Marines, now not soldiers. :roll:

I didn't say they're in the army, solider can imply such, but I used the term to say that they serve in the armed forces, which should be obvious enough.

"Soldier" is the term for members of the US Army, "Marine" is the term for members of the USMC.

Actually I don't think I'm in the military. I know that I was in the military. USMC MOS 0331/8152.

I doubt that, but if you really were, then why are you acting like you know nothing about the Military? All I've seen from you so far is bull shit and stuff pulled out your ass.

Not according to Websters, it can refer to any enlisted.

We wouldn't like the term soldier.... though perhaps it would be better than sailor (we don't like that one either... that's for them skimmers).

Just got him. Now, I SERIOUSLY doubt that he was ever in the Military. He said he WAS a Marine. That's not possible unless dishonourably discharged.

2) Resulting to the good ol CoD argument. From what I've seen here, you've never served in the Marines. Maybe the Army or Navy, but no way the Marines. Too many screw ups that are literally brainwashed into Marines.

Think it's the whole "Once a marine, always a marine" thing regardless of current employment.

Unless you think, like I do, that the "once a Marine, always a Marine" is bullshit.
So, no you didn't "get me".

You can leave the Marine Corps, but you're always a Marine.

1) Not as many as you.
2) A sniper that is well hidden, blending in with his environment is nearly impossible to spot without IR or a muzzle flash. Go join the Military, THEN you can argue about that.

In my opinion, they make it sound like a bunch of flying fuck, and they demoralize it. The Marine Corps has been saying that for years before these guys were even born. It's not a saying, it's part of a lifestyle.
