With all due respect, these men are not soldiers, nor are they "marines" as descibed in the article. They are Marines. Semper Fi ...
One of my pet peeves is the fact that so many people refer to all military as "soldiers".I think I even listed them one day, correct me if I'm wrong anywhere.
Marines-----------Marines
Army--------------Soldiers
Air Force---------Airmen
Coast Guard-------Coast Guardsmen
Navy--------------Sailors

What does it matter
They are all volunteers and motivated
Ain't like when we had a draft and it was almost exclusively Marines and Airborne Seals etc who were the volunteers

Here's a correction for you:
Of all the armed forces of the United States, Marine is the only 'title', and therefore it is always capitalized. Maines are the 'soldiers of the sea'. The other branches members are identified by a descriptive name, i.e.: soldier, sailor, airman.
Source: I served 22 years as an active duty Marine.
