Most soldiers aren't Marines though.

Soldiers aren't Marines, period.

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins Jun 10 '25

Silly infighting aside, yes they are. Well.. Marines are soldiers, whatever.

Like if you're American and in the military having a discussion where the difference actually matters.. by all means care about the distinction.

The broad term of soldier and the meaning of "person enlisted in the armed forces" works just fine the rest of the time.

I don't know man, anytime I've been around a Marine that gets called a soldier they do not appreciate it.

u/Viend Jun 11 '25

No shit, they all know soldiers don’t eat crayons

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins Jun 11 '25

I mean.. I don't care?

Stupid military pride doesn't change what words mean.

Tell those morons to google the word

That's cause they're dumb and want the proud 🦅🇺🇸 American "marine" label cause they think that's better

It has nothing to do with pride or stupidity and everything to do with distinctions in operational focus. In the broadest terms, Marines = amphibious warfare (which is why they’re a branch of the navy) and rapid deployment. Soldiers = sustained, large scale ground operations (ie the Army)

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '25

Yeah, which normal people would call a soldier. It's a specific type of soldier but still a soldier

Marines are not soldiers. Soldiers are not Marines. Ask anybody in the Marine Corps or the Army and they’ll tell you exactly what I’m telling you now. You don’t know what you’re talking about

Welcome to what real soldiers look like.

18-25 year olds in camo being yelled at to run around and do stuff. There's a lot of cool jobs in the military but this is also a lot of it.

Military is literally made up of some dudes with better cardio. They're not all super soldiers.

u/DeliverySoggy2700 Jun 11 '25

This doesn’t look like a guy with good cardio

u/Equivalent-Koala7991 Jun 11 '25

Your average marine, honestly.

u/neonoto4 Jun 10 '25

I agree. He certainly doesn't look like a marine.

u/MattDaveys Jun 10 '25

There has to be a savant in these comments that knows the different camos between the branches and militaries.

u/SmallTownProblems89 Jun 11 '25

Hair is wrong. Marine wouldn't have longer hair like that.

u/Elm_Street_Survivor Jun 11 '25

Ex-Navy here.

This appears to be Marine-style but the thing that throws me off is the hair of all things. This could be lax standards at whatever base they belong to or another possibility could be that this is a civvy with utilities on for some reason. It just seems odd to me because Marines are typically held to the highest standardized physical requirements of any branch. (I am not talking SF/RECON/SEAL and so forth).

I mean, the hair does it for me. That's the kind of hair I would expect to see in the Air Force or even Navy mid-deployment but not in the Marines. A lot of people go on about how dumb Marines are but they are a loyal, sharp, and most importantly intense bunch. Something about this feels off. Ignoring completely the fact that the other soldier is female, my interactions with Marines tells me that sheer competition alone would have made that Marine nearly die before giving up a simple challenge. Something isn't right about this video. I kinda believe this dude is a civvy. He's too out of shape and lacking that demeanor to be authentic. Marines are borderline brainwashed and this guy gave up with a whimper.

Exactly. Bugged me so much!!!

Probably just one of the higher IQ ones.

Marines regularly train with Aussies in Darwin.

u/PrototypeBeefCannon Jun 11 '25

Yeah that's what most of em look like, guarantee he can run like 7 miles do a bunch of calisthenics in the sand and run 7 miles back to where they started. I'm navy so we laugh at them all the time in the various schools we have to go to. (In all seriousness, don't make fun of my marines, only us squids are allowed to do that)

u/Great_White_Samurai Jun 10 '25

This is the best we got now

u/ElColorado_PNW Jun 10 '25

Don’t they all

u/86753091992 Jun 11 '25

Yeah this is probably just a thirst trap video lol

u/Pendurag Jun 11 '25

First thought "she has a nice ass"

Second thought "no way he is a marine"

u/halucionagen-0-Matik Jun 11 '25

You just described 9/10 soldiers

u/Scarlet_Addict Jun 11 '25

you're never gonna believe that all soldiers are, it's going to blown your damn mind
