I grew up in proximity to Camp Pendleton and plenty of the locals have spent years watching aggro marines start shit at the bars and restaurants. Kinda like how Okinawans hate the occupiers
Weird how this history of stirrring shit up isn't mentioned, but whenever a POC or homeless person is at the center of an incident the media will bring up criminal records and statistics at lightspeed.
Imagine getting stationed next to the avocado capitol and not just getting some fresh guac and chilling. Nah, gotta get blind drunk and prove MCMAP is a shitty martial art by getting my ass kicked.
This is why the British used to shanghai men out of the gutters and ship them off to distant lands. Go be violent freaks to the natives and not our people.
shanghaiing had less to do with public weal than enforcing indentured servitude on desperately needed labor pools. sailor's inherent 'criminality' was just fabricated to give owners excuses to limit the agency of workers whose greatest crimes were generally protesting work conditions by skipping out on contracts.
promiscuity, belligerency, and alcoholism were not particularly more pronounced in sailing labor than terrestrial labor but the former was more important to business and empire and so warranted different legal codes and myth-making
