SemperFi: Always Faithful

Marine Corps Master Sgt. Jerry Ensminger was a devoted Marine for nearly twenty-five years. As a drill instructor he lived and breathed the "Corps" and was responsible for indoctrinating thousands of new recruits with its motto Semper Fidelis or "Always Faithful." When Jerry's nine-year old daughter Janey died of a rare type of leukemia, his world collapsed. As a grief-stricken father, he struggled for years to make sense of what happened. His search for answers led to the shocking discovery of a Marine Corps cover-up of one of the largest water contamination incidents in U.S. history.
Semper Fi: Always Faithful follows Jerry's mission to expose the Marine Corps and force them to live up to their motto to the thousands of soldiers and their families exposed to toxic chemicals. His fight reveals a grave injustice at North Carolina's Camp Lejeune and a looming environmental crisis at military sites across the country.

@pa791taylor24 I think if you watch the whole documentary (Netflix now) you will see that it portrays Marines as very honorable men and women.

@pa791taylor24 As a Marine myself, I care more about the victims that the Marines turned their back on than vise versa. I will always love the Corps, but this is unforgivable.

@pa791taylor24 I hope you will always remember that you are an American 1st & military 2nd. Read all you can about the UN's Agenda 21. Watch Eisenhower & JFK SOTUAs they were warning us!

I come from a long line of military men - not all of them made it home - so I understand how your heart feels. I feel the same about my country & the constitution - that is to be protected at all costs both foreign & domestic. Our gov has been highjacked and our nation is sick. Thank you!!! :)

Please do not make my Marine Corps look like a piece of shit. Maybe the higher ups may have their priorities out of order, but this video really pisses me off. I love my Marine Corps, and my fellow Marines. This video makes it look like some sort of criminal organization.

Semper Fidelis.

@jentoole how do i figure? Ive seen it happen for years, even years before i joined and to speak out agianst it, is to end your career. I have personally stopped several rapes my damn self. Your not speaking to someone talking out thier ass on this one.Since only 2 percent of our population join, the ratio compared to civilians is staggering.Dont be soo naive.

[jentoole]

@TheWolfmidget As compared to how many rapes are committed by civilians and how many rapes go undocumented/charged? How do you figure 'hebaphillia' and rape is 'almost encouraged'?????

[TheWolfmidget]

As important as this cover up was still theres a large cover up on how mant rapes and sexual assaults are committed by them, not to mention almost encouraged hebaphillia.Wheres that documentary? This year alone the Marines had more incidents than the Army(whos usually in first due to size) but yes our smallest branch has out raped the largest! Theres plenty of policies keeping that from the public and thy're most likely to get away with it when its victims are civilians ( most are)

[salonandspaaah]

I really hope someone does something soon. It makes you wonder why they covered it up and who the first brass was to make the choice to kill all these brave families. Who was the first murderer at LeJeune?

Thanks to all who have worked to make this movie possible! I am one of the close to a million of brave and innocent Americans who were exposed to the toxic drinking water at USMC Base Camp Lejeune during the years of the contamination.My mother died of a signature cancers and now my Dad has cancer too! Please if you have ever loved a Marine or their family, Share this clip on all of your social media sights.Spread the truth so much that it can never be buried again Semper FI! Mary Blakely

They asked a marine 2 star in a hearing ‎"Dont you think you have a responsibility to these people to notify them that they may have been exposed...?" "Yes sir!" "Then why dont you do it?" his envrironmental engineer K. Dreyer responded ."That would be a very difficult and laborious task...we could try.I cannot express my anger at that response. U r saying that would be too hard and too much work? We ask our soldiers to do the most difficult and laborious tasks there is and your answer is that!
