From the Halls of Montezuma To the shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land, and sea; First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title Of United States Marine. Our flag's unfurled to every breeze From dawn to setting sun; We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun; In the snow of far-off Northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes, You will find us always on the job The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our Corps Which we are proud to serve; In many a strife we've fought for life And never lost our nerve. If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes, They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.
I post this for the memory of the fallen, and for respect of the people who have and are serving. |

Whether corrupt or not, respect for the people who have died isn't.
Humans are naturally territorial and very greedy, without a fighting force any country can be invaded because that is human nature. Just because it is American does not demean any of the lives of the people who have died defending their families.
Think about other militaries as well, your local police force, even your fire department, your healthcare? Do you not care these people die to protect you? Those who fight with fire and disease, those who jail criminals? There is at least one corrupt person in every one of them, but there are also the good men and women who joined for a legitimate cause to help people.
Whether or not you are an American, Canadian, Englishman, Russian, etc you have people that die for you every single day regardless of what title they have. Today signifies 240 years of an American military branch of people who have died, and are still marching on, and many of them are there for a legitimate and just reason; to help those in need and to protect their family. |

I'm not American, yet I still respect those who've died in the Marines.

To the idiots that say they aren't American so they don't have a need to care.
We'd most likely be helping you and protecting your bumasses in a war so think about that, LOL. |
