A years-old casualty from Social Media and exacerbated by whining snowflakes... an entire unit of Marine Scout Snipers... in one of the first incidents of SJW's ruining lives over a blog. Yup, old news, but the lesson is real.

But still relevant today.
The lesson is that social media is NOT your friend. Zuckerberg has created a platform that wastes billions of productive people-hours... and has (and is and will) ruin countless lives. The damage that these sites are doing is tangible. And we have not even gotten into how many people are getting imprisoned or 'disappeared' in foreign lands because Social Media is giving the thought police a window into who to arrest, imprison or liquidate. Don't think it's not happening.
Everything these days (and even a decade old) is still up for grabs. It's digital Tattoo's... it never goes away.

P.S. I understand that they wanted a cool, goth-looking Runic Scout Sniper logo... It probably looked like something from the Dokken albums or Death Metal bands they grew up with. But can anyone really think that some hardcore Tier One Marines did not have enough military history knowledge (in a group that big) to know that what they were doing might have some consequences? Perhaps not. The current millenial generation thinks WW2 was fought against the Russians and with the Germans as our allies... Really.
