@sebasman77

Well how did it go? Im sure you encountered other soldiers who knew a little MA that gave you a run for your money

[volkzor]

Looks like one of them was a Marine. Marines are not Soldiers, they are Marines, small nitpick I know.

@volkzor

Um, depends on whether the "S" in soldiers is capitalized or not. It's like saying the Army Rangers aren't Special Forces. They're special forces, but not Special Forces. Kinda silly sometimes.

@JasonRedfield

Not really. Marines are Marines. You won't call a Seaman or Airman a Soldier, and you don't call Marines Soldiers either. The all inclusive term is Servicemember. The capitalisation of S in soldier was pretty recent too (4-5 years).

@volkzor

Not true. I remember Googling it, and the USMC has a pretty good history of even calling THEMSELVES soldiers. I try to avoid calling them soldiers, but I don't see the problem with it.
