Marines Get The Shaft

[WingedBull]

Only a semi-relevant post but one of interest none the less. I suppose it'll make me think twice before I buy a UAW-made car...

No... I think this is a relevant post.. and all Marines need to read it. What a complete crock of ****... This is a great example of the UAW cutting off its nose to spite its face.
What do they gain by turning away Marines from their parking spots in non-working hours? I guess it helps them feel politically justified.
What they lose from this? How about every Marine in that unit (and many who learn about this) going out of their way to not do business with them again.
Pretty amazing, but those union ****heads have managed to make Marines want to buy foreign cars. I personally have always believed in buying American, and figured I would never buy a foreign car, not sure if that will stay the same. At least the Japanese don't try and shove their liberal ideology down my throat.

If the UAW would manufacture something than a flaming pile of s*** car, then maybe I'd consider buying one. Until then, f*** 'em. As far as Detroit is concerned, I'd buy an Eminem album before an American car.

As it is now, my car is Mexican.

lol, Mexico has cars? Oh wait...are they the ones that end in -o?

Yugo, Pinto, Geo, etc...

It is amazing how stupid angry liberals manage to show how much they appreciate the Marine sacrifice....especially in a time of ****ing war. I'd like to plant my size 11 deep in their rectal cavities and make them lick my boot afterwards.

My "Mexican" car (built in Puebla)...

Unbelievable, I might just break my unbroken streak of buying American cars, not sure if this is going up in the ready room or not yet. Oh well BMWs are now built in America and not by the UAW.
Funny thing is I bet more than half their members voted republican anyway too bad they have such J@ckasses representing them.

Too little too late

Funny part is that lots of "foreign" cars are made by UAW workers right in the US. Idiots.

Thankfully the Unit Commander had the good sense to ignore the UAW's reversal. His Marines will no longer be using the UAW lot, even though they're allowed to once again.
