My father is an ex-marine. He'd never question another man's
virility.

Careful. There's no such thing as an "ex-Marine"

Damn straight. Which he would know if his father really was a former
Marine.

Wow. Now it's all making sense. JiminFl owes you an apology about the
draft.
Back in the 60's gays were not allowed in the military.

What, you're now saying that because I called him and ex-marine that
he didn't serve as a Marine?

WTF is the difference between "former" and "ex" asshole.

Are you joining the ranks of idiots that abound in rec.boats?

He is a former Marine, like many others here.

Once a Marine - Always a Marine

Being a Marine is a state of mind. It is an experience some have likened
more to a calling than a profession. Being a Marine is not a job – not a
paycheck; it is not an occupational specialty. It is not male or female,
majority or minority; nor is it a rank insignia. Stars, bars, or
chevrons are only indicators of the responsibility or authority we hold
at a given time. Rather, being a Marine comes from the eagle, globe, and
anchor that is tattooed on the soul of every one of us who wears the
Marine Corps uniform. It is a searing mark in our innermost being which
comes after the rite of passage through boot camp or Officer Candidates
School when a young man or woman is allowed for the first time to say,
“I’m a United States Marine.” And unlike physical or psychological
scars, which, over time, tend to heal and fade in intensity, the eagle,
globe, and anchor only grow more defined – more intense – the longer you
are a Marine. "Once a Marine, always a Marine."

Shortpants is neither a "former", or "ex" asshole.

Good point. I omitted a strategic comma.

Understand what, exactly? The old marine mystique? I'm as grateful as
any American for the service of marines and other uniformed personnel in
the last great war.
