You don't know that.
I recall this story because it -was- so off the wall. But it hard to imagine something like this happening in the Marine Corps. My buddy did say that this private was a pretty dim bulb. :)

Hey OK! Here we go! Now, I can relate to that. No shortage of dim bulbs to go around in the Army or the Marines. Maybe the Marine dim bulbs are more disciplined ;-) But I feel like I'm taking on the entire Marine Corps here. Do I love the Army- You betcher! Do I think the Army is better than the Marines? Yessir! And just like you Marine fellas will sit around and Semper Fi each other to death (or maybe it's only the rest of us that you Semper Fi to death) I will defend the Army. It's the nation's oldest and proudest institution. We've been there for America whenever she needed us and we always will be! The Army rules! I won't take anything away from you guys, but yall don't need to be dissing the Army.
