Hypocrisy in the Marines.


I think there has been many time when I have either witnessed or confronted hypocrisy, however, the time period in which it actually stands out is back when I was in the Marines; that is mainly because when we were deployed I saw many of my friends come back to the US to find out that while they were away, their loved one would cheat on them and make another life behind their back. There is nothing wrong with that, but their actions reflected hypocrisy because they were making people believe that everything was fine when it wasn’t… at least not for the Marine at the front line. Also seeing people in the news talking about the US military and how they are pro war and all that just made us sick, because we knew that all they did was talk and had no experience whatsoever about the military life or the things we had to do and sacrifice to survive. When you see someone like that you just want to punch them in the face. It is amazing on the amount of people you can find around you while you are in the military that would guarantee to help you out whenever and then when you need them the most they just walk away such as friend, loved ones, family, etc. You can even find Hypocrisy inside the military as well, and that is because you can find out quick that you can’t trust all the people that you are supposed to trust, I can count with one hand the people that I could really trust while I was in the military and even now, but the rest to me were just hypocrites. That is why I think that the whole time period when I was in the military is the time of my life in which I experienced Hypocrisy.
