If it weren't for the bravery and guts of Southerners, the North and West would be speaking German or Japanese. It is incontrovertible fact that most of the military men of this nation come from the former eleven states called the Confederacy. I saw a study once and even into the 1990’s the majority of military men and women came from the old South. The Marines by taking this action are cutting themselves off from a group of men that would honor the Marines. Political correctness run amok.

That’s a fact.
