Why is it we are supposed to bow down before the marines? Yea they go overseas and fight, but they knew what they signed up for, its not a sudden shock, and they are getting paid for it, its their job, just like the local police and state troopers, its their job. You dont hear all the praise for the law enforcement as you do for the armed forces. Its all a choice, what about the local Iron Worker that fell to his death while working on the job?? He volunteered for it and was getting paid, IT WAS HIS JOB!!!
