Ah, yes. Semantics.

[wku man]

No, newbie, it's not semantics. If you'd ever served, you'd know the difference. Marines are very proud of being Marines, as are soldiers, sailors and airmen. There is a difference, and I think the least the media can do for our troops (the accepted collective term) is learn a little about their rank structure, the missions of their branches, etc. The media, and civilians who've never served, owe it to our servicemen and women to learn a little about what they do while carrying out their mission to protect our (your) way of life.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

"semantics?" Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Ya, snowflake marines, thats what we need.

Its no worse than a squid around here that is enraged that he wasnt authorized to wear enough jewelry on his uniform.

It tends to be the same ones that honestly thought they were fighting over who had the best towels.

Unlike so many others, they did do their part in their time and should be recognized for it.
