So, recently on Facebook, there has been this photo going around where a Marine was extremely pissed off about. I'll show the photo AND the message the Marine left for the photo:
Matthew Schafer ---> 50 Cent
My Name Is Cpl Schafer Matthew B United States Marine Corps And The Reason I Am Writing This Is To Ask You What The Fuck You Think Your Doing Disgracing My Uniform We All Damn Well Know You NEVER Served In My Corps What Makes You Think You Have The Right To Put Medals On Your Chest That You Didnt Earn I Wanna Know Who The Fuck You Think You Are And Who Gives You The Right To Impersonate A Marine!?
I've read through all of the comments (literally 30k+) to see everyone's point and/or their reasoning for or against 50cent wearing this uniform.
First and foremost, I've come to the conclusion that this Marine is an idiot. A royally butt-hurt person who is looking to take rage upon others for the sheer fact that he can, and because he is a Corporal in the US Marine Corps.
Second, 50cent wore this outfit merely for a Photo Shoot/Music Video/or anything else his endorsements ask him to do. It's NOT like he is waking around the country going "Hey, I'm a Marine." The dude's life is one of the most "infamous" stories for a Rapper in the industry (Gettin shot 8/9 times including 1/2 to the face). His tale is up there with Eminem's tale. So why would he run around lying to the public when 75% of people who know him, know the truth in his life?
It's garbage. What I believe is that someone can wear whatever the hell they want, whenever they want, as long as it is not apart of a Discrimination offense, or Stereotypical offense, or anything of the sort. I had a friend who got expelled from school because he wore a "Proud to be a redneck" T-Shirt. Which they later sued the school over and won. Either way, it's his right to wear whatever the hell he wants!
My other point, is this Corporal is attacking 50Cent for "Impersonating a Marine," why... WHY doesn't he get on the case then of every single ACTOR that dresses up in a Marine Uniform that did NOT serve any time in the Military period? I don't understand this guy's logic. They dress up for OUR ENTERTAINMENT, and we pay billions of dollars to them in record sales, concert tickets, merchandise, and the list goes on.
What are your thoughts on this whole ordeal? Maybe some of you will agree, but those who disagree are the ones I'm curious about, mainly because I'm very interested in seeing an opposing faction of ideas (maybe to sway and weigh odds).
EDIT - To those who "will" disagree, I know one argument many have already said before is "Corporal Matt earned his rights to wear this uniform, so naturally it would be understandable that he would get offended by someone who never served to wear such a thing." Just so you know, I've already weighed that option, and spoke about it already in this post. I'm looking for MORE objective perspectives rather then the obvious. (if any)
