Culture

The Marine Corps is, in essence, a martial sub culture. I do not buy us as a martial culture for the reason that we are not born Marines. We are born people. We volunteer for this. We do this to ourselves. We come from the regular world and just assimilate into this one. We BECOME Marines. FOREVER.

The modern world forgets how much it owes to martial cultures. Laws, rules of conduct, what ever church they belong to, supermarkets. Most notably Americans forget to realize that we are a super power because we bullied, intimidated and fought to be one. All the people who bitch about the military seem to over look the fact that they are not starving. Or oppressed to the point that a family member from every family has been killed by the government, or unable to travel from state to state on a whim, or are imprisioned for talking bad about the state. The poor don’t complain about the military. Only the most comfortable Americans complain and judge.

I wish we could leave sometimes, all of us who fight. Fight for the idiots on M TV, and the war dead protesters, and the people who think the military is bad. How long before foreign boats with troops show up off shore, eager to take possessions like the European powers did in the 1600s?

We fight for Americans. Our prosperity. Safety. We fight just as much for the student of the month as the death row inmate. For the 3 job family struggling to make it, as the deviant using the welfare system to not work on purpose. We fight for all of you. Because we LIKE to fight. We LIVE to fight. We ARE martial.

The sheep think THEY did this, with there good nature and happy thoughts. America is the cats me-wow ‘cause we recycle and talk nice and treat everyone fairly. What would the sheep do when we left? Bake cookies and talk it out? We, as a responsible(?) society need to realize that we make the world go round with our raw, overt aggression. With our Martial sub-culture.

I found that there is a REAL universal language in my 20 country travels, and it is a Marine pointing a service rifle at a dude who thinks he is gonna do something that Marine doesn’t want him doing. Universally understood as “stop, before this day becomes your last.”

We were born in a war. The Marines have fought in EVERY one of our nations wars but we have stopped more than can be counted. Just by showing up to the party. People like us are a deterent to people trying to pray on the weak. We are here to help. And we will help all those in need.

You need not thanks us. You should just think before you open your mouth. I don’t care how old you are. I don’t care where you went to school. I don’t care what the rest of the world does. I don’t care how you feel about war. Just think about running water, working sewers, clean clothes, average income, public school, and your cell phone, and then remember you only have that because of ME.

We are here to help.
