Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller wants to improve the state of his force by cracking down on “general jackassery.”

Neller noted in an interview with Marine Corps Times that alcohol tends to fuel many of the problems seen in the corps, ranging from suicide to domestic abuse.

“Alcohol – if it’s not respected and managed – it takes Marines into a bad place, whether it’s domestic abuse, sexual assault, suicide, hazing, DUI, or just general jackassery,” Neller told the Marine Corps Times in an interview published Tuesday. “Normally the story starts …’Well, we were drinking tequila, you know,’ and the story kind of goes downhill from there.”

Tequila? That's essential camouflage. I know after three or four shots in rapid succession I used to become invisible... :thud:
