The Marines deserve our nations thanks and respect.
As to your question, you may/may not be aware that the Marines break down a recruit's mind as they physically train the recruit. Their idea is to wipe out a persons past personality and replace it with a cold blooded warrior. You would have in no way have lived the past that you actually have. You may/may not have ever gotten married, had kids, live where you do, etc. You could be war disabled or have been killed in action. None can say for sure, but for sure becoming a Marine changes a person for life.
