Hey I love all my jarhead brothers and squid but come on. There are plenty of Rangers, Paratroopers, and SF over there representing the Army. However, there are more embedded reporters with many of these Marine Units.

Hell back in the mid 90's I got in my share of firefights with Zairian militants while returning fire side by side with our French Foreign Legion counterparts. I guarantee nobody outside of our unit heard of those events. In fact the P.R.O., Public Relations Officer, would often tell press that it was just the rebels celebrating this or that, when in reality I had bullets bouncing off of the ground just a few feet from my head. And the only celebrating they were doing was possibly over one of our deaths. Bottom line is there are men and women, mostly men, in both the Army and Marines making the ultimate sacrifice. One may cry Semper Fi while the other, Hooyaa, but in the end you are all brothers in arms.
