My oldest great-nephew just graduated Parris Island about a week before Christmas, he doesn't think the guy was acting the way a Marine is supposed to, either.
I find it surprising there just are not that many details about this anywhere. There is also nothing about this man's service. For all we know he could be a real hero, chaptered out or even a fraud. Unfortunately there are a lot of pretenders out there or people who portray their service as something it was not.
I have to agree.. just one of many Underachievers except when The Marines Needed numbers when he was at the door...

Earned the right pfft, he's just another tool with an ego problem.
It is not just 'foreigners' who wear religious head coverings on the street and I, for one, do not want the government determining the tenants of any faith or whether or not a belief system is a faith. To me headgear is like glasses, do you customarily wear it in public or not. The one exception is that face coverings need to be removed because the wearer can't be identified with it on. The driver's licence picture is for identification purposes, it needs to represent the driver of the car. If the headcovering isn't in use when driving then the subject needs to remove it.

DMV snarky employee.

Snarky? Really? From the text of the link, it sounds like the DMV employees tried to figure out if they could accommodate the guy. No snark. Can we just try to realize that they are just customer service employees? They don't write the rules, but they have the totally unenviable job of enforcing them.
My personal thought is that this guy resents the turban wearers and the only way he could 'get even' with them was by being miserable to the clerk. Glad for him that he got what he wanted out of it, but I can't help hoping that he gets stopped by a cop real soon.
Your rude opinion noted. I THINK HE IS A SUPERIOR REPRESANTIVE OF THE USMC.

I think he either has a weird sense of humor, or is a douchebag.
And respecting his life choice doesn't mean accepting every little thing he does. At what point did we get to be expected to blindly worship anyone who got into military, for whatever reason ? Are you demanding the same kind of respect for people coming up with cure for diseases or trying to educate kids in urban ghettos ?
I have a few friends and acquaintances who served. Some did it to serve their country. Some enlisted because they didn't know what to do with themselves. Some did it to stay out of trouble. Some did it to get a marketable skill they couldn't afford to get elsewhere. At least one openly admitted he was young and stupid and wanted to shoot some "real" targets. Luckily for that guy, he ended up in a control center somewhere far from action and didn't make choices he'd live to regret for the rest of his life.
It's a profession. A profession worthy of respect but it doesn't entitle anyone to become better than anyone else.

Well It sounds more like he did this to highlight the unequal treatment given to different groups of people as he see's it, and less as an expression of superiority.

Please refer to the "as he see's it" part of my post.
