Re: The "I am a marine not a soldier"

I'm an old Marine. Never a soldier. Although the term Naval Infantry is applicable (notice I didn't say Navy infantry :) ) I was happy to call myself a "naval officer" in the Department of the Navy, but never in the Navy.

I always had an appreciation for the Vietnamese term for Marine however - "Tuy Quan Luc Chien" or TQLC, literally "water soldier who fights on land" has a certain poetry to it.
