Oo-rah!
Some important tips to remember when dealing with a marine (or teasing them) ... (from a distance)
1. Never call a marine 'soldier' unless you a) know you can get away or b) happen to be bigger and stronger than said marine and could (potentially) live through a beating. I'm alive to write this today because I happened to fall under option B that day.
2. There is no such thing as an ex-marine.
3. Even if you know you can take a marine down in a fair fight, remember that they probably have guns back at home.
4. It's 'oo-rah', not 'hoo-rah'. Pretending to having had made an accidental gutteral sound might save you the first time.
5. Marines have this mentality that because they prefer running headlong into bullets as opposed to circumnavigating said bullets in a strategic manuever makes them omnipotent. If you're going to argue logic with a marine on this matter, make sure to turn off your brain first, lest you leave the conversation wondering how that particular branch of the military has survived thus far.
It's a wonder I'm still alive. Must be that southern charm or something.
