Akins, 54, is an expert marksman, ex-Marine, You'd think that since Mr. Wade properly capitalized Marine that he would also realize there are no "ex-Marines".
Mr. Akins is a former Marine.

Mr. Akins is a former Marine. The correct phrase, and one we prefer is "Marine Veteran". One can be a Marine Veteran, and still be a D-Bag, ala Mr. Murtha.
