The Marine Corps may replace its iconic slogan “The Few. The Proud. The Marines.”
The service is putting together a new advertising campaign that could include a tagline to succeed the current one, which has been used on and off since 1976.
Here’s the apparent problem with the longtime slogan: It doesn’t explain what the Marines actually do, which is fight.
“(We) examined the existing tagline and felt that it did an excellent job describing who we are, but it didn’t go further and state what it is that we do,” said Lt. Col. John Caldwell, spokesman for the Marine Corps Recruiting Command.

I’ll leave that decision to the Corps. It’s better than “We’re looking for a few good men”, which in this PC era is too homoerotic.
The Marines: We should have killed all the muslims at Tripoli and just kept going.
“but it didn’t go further and state what it is that we do”
Break things and kill stuff?
Entirely too much social manipulation going on in the military these days. Gotta get these leftists out of office ASAP.
regarding changing Marine slogan:
God, I hope not! You can only imagine how gay the new slogan would will be.
I fully expect to see a new ad with the Marines dressed in drag holding hands and kissing...final act of the Obozo administration.
The height of eloquence is not saying what you don’t need to say. The marines fight. We all know it.
In the transformed America The Few, The Proud, The Marines is just too elitist for the PC crowd.
Can’t have anyone feeling better about themselves, or their service branch, than anyone else.
The ultra PC types in the Pentagon are wee wee’d up because the Marines stick to their fine tradition of killing people and tearing stuff up.
Beat me to it
Yeah, cause the guy is right. I didn’t know a Marine’s job was to kill!! /s
The Few. The Proud. The Marines.
Leave it the #### alone.
In Obama’s tranny-formed America, we celebrate “Greek exceptionalism” over “American exceptionalism”.
yup, anything the gay politically correct Obamanation regime chooses now will be horrible..... leave the USMC the hell alone, Obama!!!
>>The Marines: We should have killed all the muslims at Tripoli and just kept going.<<
Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
(Would never happen in Acimera where the guilty are rewarded and the innocent are punished.)
I love how they make the armed services about “helping.”
“In Obama’s tranny-formed America, we celebrate “Greek exceptionalism” over “American exceptionalism”.”
He did one heck of a job of tranny-forming the military.
In Obies world “butthurt has a whole nother meaning.
I guess this is what the Marines get for pushing back on his women in combat arms edict.
I will be so happy to see the Kenyan islamophile leave our capital for the last time.
Anyone who doesn’t already know what the Marines do is too stupid to be a Marine. The excuse they gave is no reason to change the slogan.
‘should the slogan be changed?’
No. Their slogan has worked for decades, and there’s entirely too much abandonment of tradition nowadays as it is.
The few...the fabulous...
