“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”

A volunteer branch of the United States Armed Services who historically have protected, are protecting and will continue to protect the freedom and rights of all Americans. The same brave men and women who help to uphold the first amendment right that allows us various freedoms, such as the freedom to submit slang terms to this site.

The best branch of the US Military. They live and fight like soldiers and airmen, but they talk like sailors.
Soldiers: We fight on land
Airmen: We attack from above
Sailors: We fight on Sea
Marines: We do everything the other guys do. We just do it better.

A branch of the US Armed Forces. Marines go through approximately three months of intense training, peaking at the Crucible, in which the recruits must work together as a team throughout a fifty-four hour operation with minimal rest. The Crucible tests all of the knowledge gained throughout training, and is truly the final test for a recruit. Marines are trained to work in smaller groups with less modern weaponry, however this requires them to be more tactical than the Army. Contrary to popular belief, Marines and the Army are just as important as each other, as are the Air Force and Navy. Whichever a person joins depends on their preference.
The Marines are the first into a battle ground, the Army joins to help the advance, greatly. The Navy secures the shores and fires artillery salvos, and the Air Force provides much needed fire support on high-risk operations. Combined, the force of the US Military surpasses most foes it will encounter. (Exceptions include the Vietcong and Russians, as the Russians never truly engaged US Forces, and the US removed itself from Vietnam.
Please people, stop making biased decisions. The US is awesome, as is everybody else.

Some people spend their entire lives wondering if they've made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

The most diciplined fighting unit in the history of the modern military. A Marine is cunning, exacting, and most of all, deadly. A marine is trained to kill all enemies of the United States Govornemnt. A champion of freedom, and a defender of all of those cant defend themselves. A Marine is a soldier of freedom.
