Fix the headline! There's no such thing as an ex-Marine.

Actually, there is...an individual who left under other that honorable circumstances.

Incorrect. Murtha, Dellums, Garwood, Lonetree, Dennehy, Oswald, Glenn, Massey, et al, are ex-Marines.

In this case the use of the noun ex- is incorrect but there are, indeed, ex-Marines.

You said that right!

From all the Marines I know personally....you're either active, reserve, attached to another branch, or just 'takin' a knee' from service.

Even after retiring from The Corps, those dudes and dudettes I mentioned, are still Marines with every fiber in there bodies. God Bless 'Em!!

What about someone who disgraces themselves and the Marine Corps? Like Lee Harvey Oswald? Or John Murtha?

Yes there is. An Ex Marine is one we've buried. I'm looking forward to calling Murtha an Ex Marine.

That may have been true once, but it is no longer the case after John Murtha.
