OK, give me credit for my defense of the 99.99% of Marines who have served us so well, please?

I certainly give you credit.

A.A. Cunningham's meager list is proof that 99.99% of Marines will always be Marines, and I'm sure Cunningham would agree.

The problem is with the headline writers and journalists who are clueless to the meaning of the term "EX-Marine".

They don't get it, they have no clue that a cretin like Murtha is despised by Marines and is referred to by them as an "EX-Marine" as a way of cutting him out of the Corps and preserving the Corps' honor.

The same headline writers and journalists will never understand that a man like Justin Sharratt will always be a Marine, part of the eternal Corps that lives on with honor.

Thanks, amigo. I know what I have learned about the concept of an “ex marine” and now I bristle when I see it posted — like fingernails on a chalk board.

People don’t appreciate how much FR is a place of education.

And how we must educate others.

Good night and God bless :)

(ps: we’re of accord on this, right AA?)
