You are reading too much into it.

 

Why celebrate the 4th of July each year? How is that any different?

 

wtf? I am reading too much into it?...Sheesh

I just seems odd to go out of your way to make the point that the Corps is not a human being.

 

Whatever, not a big deal.

He's just ignorant to the fact that the Marine Corps is far more than just another branch of the armed forces.

Alright.

 

I'll bite.

 

I'll ask the question everyone will be dying to ask. What is the Marine Corps if they are far more than just another branch of the armed forces?

 

I hate to be cliche... but if you have to ask, you'll never understand.

 

The Marine Corps is a way of life. You join the other branches to do a job, you join the Marine Corps to be a Marine. Unlike the other branches, tradition and history is extremely important to Marines and this is made obvious on a daily basis as well as on November 10th of every year when Marines past and present attend formal birthday ball's for the Corps. I was fortunate enough to attend the one with 4th ANGLICO this year where all of us poolee's were officially sworn in after the playing of the hymn, it's a moment i'll never forget.
