A person under the command of the Department of the Navy who is so dumb and easily brainwashed that they are actually proud to only serve 2 real purposes:

A) Be the first sent into a country to deplete the enemy's supply of ammunition.

B) Poke mines with a stick.
Check out the leatherneck over there! I've never seen someone so proud to be a glorified bullet sponge!

Some perv who chocks his chicken so much it's got callouses on it.
That fuckin Perv I he beats off so much he must make 10 trips to the Porta Potty daily his dick must look like a leatherneck on a turkey.

No wonder he has to go to church and rat on himself to the priest and ask the priest to ask God for forgiveness.
