Capitalize Marine retard. H*ll, some of the Marines I've met are some of the smartest motherf*ckers I've ever met. Some of the Marines in my company are Pre-Med, Pre-Law, Bio-Chem students. Others are business owners, police officers, attorneys, MMA fighters, etc. Tell me if those Marines have mentalities of lab rats?

Sh*t, can you effecttively manuveur in a fire fight? It takes a strategist to effectively do this. With 7.62's flying at your head, I doubt your dumb f*ck @ss can do this.

Actually, lines and strains of lab rats are carefully maintained and new ones meticulously selected so as to have a pure benchmark in order to perform very important repeatable experiments that has led to many breakthroughs in medicine.

So let's just see some history of the Marine Corps to see how these "lab rats" have repeatedly performed:

My only answer as to why the Marines get the toughest jobs is because the average Leatherneck is a much better fighter. He has far more guts, courage, and better officers... These boys out here have a pride in the Marine Corps and will fight to the end no matter what the cost.

No. Just go see a recruiter and tell them you want to be a rifleman. They'll take real good care of you.
