While trying to make an impression during last night’s Republican debate, Ben Carson claimed that the Marines are not ready to deploy. That was a comment that did not go over well with Marines. Below is a sampling of people’s responses to Carson’s simple-minded statement.
Claim from Carson, "our Marine Corps is not ready to be deployed," insults thousands of Marines deployed around the world at this instant.

Think Carson just lost the Marine vote… Saying they aren't ready. Ahhh, Marines are always ready.

Dr. Carson, FYSA: Marines are not only ready, they are deployed and deploying right now.

I would like to hear Carson say our Marines are not ready to a platoon of Marines. Actually say it to just a fire team. #CNNDebate

#BenCarson just said that the #Marines are not ready to deploy. Ben Carson has clearly never met a United Stated Marine. #GOPDebate
