Semper Fi: Always Faithful (2011)
Roedy's comment
Roedy's comment display's a fundamental lack of understanding of the U.S. Marine Corps, as well as all military service. Per his comments about the movie being boring: that is an individual opinion that I don't agree with. However, his comments regarding the motivations of service members, why they signed up, or that their decision to serve should make their children suffer (unsympathetically) is beyond revolting.
Roedy has a deep ignorance of the motivation of military members to serve. I, like many of my fellow Marines, felt a calling to serve, to protect our country, our constitution, and our fellow citizens. I wanted to ensure that we, our children, and their children, would continue to enjoy the freedoms that we were blessed with.
There is a big difference between being shot at or being exposed to chemical weapons from the enemy vs. being unknowingly exposed to toxic chemicals stateside. It's even worse when leaders that you put your faith in break that trust by hiding the facts for years. This movie helps show this injustice, and helps many Marines and their families understand what happened to them.
