marines

The ones who actually have to do the dirty work when the government goes to war. They are renowned for being the toughest, and for acting on order without question.

The President may have ordered the strike, but the Marines are the ones who will die for it.

Karate

The art of kicking major ass. Karate originated in Okinawa, developed by peasants who were forbidden from carrying bladed weapons, as a method of defense against armored samurai. The classical style is characterized by very hard, short, “square” movements, as opposed to the “circular” movements of traditional Chinese kung fu, or the “long” strikes of Tae Kwon Do. Karate has since moved from Okinawa to Japan, and then on to the Western world after the U.S. occupation following WW2. Since then many “fake” styles have cropped up all over the world, based on traditional karate but lacking the proper techniques to generate power.

A: "fear my 1337 karate skillz!"
B: "Hate to break it to ya, but that ain't karate."
