It has nothing to do with criticizing "innocent affection." If you don't love it, why are you there?
It has to do with sticking together as a TEAM when the real enemy has shed the blood of our people, and destroyed our treasure. That oughta get ANY red-blooded uniform REAL mad, even madder'n Marine vs. Army vs. Navy vs. AF vs. CG etc.
This statement proves the necessity for boot camp. You just don't seem to understand. First and foremost getting 'mad' is not an option for our military. Obeying orders is. Getting 'mad' has a way of getting you extremely dead. You are mistaking military rivalry with civilian arogance. Civilians get mad, Marines get even.
2nANGLICO, Force Troops, FMFLant 73-75 OOOHHHRahhhhhh baby!
Don't worry about this at all. I realize you kinda got off on the wrong foot on this thread and didn't intend for your post to be taken the way it was taken,but when push comes to shove,it's ALL red,white,and blue. We're family,regardless of branch of service,rank,skin color,or anything else. You hurt one of us,you are wearing ALL of us. Trust me on this.
