I see Hawaii has already made page. What a shame. I love Hawaii but I HATE the liberal ass environment there. Always have. Probably lived there for 8 out of my 21 years in the Corps (well, I was probably there for 3.5 years of that actually-deployed).
As a SSgt. when I reported in for my second tour to 1/3, I had been in the company for about a week. A runner from the Company Office came to me and said that the CO needed to see me ASAP. I was like, WTF? I haven't done anything wrong yet. So I go up to the office, the 1stSgt has this 'oh brother' look on his face and I report to the Skipper. There are two Hawaiian Leo's standing there. Apparently they were there to arrest me for bringing a rifle onto the island illegally. WTF? Before I left Texas (my brothers house in Lubbock) I left all of my guns there because I knew how Hawaii was and how bad TMO in VA was. Good thing I did...I ended up having half of my household items stolen...fukers. Anyways, shit was stupid, the CO of course believed me and they called the MP's and base legal to include TMO. TMO finally admitted it was a mistake. Holy Shit...started my tour off with a bang! But yes, it is that bad over there. That was in 1995ish.
And NO we are not giving it back to 'them'. It is a state, a part of the union and there is one hell of a lot of spilled American blood there....still is....defending that damn island. NO.
