call a Marine and watch what happens, they're not "soldiers", thats Army, they're Marines, and any Marine who says s/he doesn't care about that clearly isn't a Marine (i've never met one and i know a lot being in the military myself)
they (Marines) pride themselves on that title, all Marines do, from the US to the UK to the ROK, its a title that few earn and with that comes a sense of pride
I'm not sure this has any applicability to the ME universe, where there don't seem to be any soldiers who are not marines. (Lowercase "m" there because marines aren't a separate service in the Alliance)
i'm not upset over this, i really don't care b/c it is just a game . . . i was simply saying that ppl complaining about Ashley's new look isn't really "military" and was pointing out that BW isn't good when it comes to "real military application"
the whole idea that the Alliance is a combination of all services is really dumb, there's a reason all modern governments have different services, the personnel management, economical and logistical challenge is simply too overwhelming for one branch of government to run an entire military
but i really, really, really don't care, i'm not play ME b/c its a military sim, i'm playing b/c its just a great game (everything else is just nit-picking)
