Not to start a debate... but this is from a Marine himself:
http://www.angelfire.com/ca/dickg/soldier.html The term Soldier can be used as a general term to identify any serviceman or woman. =\ QUOTE(BrandonSaunders @ Mar 13 2008, 10:17 AM) Keep riding.  Back on topic, Marines were once regarded as the 'Soldiers of the Sea.' That was back in the olden days, though. Times change. Actually not really... it never has changed. It's the sense of pride in which a serviceman or woman woul dmuch rather be addressed to their branch. That's all. |

Don't post at the same time as me, sea-dog! Shit. It still stands. Many Marines find it offensive to be called the 's' word. |

Yar out of pride... which blankets them with a bit of ignorance because they're still a soldier in general terms, not specific terms. QUOTE(Steven @ Mar 13 2008, 10:20 AM) No, you're wrong Tamacracker. That term died in 1962. http://www.amazon.com/Soldiers-Sea-United-...s/dp/1877853011 Erm... isn't that just about how the Marines were born into having their own Branch?... nothin really about how the general term, "soldier" was abolished specifically for Marines? =\ |
