Why are Marines (US) not "soldiers"?

God, yes. What a cringeworthy term. I feel like it’s a term thought up by REMFs to disguise the fact that they are REMFs.

So of course it’s being pushed hard by the biggest wannabe “warfighter” and REMF of all: the current SecDef. And don’t get me started on his new moniker. :roll_eyes:
