Wow, in my Marine circles, people are complaining she wore the uniform because SHE DIDNT EARN IT!!

That is a personal thing to us Marines.

Naomi who? I think she picked brown clothes or earth tones for Al Gore in 2000.

It's obvious from the video that she received LOTS of cooperation from the Marines in making it..so the Corps must feel that it's OK.

I suspect that she'll get LOTS of invites to next year's Birthday Ball.

My problem with the whole thing is that it portrays her decision to join as a sudden, rash act, a response to breaking up with her boyfriend. That's totally the opposite of what the Corps, indeed, the whole volunteer military is about.

Hah! When my wife saw the video, she said, “She’s not worthy.”

Did John Wayne “earn it”?

It's funny - that thought crossed my mind. It was so inspiring to me though that I really thought its portrayal of the Marines would make up for that.
