Yeah, but that's just like, Zappa's opinion, man...

No.  Opinions are not the same as facts.

While I, too, doubt the veracity of that meme, I checked every link in the Google search you linked and none of them disproved the numbers mentioned in the meme.

One wasn't even there anymore.

But merely repeating a "fact" doesn't not prove it.

No, it doesn't (*cough*CNN*cough*), but claiming it's wrong and you're only evidence is you claiming it's wrong doesn't disprove it either.

I honestly clicked your link thinking it was a Snopes article or a news article talking about various marines volunteering for White House duty during Obama's two terms. I was actually surprised with the fact that you linked basically nothing in response.

There has to be SOME basis in fact.  All we have is a meme.  Literally.

Supposedly based on a Linkedin post that I've never seen a link too.

When I shared my link there was three places Google found that mentioned it.  The original was already taken down.  Now there is four and the latest one has people doubting it entirely.

Doubts do not equal proof. Like I said, i don't believe it's any more accurate than you do, but you can't just say "it's not true" and expect that YOUR claim overrules someone else's claim when neither of you provides proof. And, yes, he made the claim so it's incumbent upon him to provide it, but, IMO, you can't just claim something is wrong without providing evidence yourself. 

This is a meme/joke thread. If you don't have evidence that disproves a meme, then just move along. Heck, there have been many memes I've found that were wrong, but I let them go because I try to let this remain a joke/meme thread and I just don't care enough to start a whole separate thread about a single meme. Heck, the only reason I responded to your ""Fact"" post was simply because I was disappointed your link contained nothing.

My "claim" was that there was no "facts" in a meme that says "FACT" at the top.

So far, I'm right.

There was a liberal activist handing these out as CPAC.

I certainly hope the numbers aren't true given how Trump speaks of the men and women who actually serve this country.  I'd hope they have better judgement than that, but hey what do I know?

LOL

My Mom passed away this summer and she wanted me to spread her ashes. The whole time I had that scene from The Big Lewbowski going through my head while trying not to laugh inappropriately.
