Come on soldier, tell us how you REALLY feel.

You need to learn the difference between soldiers and Marines. The Army has soldiers and the Marine Corps has Marines. To refer to a Marine as a soldier is like referring to a black person as a n****r. It is insulting and demeaning and you shouldn't do it anymore. 'Nuff said.

Semper Fi to all Marines, past and present.

Thanks and remember. Once a Marine always a Marine. There is no such thing as an "ex-Marine" for Marines.

Yes, marines also like to be called "jarheads", although that isn't quite accurate, since a jar has the ability to actually contain something.

I have to frequently remind the 'jarheads' in my family, "If you ain't Cav, you ain't sh*t!"
