Follow DoD Orders ✯ The Few, The Proud ✯

Follow DoD Orders!
As we all know by now some days ago Congress and JCS parted ways after the last issue in a long list of issues could not be settled. There have been many articles about this, written by different people with different positions(congressmen, president, JCS member, eUS Military member or civilians). Considering this I will assume most of you know what the conflict is about.
First off I want to say that i will refer to the former official eUS Military simply with the phrase "military" in this article. If you do not like it you can just stop reading now.
One of the consequences of this split between Congress and JCS was sort of a civil war, where , as HisAirness himself pointed out on IRC, "brother fights against brother". This can be seen all over the news/forums/IRC. Militia and congress supporters attack and troll the Military. We fight back and present our side of the story. This has been ongoing for quite some time now, but we all need to be remembered from time to time that WE are all on the same side! We all fight for eUSA.
Until now the miltary has managed to keep its cool and although we lost members we were, and still are for that matter, keeping our ground. Unfortunately yesterday something happened. The Senior Officers of the Marines decided it was for the best for the US Marines, highest branch in the US Military, to go back and join the newly formed Congress Army ( or American Armed Forces). This being said each and every marine was presented with a choice to leave with the officers or stay with the commander of the marines and the rest of the military and continue without funding from Congress.
This was quite a hit for the USMC since we lost our Senior Officers and quite a few members. I do not condemn the ones that left, but in fact I wish them the best of luck. But I wanted to make a statement: We are still here! The Marines are still in business of ass-whooping! While some left there were also others, like me, who decided to stick around what is, and has been, our home for months or years.
We may have lost members, We may have lost companies or our funding, but We still have our fighting spirit! And we will always have that! Because We are The United States Marine Corps!
While we might be down in numbers, this only makes us work harder to achieve our goals. So watch out on the battlefield guys, the Marines will come blasting in to help you if you find yourself surrounded by serbs!
The only regret I have regarding this situation we are in, is the fact that political struggle has managed to throw us one against the other, brother against brother. And this has led to the marines being split into two groups, thus breaking up one of the strongest international group of military men, with a long history in eRepublik. And there is no one man to blame for that, no, we are all to blame for that. But I promise you this, I will work my ass off as will the other marines and we will keep the USMC to the high standards it deserves.

I just want to point out that the new military is operated under the DoD and is executively run. I don't under stand why people are calling it the "congress army", as you put it. Congress has no say in how it operates.
The Marines have one kick ass fighting spirit full of whoop-ass!
eUS is loosing every active battle????

In my opinion the congress asked for new "army" to be made. So I'm sure they make the calls. @Emerick

I learned nothing. I would love if someone could present the ratio of Bradlee Bunch marines vs. American marines, though.
Marines > Congressional Safety Patrol 😛

HOOAH!
@Vladimir there are still people deciding what they want to do, so no clear information can be given there. I can tell you that so far the split was almost half and half though.
The military will always remain strong, even if its not liked, it is the hardest hitting organized group in the eUS. Trying to destroy it will destroy the coordination of our attacks as a country.
>In my opinion the congress asked for new "army" to be made. So I'm sure they make the calls. @Emerick
I assure you that they do not make the calls. Congress wanted accountability in our military, and by putting in under the president and SecDef, its leadership is accountable to congress and the people.

Go Marines!
Semper Fi.
Do any of you even know what Semper Fi means? Because it means Always Faithful, as in to your country and your government, which is exactly the opposite of this. Get a new motto. Just sayin.
@wpack10: News flash, we never stopped being faithful to the eUSA. In regard to the "gov't" we didn't leave them--they left us a long time ago.
To quote an Old Mater: "Shut up and fight!"
Faithful to government IT IA A GAME but then again I always fought where the eUSA told me to fight. The problem is the players who decided not to fight "in the GAME" decided to break old alliances make enemies of old friends and when it did not turn out well the blame people like me !!!!!
accountability in our military.... make me gag.
I spend 20 gold a day my own pocket what did they give me two tanks? 30 USD; maybe 1/2 a gold a day.
I will really miss it.
IT IA A GAME
Than stop calling yourselves marines, chanting semper fi, and acting like you sacrifice so much for the country.
(Not directed at you, but the group in general)
Support the military and the JCS!
I support the people of the eUSA. I hope that its elected Congress and its established military leadership can once more come to civil terms. Neither side is willing to accept compromise for now, but when the sting of this disagreement fades, I believe we will be and remain one nation, indivisible, with liberty and a whole lot of ass-whoopin' for anyone who stands against us.
You should learn your history.
"Do any of you even know what Semper Fi means? Because it means Always Faithful, as in to your country and your government, which is exactly the opposite of this. Get a new motto. Just sayin."
It is 'Always Faithful' to country and Corps. There is nothing in there about "Congress" or "government".
I say you should pipe down.
Oh yeah, Semper Fi \o/

Good luck.
Walk tall.
Why can't there be a like a board with 5 congress men and 5 military members that cab come together and restructure the old military that way people from both sides can get there view points in? This would be thbest way to handle it and also get rid of the egos that are a major part in this
Yeah! Voted
