Why do people in the marine corps like to fight so much? No intelligence?

Question

I was at a bar in jacksonville NC. and the drunker they got the rowdier they got. its almost as if they are animals driven by testasterone and lack of brains. definatley the toughest in the military. but possibly the stupidest.

Answer 1

Your girlfriend got boinked a by Marine didn't she?

I take it you've never experience combat. Are you smart enough to effectively manuver in a firefight when 7.62's are coming at you? Let's see how smart you are then.

Are you smart enough to memorize "Call for Fire", "9 Line MedEvac", all the UCMJ Articles, 231 years of history, etc. You want to tell me how dumb I am now?

It's retards like you that makes me want to fight so much. Before you talk sh!t about anyone, check yourself first. Grammar is a way to measure intelligence; I guess you don't have any.

Answer 2

First of all Jacksonville is all Marines. Marines are under a lot of stress - just as any branch of the military - sometimes they need to blow off some steam. Go back to that bar and tell them your opinion, I'm sure that you will really like the response you get!!!! Hope you have good insurance!

Answer 3

Let me begin by saying, you're an idiot.

I was a marine for 10 years, and I love my country. I have fought for my country and our freedoms.

I am not going to say I was never in a bar fight, but it wasn't becuase of lack of intelligence. I happen to have a very high IQ and a master's degree.

Marines are warriors. We are trained to sacrifice ourselves so that freedom may prevail.

The next time you make such a generalization perhaps you should look inward first. It is left-wing garbage, anti-millitary, jerks like you that are destroying the very fabric of our society.

If you don;t like the millitary, maybe you should find a new country. WE ARE THE REASON YOU ENJOY FREEDOM!

Answer 4

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.
2nd Lt. Richard C. Kennard, Peleliu, World War II

Answer 5

If you recall "Pavla's dogs" (not sure of the spelling), where he trained these dogs to come running, expecting to be fed with the light turned on and a bell was rung? The dogs were trained to respond to a specific stimuli. And they learned. A similar thing happens in the military to the marines. They are taught, with repeated reinforcement that they are the fighting few...the proud...the marines. They are taught not to think on their own, to instantly respond to the command to fight. Would you expect them to be any different? Maybe when they are alone, their individual traits may come out, but as a group, showing any signs of disloyalty to the corps would be nothing less than treason...in their eyes anyway.

Answer 6

The Corps trained me for years to protect myself, my combat unit, and your right to say BS like this. I am proud to serve. I am disappointed that ignorant as ses like yourself benefit from the freedoms we have fought so hard to preserve.

We are ready to deploy on a moments notice.
We leave our homes, wives and children with no idea when, or if we will be back. We go places and see things that no human being should ever have to see. We carry home the pieces of our fallen friends, and deliver them to their grieving families. We talk to no one because our missions are often classified, we don't want to scare our families, and we don't want to hear your whiny BS.

On October 23 1983 I lost almost everyone I knew in Beirut.
We were there to protect innocent civilians. We were there because it was the right thing to do.

How dare you call my men, my freinds, "stupid".

Answer 7

We dont like to fight, you can go to any bar and its loud and rowdy. You wouldnt see any more violence at a bar crowded with Marines than you would with one crowded with civilians. Its a way to unwind after a hard day, there is a lot complaining going on, and a lot of razzing of people but its in good fun and it rarely goes into violence in my experience.

Answer 8

They are tough so idiots like you can ask these types of questions. Please don't tell me you have never seen alcohol
testosterone in any of your friends at a Bar? Hey, stop going to the Bar eh?

Answer 9

It could simply have been the fact you were a yankee in a Southern bar. We're smart like that.

Answer 10

Their job is fighting and they are conditioned to fight so it's only expected when they drink the aggression will surface even in civilian surroundings.
