Not everyone in the Marine Corps is a grunt and your statement is a sign of ignorance.

Yes they are. They even tell them in basic training that they are a grunt first before anything. Again I was not slamming the Marines. I was just responding to the "your not a man if you don't join the Marines" comment.

BS. You were slamming Marines despite your claim to the contrary and while we are all trained to kill people from 500 meters with an M-16 and break necks with our bare hands we are not all grunts. Recruit training, not basic training, as well as recurring marksmanship training, develops and hones our skills as riflemen, not as grunts.
