@Brothertim: The air of superiority and unassailability is something that's built into Marines from the day they get to boot camp. As to the seemingly uncalled-for aggression, that's our daily lifestyle and a valid form of communication for us Until recently, if a Marine fucked up, you beat the shit out of him, PT'd his ass until he dropped, and repeated until he corrected his deficiency. When we get bored, we fight. It's a lifestyle of focused violence.
