I will respect them for doing what they do. But they're not Marines in the traditional sense and I won't pretend they are.
“But they’re not Marines in the traditional sense and I won’t pretend they are.”
The traditional sense? I don’t even know what that means. Women have been serving in the US military for decades. And they get killed in a war zone just like men do. They earn those uniforms. So unless you’re willing to put one on yourself, as the man said in the movie, “I’d rather you just said thank you.”
