I’m in the Air Force.
Never claimed to be from an ELITE ORGANIZATION…
But not ALL marines are trained in the “art” of war. They have specific career fields that are very hard core and are actually required to kill. But not all marines fall into this category…
I’ve met many marines who tout the “trained killer” routine, then when you ask them what they do it’s something like “oh I work in HVAC, or Electrician”. We do have elite forces, but they come from ALL branches.
Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Air Force Combat Controllers, Marine Infantry, Delta Force, and many other career fields which truly are the ELITE. I’m sorry but a lot of regular marines couldn’t beat their way out of a paper bag and will never be asked to kill. I just don’t like when people classify “the marines” as the elite. Some marines fall into that category, not all IMO.[/quote]
All Marines are riflemen[/quote]
Knowing how to shoot is very different then being trained in the “art” of killing. Many marines tout this bullshit and never had to actually take a life. How can you be trained in something you’ve never done??
I’m not trying to bash the marines who have unfortunately had to take lives, merely pointing out that the one’s who have never deployed, who have never fired on another man and taken a life have no business comparing themselves with “trained killers”. You are not a trained killer if you are not a killer. Most people who have actually taken a life, don’t like to brag about it. But those that go thru 2 months of bootcamp and never see real combat like to throw these phrases out there like it’s something to be proud of. Killing another man is something that is done out of necessity, and isn’t something that people who have not done so should brag about or claim to know how to do unless you’ve actually done so.
Knowing how to kill somone/ knowing how to shoot is something easily learned, actually taking a life is not so easy, give credit where credit is due. Some marines have killed, a lot haven’t, many in other branches have, and many in other branches have had to do so repeatedly. Negating all the other branches and calling “the marines” the elite few discredits those in the special forces who truly are the elite and have dedicated their lives and spent YEARS training (not months) on how and when to kill.

Defensive much? What, exactly, are you trying to compensate for? Sitting at a desk while the officers fight for you?
