Ok, my statement was a joke saying that he was obviously crazy for saying Marines were gay. It was a JOKE. J-O-K-E. Joke. Besides, other than killing things and blowing stuff up, training, drinking, and having sex, our other thing is to make fun of the other branches (especially the Army). Besides, it is a bit different if I say something about the military than if one you guys who isn’t in makes fun of something about it. With me, I’m fighting for the same overall goal, my means and ways are different, but I’m going for the same end result. Besides, none of oyu who have replied are in the Army so when you insult the Marine I’ll fight back. If you were in the army and the insult was actually coming from you, it’d be like “Aw man, why’d you have to say that…” and some friendly insult would follow.
If someone says the Marines can’t take a joke, would that also be an insult? -_-
Sheez, the guy insults so many things in that list that it’s hardly something directed against Marines. It’s like saying that “everyone on Earth sucks” is anti-Semitic. The more I hear from you the gladder I am that I don’t know any Marines, if they’re all as thuggish as you’re making them out to be.
You see, we don’t let people talk badly about the Marien Corps, ESPECIALLY if they aren’t in the military. If someone if the military dos it is a display of pride sort of. If someone else does it, they are just knocking it. It doesn’t matter if it is a joke or not. You have to set the record straight. The military is VERY competitive. Heck, we even exhcange insults liek these within the Marien Corps between the active and reserve parts. I’m a reserve, but when I’m with other Marines, espceially if they are/were active, I’ll say “Yeah, I’m just a nasty reserve/tampon/weekend warrior”. However, if I’m with another branch of service or civilians, I’m just a Marine.
Of course, since you missed my initial joke that started this whole thing, I’d say you can’t take a joke. I might as well quiet humor hear since some people are a bit too sensitive and their feelings are easily hurt. Maybe I’ll put a nice big “JOKE” in front any jokes i make so that you won’t be confused and offeneded next time. Also, believe it or not, but Marines are EXTREMELY polite (I’m more so than others, at least in uniform). However, we don’t go through 3 months of boot camp, other training, go to foreign lands, and die just so that you can talk badly about us. Boot camp instills pride of country and Corps in us. If you don’t ahve the same pride, then your drill instructors failed. Our hymn even shows our pride.
"Here’s to health to you and to our Corps which we are proud to serve. In many a strife we’ve fought for life and we’ve never lost our nerve. If the Army or the Navy ever look on heaven’s scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines "
We have so much pride in the title “Marine” (yes, it is a title), that ulike the other services, like the Army that call you “soldier” in boot camp and stuff, that give you the title while in training, we don’t get called Marines until the day before graduation. We work hard for it. The emblem we get when we become Marines is on all of our uniforms just because we have that much pride and we show it off.
If Varan came by and started bagguing on the Marine Corps, I would fight it, but I wouldn’t be as upset since he would just be promotiing his serice of choice and the Marine Corps and Army are rivals. We do compete. Heck, I took and Army ROTC class and my teacher would rag on the other services, especially the Marine Corps. However, that was fine since he actually was a soldier. He was doing it to the Marine Corps, just as we do it to the Army.
Bottom line is, we don’t let ANYBODY insult the Marine Corps.
I was just joking that he was out of his mind since he said Marine are gay. I was joking that it is like "well, we need no further proof, this statement alone proves his insanity."It’s liek , this conclusively decieds that he is insane desptie what the other 212 things say.
Also, if you wanted to cut out any humor, it still works without insulting anyone since before you join any branch of service, you read and sign a paper saying that you won’t be gay and if you do do gay things you know the consequences. So therefore no Marine can be truly or fully gay legally, same for a soldier, airman, or sailor. We have “don’t ask, don’t tell”, but you still can’t be gay, Don’t ask, don’t tell just says that as long as you don’t show or say you’re gay, you’re fine.
Fianlly, if you saw the amount of porn, sex, and womanizing in the Marine Corps, you know that homosexuallity is not a Marine thing.
