"Get some" will take on a whole new meaning.

The Marine Corps may replace its iconic slogan “The Few. The Proud. The Marines.”
The service is putting together a new advertising campaign that could include a tagline to succeed the current one, which has been used on and off since 1976.
Here’s the apparent problem with the longtime slogan: It doesn’t explain what the Marines actually do, which is fight.
“(We) examined the existing tagline and felt that it did an excellent job describing who we are, but it didn’t go further and state what it is that we do,” said Lt. Col. John Caldwell, spokesman for the Marine Corps Recruiting Command.

"Get some" will take on a whole new meaning.
But “pride” is the hallmark of the homosexualists. You would think the powers that be would embrace the term.
Marines: We kill people and break stuff.
Leave it at that.
If people don’t like it, there’s 3 other Branches they can join.
The few. The proud. Told me they win.
The marines. America’s swift boot.
“Flouncing Toward Gomorrah”
Probably be something like the Navy had a while back: “A global force for good.”
Bring back the “Marines as crusading knights” recruitment ads.
That would send a message.

This old Marine says PLEASE DON’T !!
Stop. Changing. Stuff.
My Dad was in the Marines and, when I was a senior in high school, I talked about following in his footsteps. He sat me down at the kitchen table and encouraged me to first get a college education. He told me that “The only thing you will learn in the Marines is how to kill.”
Just make it “Ooh Rah!”
I thought their slogan was “Semper Fidelis?”
One of the few, and proud of it.
Dude, that’s just wrong...funny, but wrong.
WINNER!!!
To preserve a phony sense of continuity, Obama's minions will slightly revise that to:
Whimper Fidelis.
“Semper fidelis” is the motto, not a recruiting slogan.
I'm starting to wonder if this is just bammy and/or some of his cohorts in crime trying to "leave their mark" on the military. The Air Force changed their slogan at the Academy, the Navy is renaming it's ranks/positions. Now the Corps is thinking about a new slogan?
You know, if recruitment was down and they were having to relax standards to fill the ranks I could see this as one possible strategy. But as I understand it they have all the recruits they want and then some. One source mentioned they strive for 90% of their recruits to have a HS diploma - last year it was actually 99.6%. So obviously they are getting the quantity and quality of recruits (and then some) they want.
This smacks of make-work or make someone happy type BS.
I learned to work on avionics...and how to kill...lol
