[QUOTE="surjimmy, post: 3327576, member: 1551"] It is one of the things that will change you forever. It's really weird, when a Marine meets another Marine. It's almost like he's already a friend. I don't see this in any other service. (I am not putting down the Service's) I'm just making an observation.. A Anonymous Canadian phrased it best. Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat their service as if it were some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost every- thing they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentlemanly lengths, worshipping their Commandant almost as if he were a God, and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They'll fight like rabid dogs at a drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action, and are the cockiest SOB's I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond man's normal limits, but their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and, generally speaking, the United States Marines I've come in contact with are the most professional sodiers and finest men I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
