I think ex-Marines are ones who were tossed out.

“I think ex-Marines are ones who were tossed out.”

Guys like Dan Rather come to mind.......

For all his “Marine to Marine” talk when interviewing active duty Marines, he never was a Marine. Dan never made it out of boot camp, and was tossed before earning his Globe, Anchor, and Eagle (the birdie on the ball). I wouldn’t even call him an “ex-Marine” because he, and others like him, never were MARINES......just civilians that didn’t make the cut......
