Have you met a serving or former Marine who isn't a huge douchebag? I haven't.

Nope.
For some reason the ones that made it out alive feel that they're entitled to something. They're only entitled to something in my mind if they've died in battle, because then they've actually done something honorable (fought AND died for a country they loved).

The only people I've seen in the military were assholes. Even the ones I've seen applying for it tend to be brutish, thuggish douchebags.

Most military people I know have been cool folks. They tend to not be as uptight and have a good sense of humor, but can serious when needed.
I play with a lot of ex mehreens in online games, hell even in WoW there were a few. I will admit the two biggest douches I knew in that game were marines, but one of them was the funny-but-abrasive kind, not the asshole kind. The other was just straight up full of himself, I'm sure he would've been like that marine or not, though.

Yeah, my godbrother. He was a pretty cool guy, didn't afraid of anything. Did a tour in Iraq, was a really nice guy. Then some faggot killed him by going the wrong way down the highway in a 70 zone in a suicide attempt. I wish that fat Mexican didn't die upon impact, that way I could kill him myself for being such a piece of shit.

My uncle was in the Army, I think he was wrenching on Apaches and such during desert storm.
Hes pretty cool.
His wife is a cunt though, conveniently while she was in Florida visiting her family with their son and daughter she had him vacuum the whole house (two stories, top floor is 3 bed 2 bath with a titanic living room, basement is 2 bed 1 bath and a study type room with another very large in-home theater) pull the weeds in their very large back yard, cut down some of the low hanging branches on the trees they've got and re mulch the little wood-chippy circles under them.
I think there was some other stuff too, like lay down base boards in one of the non carpeted rooms in the basement. Oh, and she wanted him to clean all the mirrors and windows and the oven and the counters and what not in the bathrooms.
As I said before, all while she was conveniently on vacation in sunny Florida probably making my Grandma drive her kids around doing whatever.

At this point in time the military is pretty much the shithole option where people without money or talent go. The enlisted men are generally at the worst level of trash, kept in line only through intimidation and threat.
Officers are generally better, and it might be different for armies with mass conscription or restrictions that keep out the shit. But for most western militaries, this is the case.

I briefly dated this Marine for a while, 5'6 manlet with an addiction to Maplestory. I broke it off with him, and he threw a huge fit over Facebook towards my new boyfriend. We saw him at the mall IRL, and all he did was look down at the ground and scurry away. What a pussy.

I remember in highschool our teachers boyfriend was a marine and he came in to talk to us. We all had to write down 5 question for him. Many of mine were chosen to be answered.
One of the questions was something to the effect of "Do you have any animosity towards the government seeing as how they gave weapons and training in the 90s to the exact same people you are fighting against today?". He said that he does not. They were allies then, and though perhaps some mistakes were made by the government, now they are the enemy.
It disturbs me how little rationalization he needed to kill what must have been dozens of people over his decade of service.

His response in itself wasn't disturbing. It's just when you think about it, he has killed many people just because someone told him to, and it's clear they didn't tell him to do it for any good reason because 20 years ago these people were allies.

He's right. Some of our allies can turn into enemies. This is not something new. Russia was one of the U.S.A's allies in WW2 but then the Cold War arrived. That's just life.

That doesn't necessarily mean there wasn't good reason. The relationship changed in twenty years, so what?
What should've bothered him is that he's not defending his country but being used as a global security force for American imperialism. But even that probably wouldn't because we've been doing that for ages and there's no one to tell him it might be wrong.

The point is they should never have supported them in the first place.
Unfortunately the US seems to view it in their interest to keep the Middle-East dirt poor and backwards as fuck, judging by how eager they always are to support Islamist extremist movements fighting against secular governments.
Now watch as America tries to act completely dumbfounded when, yet again, they repeat the same mistakes in the Arab Spring and end up with another Taliban-style dictatorship seizing control over Egypt/Libya/Syria.

He walks around like he's intellectually and morally superior to the rest of humanity because he's in the Marines, when he got a 14 on the ACT and has cheated on three of his girlfriends.

I've never met someone who served in the military that was a douchebag. Of course, I don't know many people in the military.
I know a army guy who did one tour. He's legit as fuck. At first, I thought he was a douchbag but he's grown on me considerably. He's quite honest in his criticisms of the military but he says he'd do it again in a heartbeat if it wasn't for medical reasons.
