to
do better in the real world.
So why is it
then that too many other ex-marines do not seem to have this
fire within once they are out of the embrace of the Corp?
Why is it that
the Marine Corp is able to instill dramatic changes in young men
and women in just thirteen weeks; when seemingly loving parents
fail to instill more than the most bare-bones and basic socially
acceptable behavior in the eighteen years that their kids have
been on their watch?
Why are their
children disorganized, undisciplined, random human beings?
The answer to
many of these questions is actually not that complex. So simple
in fact, it disturbs me that all parents, communities and
organizations and government agencies do not follow these simple
protocols that make the Marines and Navy Seals so effective?
Before I address these issues questions or the answers, I want
to go on record and say that it is not necessarily tough times
that build our character… although tough times sometimes can be
the forge that instills needed change in people; as would a
quote from Emerson would indicate:
“On the debris of our despair we build our character.” ---
Emerson
I believe what
is more correct is that tough times is more of a test of a
person’s character, a test of the fire and iron that is within
them to provide the metallurgical mix so the are constantly able
to steel themselves against whatever life brings them.
The example of these individuals are summarized nicely by this:
“There
is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my
sufferings”--- Dostoevsky
It is these
people that has more of the stuff that Navy Seals have, that
only a very few Marines have.
Most people
respond to this last statement, telling me that they thought I
was against war, and that we do not need the Marines or the
military to inspire and implant these qualities within our
children or even ourselves.
These people
wonder if I think that the only military service worth entering
is the Navy Seals.
Most people mistakenly believe that I think everyone should join
the Navy Seals or be exactly like Navy Seals to learn best how
to adapt to all the rigors of life.
The answer to
this is both – Yes and No.
Allow me to
explain this ambiguous answer.
First however,
I want to say that very few Marines have the stuff of Navy
Seals, or Marine Recon, or Army Special Forces or Delta Force;
but only insofar as to what drives them or motivates them
internally.
Everyone is
impressed with Navy Seals and the other ‘special units’ within
each branch of the military… me included.
Nowadays, Navy
Seals are getting all the hype and rightly so. People are told
that Navy Seals are physically the toughest dudes in our armed
forces… even tougher than Marines, and certainly tougher than
any other branch of the armed forces; and they are.
However, it is
not their physical toughness, strength or conditioning that sets
them apart from Marines or soldiers in the other branches of the
military.
It is not that
they are trained with the use of military technology that other
servicemen could not handle. It is their mental toughness that
sets them apart. Mental toughness is not to be confuses with
their intelligence, although none of them are dummies.
It is their
iron of will!
Many Marines
right out of boot camp possess the physical toughness to qualify
for Navy Seals. Most Marines and even many servicemen in other
branches of the military have the physical potential to reach
the level of strength, agility and conditioning to become Navy
Seals.
You may ask,
“Why then do not more servicemen try to become Navy Seals?
To answer this,
remember back to the story in this book. In boot camp every
recruit had volunteered or they were pressured to join; however
if given the choice only ten recruits at best would have stayed
in boot camp if given the choice to quit.
The only reason
why fifty-some recruits instead of ten graduated from Marine
boot camp in this story is because they were pushed and prodded
and punished and sometimes beaten to perform.
Every waking
second of the day for thirteen weeks the recruits of Marine Corp
boot camp are constantly overwhelmed with various external
brainwashing techniques to implant desired behavioral programs.
As tough as
Marines become, they are actually like most humans in that they
will do the least that is minimally required of them. They will
often try and get away with less than what is minimally
required.
The same can be
said about parents, lovers, friends, teachers, government
employees, and yes, our world leaders.
Navy Seals and
the men and women in the other special-forces units are of a
different ilk. They are different because they are the rarest
type of people; most of who are actually sovereign beings. They
are internally driven. They constantly install within
themselves that they can accomplish anything or die in the
effort.
They, unlike
recruits in Marine Corp boot camp can quit their training
anytime they want. In fact they are constantly encourage by
their instructors to do so.
Let me give you
an example of how rare these individuals are: Out of one hundred
Marine recruits only ten have the internal iron to go through
boot camp if given the choice that they can leave at anytime
without repercussions.
Out of this ten
percent, only ten to fifty percent of these few will have the
stuff to make it through Recon or other special military units.
I say it is closer to fifty percent, (five out of the ten).
Out of these
five, only one or two of these rare people would survive Navy
Seal Training.
I am told by
some of the Seals I know, that there are many Navy Seal training
cycles ending with everyone washing out.
Navy Seals are
rarely built anything like Arnold Schwarzenegger; very few of
them are the martial artists that Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee or
Jackie Chan are. They are not necessarily world-class
decathletes. Nor are they psychotic killers kept on short-leash
and released when needed.
In fact I have
met Seals who were not in better physical conditions] than I had
been when I was in the Marines, and many of them were not even
as agile as I had been, or as strong, or as smart. (Although
there are many who are better than me in every department)
Yet, this does
not guarantee that I have the stuff of Seals. In fact my Navy
Seal friends tell me that that the number of men who are
champion athletes in various fields of endeavors, such as power
lifting, track and field, martial arts, swimming, gymnastics and
have stellar intelligence and education that try out for the
Navy Seals and fail are legion.
Obviously,
these rare champions are more likely to have the internal
drive to achieve than most Marines and certain most people,
however, they had lacked that one ingredient essential to mental
toughness; and that is to strive towards your goals at all cost;
to never compromise your agendas; to put your all on the line -
even your life.
It is tough to
reach the levels of expertise and performance that even the
people who fail to become a Seal. It takes an enormous amount of
discipline and commitment to become the across the board
athletes and scholars as the people described. However, it is
easy to push yourself to high levels or performance that you
know you can achieve and have previously.
However, it is
another matter to find yourself beyond all previous limits. This
is what separates the Navy Seals and other people.
Most of the
people who graduate from Navy Seal training do so, not because
they performed at superhuman levels, but because they simply
would not quit, regardless of how cold and wet and sore and
hungry and injured and sick and sleep deprived and regardless if
they nearly drowned or were knocked out or passed out or nearly
died or even failed to complete a number of tasks assigned to
them.
Another key
element of their character is that despite their over-arching
desire to become Navy Seals, they would never think to leave an
injured team mate behind.
Even if they
believed that by helping their team mate to carry a load, or to
actually carry their team mate meant that by helping their team
mate their personal performance would be compromised and
therefore bugger their chances to pass Seal training.
These are men
and women that would risk every thing to protect their team and
to accomplish their mission.
What does all
of this have to do with my belief that we do not need military
training to become as tough as Marines or Navy Seals, you may
ask?
Another
question you may ask is, “What does this have to do with why
Marine Corp boot camp is more successful at creating dramatic
changes in young men women than their parents?
Fair questions!
Easy to answer
and soon we will reach the final conclusion together.
It all comes
down to possessing the requisite ‘Internal’ drive
to do what is logical and optimal in every endeavor in our
lives; for our selves as individuals and for those peoples or
groups that matter or should matter in our lives.
Some people
learn this on their own without the benefit of proper parenting.
These people stumble upon this randomly because during many
random moments and events that happen in each of our lives; the
people in this category managed to have moments of mental
clarity that they latch on to and something crystallizes within
them to randomly become the type of people who will captain
their own destinies.
Sometimes by
chance the military will do this for a few individuals and they
stay this course even years after service as the other people
they served with fail in life; fail because they no longer have
anyone to force them to excel and therefore fall into
corruption.
Some of the
random people that manage to become self-motivators do so,
because of a key person or people in their life or event may
spark something inside of them. (For me it has been my mother
and some of my friends that I have given credit too in this
book)
Mostly however,
people who excel and especially those who develop the iron to
have powerful internal mechanisms to install in themselves their
own programs or to take and bend to their liking the programs of
other people or organizations – are generally people that have
come from remarkable families.
Sadly, as I
have said, most individuals, families, groups, and organizations
are disorganized, undisciplined and rifled with conflicting
values and mission goals.
Most parents
fail to do in a lifetime what the Marines do for their children
in thirteen weeks.
Is this because it is
impossible in today’s world to achieve this level of positive
influence on one’s own children?
The answer is
no, it is not impossible, but, most parents fail to raise their
children to be the way the want them to be, because they
themselves are not what they want their children to become.
They must
become walking, talking, living examples of what they want from
their children.
They must in
fact spend large blocks of time instructing their children and
themselves to be fully functional; and to do this they have to
be like the Navy Seals and even the Marine Corp.
They like the
Navy Seals and the Marines must have an over-arching mission for
themselves and their families, and as these two organizations,
they must not have conflicting programs or protocols, but must
in fact have all programs work smoothly together.
Like the Seals,
parents must leave no stone unturned towards their mission. They
must put their all into raising their children to be the best
that they can – even if it means their life.
This rule also
applies not to just parents but to individuals, families,
relationships, friendships, business partnerships, groups and
organizations such as unions, businesses, government agencies,
legislators and obviously governments as a whole.
The qualities I
ask that all of us should install within ourselves is not easy…
it does in fact take stones, iron, guts… but it means a life
examined, uncompromised and truly worth living; and we don’t
need to join the Marines or Navy Seals to accomplish greatness.
We have living
examples all around us that have achieved this level of
competence and most without military training.
