No, you're wrong Tamacracker. That term died in 1962.

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.

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? =\

But who will back Trish up? Or will she be strong enough by herself? Or will she retreat, too?

in my experience and teachings in the army, there is a significant distinguishment between the two. you can never tell a marine that they are a soldier because they feel that the term "soldier" only applies to army. being called a marine is a honor for them. just the same as a sailor and airman. now a days, if someone asks if you're a soldier, the first assumption is that they're asking if you're army. its best to say that all service members are not soldiers but their own entity.

soldier-army
marine-marine
airman-airforce
sailor-navy

btw...steven, go ahead and critize all you want about what i'm saying but guess what, i'm always an army veteran first before an army wife. and yes, i worked a desk job but i also worked the front lines so a little respect should be given to all military members, past or present, no matter what they are.

We've been over this, fatty. Point out to me where I said that soldiers and Marines were a synonymous term. Oh wait, I never did. There are, however, soldiers (ARMY ZOMG) stationed in Japan, as Brandon confirmed.

i apologize but i didn't direct that whole thing to you steven. it was posted as a general but there's no need to call me names because that's definitely not my name.
you're right, women are not allowed in the front lines. i used the wrong term on that. but still, back to the topic at hand, respect should be given to each service member by calling each by their respective title.

We went over this earlier. Clarify! YOU MUST CLARIFY AND ADD BEGINNING AND ENDINGS FOR WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING IN RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE TERMS!

Shhhh... I'm watching the hole being dug :X

When there's a group of servicemen and women... whether they're in the ARMY, NAVY, Marines, Air Force... it is actually ok to use the term "soldiers" or "troops"

That's all I'm sayin on my part.

So I left out Military? That doesnt distinguish which branch.

The term soldier, as read in the dictionary, would apply to all branches of the Military.

Lol? I pay you for your service. So if I want to call you [filtered] soldier, I'm going to call you a [filtered] soldier. It's like when all those [filtered] pacific islanders say "I'm not [filtered] Asian, I'm [filtered] pacific islander. God." mellow.gif
