This is a story abut MARINES, not soldiers. 

Yes true.. all though, should all be respected equally hence why I just put soldiers

I think the point that Kopf makes though is that Marines often put themselves in their own corner and like to be thought of as not just soldiers, but as specifically "Marines" as a term or title of honor and distinction

Oh I know...  that's why I wanted to he one..  true they are in a different class...  first in, last out...

They are not soldiers. They are Marines. Marines are distinguished by their mission, their training, their history, their uniform and their esprit de corps.

You would not call a sailor a soldier, an airman a soldier, and certainly you should not call a Marine a soldier.

This in no way diminishes the members of the U.S. Army, who are called soldiers, and their accomplishments.

This may be perceived as a small point to someone who has never served in the U.S. military. But to a Marine, it is at the core of their existence. Semper Fi!

Well said sir.

I'm just proud to be 'merican and that we have these brave marines and soldiers fighting for us so we can enjoy our daily lives here. Oh and the awesome opportunity to ride our ducs!
