Bullship. No MARINE would EVER consent to being called a soldier. Rifleman, perhaps, as all Marines are in a basic sense, but soldier? Hell no.

Did you even read my comment? No, you just like to be a contrarian.
I said in general, and roughly speaking. I know the difference between a Marine and an Army soldier, but the fact is generically ALL servicemen have been called — wrongly — “soldiers,” no matter their branch of service; just as the generic “troops” has been applied to all servicemen.
