This sounds more to me like a story that one Marine tells another about how effed up the Army is.

My friend had a pretty good tour with the Army. He had a commendation for having the best tank crew in the Second ID (as I recall the unit). Once we were doing something together --drinking large amounts of beer, as I recall -- and a news story came on and the background music was "The Cassions (sp) go rolling along." He perked up in the way I always do when I hear the Marine Corps hymn.

I am NOT showing disrespect for the Army. It just ain't the Marine Corps. And to suggest there is homogeneity between the two. I don't buy that at all.

Well, we'll just have to call it a draw there because I agree with you. The Army aint the Marines.
