What is a Marine?

What is a Marine? 229 years of romping, stomping, hell, death, and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. We were born in a bomb crater my mother was an M16, my father was the devil, and each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life.

I'm a roughish-looking, roving soldier of the sea. I am cocky, self-centered, overbearing, and I do not know the meaning of fear, for I am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and guts who arose from the sea, whose sole purpose in life is to perpetuate death and destruction on the festering of anti-Americanism throughout the globe, wherever it may arise. And when my time comes, I'll die a glorious death on the battlefield, giving my life to Mom, Apple Pie, and the American flag.

We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army and on the seventh day, while God rested, we overran his perimeter and stole the globe, and we've been running the show ever since. We live like soldiers, talk like sailors, and slap the hell out of both of them at the same time.

Marine by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice, UNITED STATES MARINE BY ACT OF GOD.
