Military personell that have been stuffed so full of shit that they think they are more useful than they actually are.
Common
Marine culture states that their training is "a challenge of a liftime" and that they are invaluable to the modern
U.S. military. They bring no more to the
U.S. military than any other branch and their training is not much more difficult than anything you'll go through in the military. In fact, if you compared to the "elite warrior" (because Marines believe they are) programs of other branches it is easier.
They only believe all this because they are told this from the very beginning, including the recruiting process. The Marines have found a niche in recruiting by making people believe they are the "elite fighting" branch and it has worked effectively.
While other branches have taken other routes.
Army recruiters tell you that combat is an option. Navy recruiters tell you that their boot camp is
easy and is only six weeks. While Air Force recruiters
will tell you that they are the most technological military branch and are the
head of the
U.S. military's nuclear power and aviation.
The truth is, joining the
Army is becoming a soldier. A soldier is a warrior and a fighter so expect combat. Navy training is not
easy, the basic training isn't even six weeks. All of the training can take anywhere from four months to two and a half years. The Air Force isn't the top in any fucking thing, they pretty much share nuclear and
air dominance with the Navy.
Most people who join the military are
boys who think that the Marines/
Army/Navy/Air Force
will make them men, when in reality it
will just make them into assholes. The others who want to give something back to their country are heroes. I used to be the former and I've grown up since then.
