QUOTE(Steven @ Mar 12 2008, 12:45 PM)  Brandon doesn't know anything about overseas soldiers. You're right. I'm not a Soldier, nor do I work with the Army. I can pass on information about Marines and green-side Sailors, though |

Hey Steven, I think you spelled "Marines" wrong. It's M-A-R-I-N-E-S, not S-O-L-D-I-E-R-S. Just in case you didn't catch that. Just returning the favor :]

The one time my friend and I called my ex's dad a soldier, he only had to remind us once: Marines and Sailors are not Soldiers. Soldiers come from the Army. Ever call a Marine a soldier, you might as well sign the death certificate yourself.

Either way they're a soldier. You should address them 'Marine, Sailor etc.. when they're dressed into their proper uniform. |

Ok, Tama just go to your nearest friendly Marine Corps base and try your luck at calling one of the Marines there a soldier. I'll pray for you.

In a Marine Corps utility uniform, I'm still a Marine. If a Sailor, who is a Corpsman (Navy medical, works with Marines), is in combat utilities, he's still a Sailor. |

Well then you're an idiot. And I believe the blanket term for people fighting in all four branches is "troops."

Then you bust my balls because of it. And yes troops is the proper term, I was taught to believe that so was soldier when they're in military fatigue/ combat mode. |

Then someone wanted you to get your ass kicked by teaching you that.
Edit:// Actually, I don't have a hard time believing that someone wanted you to get your ass kicked so badly they taught you to call a marine a soldier. |

The fake one?
Tisk tisk, this thread has really gone askew. I do believe this would be considered spam. But that's just me. No I don't care but don't bitch about spamming if you're going to spam too. |

Eeeeenteresting.
Where did you get the notion that all servicemen in combat utilities were Soldiers, though? That was some bad guidance. |

So next time spam ensues, why not just split it from the topic and the conversation can continue there ^.~
