And, yes they will hold those offensive classes as they will be ordered to do so just as they were ordered to do so in the 1070s and 80s when classes in Human Relations ( aka HumRel) had to be held with regard to race relations..
Sucks..indeed it does and don’t think for a second the Marines will like this...they won’t.
Ever heard of silent contempt?

That isn’t quite true. In the broadest usage of the word “soldier”, Marines are soldiers. We don’t really call each other that, we call each other Marine (and everyone else seems to as well). In a classification sense of the word, usually “soldier” refers to someone in the Army as you will see them call “US Army Soldiers” while Marines are usually just “US Marines”. It is a fine nuance of the word but I think you would or could say a Marine is a soldier. As a Marine, I would find no issue in your calling me a soldier, although I would prefer Marine. Hope I didn’t muddy the water there.

Thank you and despite what other idiots have said to you on this thread, you're correct.

Marines are a dept. of the Navy, the Mens dept.
