Re: USMC initiates no alcohol Islamic policy
ok what does this have to do with islam? they dont want
people operating big fire arms in a combat zone while their
drunk Because innocent people can die. Just like you cant
drive while your drunk. What makes you think its smart to
be drunk while on duty? You well get yourself killed and or
other. War is not a game, and drinking on duty, is the stupidest thing. Drink while off duty thats fine, but i think
they want you to maintain a clean and healthy lifestyle. But i failed to see how this is an Islamic policy? I must say tho, cause you deserved it. You pretty stupid, im amazed.

According to the article, the blood alcohol content limit has been set so low that a Marine drinking off-duty could still be over the limit the following morning.

They've set it so low that a man who drinks half a beer or a woman who drinks one third of a beer would be over the limit.

According to the doctor interviewed, even a Marine who gargled with mouthwash within the last 20 minutes would register above the new limit.

I guess you guys don't care that our Marines can't have a fucking beer.

Al Queda doesn't let their guys have beer either.

It's not like they get much out there now! When they are overseas they pretty much work or need to be ready to work 24/7, so it makes sense.
Plus if you guys knew how much sexual assault plays a roll in combat... Well, alcohol just isn't a good mix in such a senario maybe?

People want to drink. People like to drink. If you take away their freedom to do so then you increase the crime rate by proxy, you decrease the freedom to be stupid, you increase intelligence among smuggler marines.

This has stupid written all over it.

It's a very puritan move, a beer off-duty is a fundamental right, imho.

A drunk guy is the last person I would want watching my back in combat. No need to drink at work anyway. Also, no where in that article does it say anything about muslims or islam.

Its the same no tolerance policy that they have towards non- psychoactive THC metabolites. They will get you for an insanely low level of those...even if you are no at all impaired. Science has nothing to do with it, in the case of THC.

[link to www.theweedblog.com]

Sounds more like the USMC is trying to change their culture?

[link to www.usmc-mccs.org]

The Marine Corps objective is to eliminate alcohol abuse. Combating the debilitating threat posed by alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency on both Marines and mission readiness requires a total commitment from all levels of leadership. Leaders must be alert to characteristics of alcohol abuse and with the symptoms of the disease of alcohol dependency. All leaders must not in any way promote or condone alcohol misuse.

Re: USMC initiates no alcohol Islamic policy
When you willingly and legally sign away your very body to , of all things, the government, then you got no right to say shit. You take exactly what you're given. You chose to kill innocents. You chose to work 70 hour weeks for half of what a McDonald's clerk makes. You chose to get 30 vaccinations at once with an air gun with something added that changes you.

I know cause I'm a vet. I couldn't wait to get out. Americans don't know what it's like to live under a dictatorship but veterans do. It ain't fun and it ain't pretty.

So I say take away their beer. They aren't entitled to anything except 3 hots and a cot and a measly pittance of a payday. And if they don't like that then there can only be one logical solution, don't sign up.

Re: USMC initiates no alcohol Islamic policy
Good for the Marines.

I remember my 21st birthday... drank so much Vodka, it was oozing from my pores the next day. I reeked of it. Had to see the gunny that day... stood in the doorway to his office... he let me get away with that, thank God!

I also worked for a county government. They had a ZERO tolerance policy. And, we got piss tested all the time. It was supposed to be "random". However, I got picked all the time. Interesting, since it was well known that I did not drink.

I think they hated firing people. It happened, though.

Nothing to see here on this thread.

An alcohol level of .01 brings disciplinary action. That truly is a bit ridiculous.

bsflag ...BAC testing at the unit level will save 3-5 hour of time and resources by not having to take a suspect Marine to the hospital for testing. Good tool...I don't want a Marine who's impaired in any way to operate lethal weapons or control aircraft with people on board. Should not have to explain all the problems caused by alcohol. It's just another tool to help maintain the highest standards in the Armed Forces. Semper Fi
