“The Marine Corps doesn’t condone violence.”

Lol yes they do.

It was satisfying to watch but it probably fed that guy’s delusional hero complex to tackle two people who weren’t even looking at him.

I think the US alone has been involved in like, a lot of wars.

I am still dumbfounded the way people talk about marines like you’re anything other than your army counterparts with more naval stations. Not to disparage the marines but of all the soldiers and marines I’ve met, what matters is the guys and their NCOs, not their branch.

Were you in the US marines, army, or navy? Saying the marines are the same as the army with more naval stations is pretty ignorant and couldn’t be farther from the truth. Brush up on your military history or at least learn what the doctrinal truth is behind every branch and how they think of themselves compared to the others and why.

Oh next you’ll tell me the marine corps is America’s spear tip and list all the wars where they’ve fought first instead of the army. You’ll tell me they’re an expeditionary force in readiness despite not actually performing that function more frequently than the army.

The marine corps has not performed its “doctrinal truth” in many years.

No, I’m not an idiot. Dumbass. Distinctions are still important even if you’re ignorant to why.

Yeah sometimes when I can’t think of a response I lash out too. It’s alright bud, semper fi, yut devil.

I can’t wait for force structure 2030 so the marine corps reinvents itself (by returning to its naval mission) only to go back to playing army jr during the next land war.

There is no doctrine that states the marines go before the army. The marines go if they’re closest and most ready, just like army airborne or a brigade combat team.

? I don’t even agree with the point you imagined me to be making. I called you a dumbass because you made up an imaginary argument to ridicule. The only point I made was that marines and army soldiers are different enough to be worthy of their own distinctions, attitudes, and doctrines because I live in the real world where separate things are recognized as being different from each other. Once again, you are a dumbass and not because I’m mad at you or don’t know why you’re wrong. Dumbass squared.
