![]() It's far from splitting hairs. Like the others said, I'll respectfully correct anyone that calls me a soldier, instead of Marine. I'd expect members of the other branches to do the same.
Next time you meet a Dr., refer to him/her as nurse then ask if its just splitting hairs. Regardless, great that the university is honoring Cpl Carpenter - I'd love to be there to watch. As it is, I'll be stuck watching here in TX surrounded by Aggies! Semper Fi and Go Cocks!

![]() It's all too confusing. Can I just call you John, Jack, or Jimmy?

I dont really understand what the hang up is with this. If you can't respect a person who put there life on the line for their country enough to call them by what they ask then you dont respect them for what they did serving the military. I guess that comes from being surrounded by marines, soldiers, sailors, and airmen. As much as they give each other enough grief anyway, someone who hasn't served has no idea the work you have to put into earning that title. And until they do doesn't get a say in my opinion. |

I agree with most of this but I have to disagree with your oversimplification of the differences. My WWII D-Day veteran dad and the men he served with would take exception to being called an occupying force when they were storming the beaches at Normandy. |

with regard to your doctor/nurse analogy, I'd say most people's intent is more like calling a neurosurgeon a doctor instead of a neurosurgeon. we all know it is way harder to be a neurosurgeon than a family doctor, but are just using the term loosely.

People in the Army say thing like " I was a xxxxx in the Army" People in the Navy say "I was xxxxx in the Navy" Marines just say I AM a Marine. Never ends, and it cheapens everything a Marine went through and every sacrifice other Devil Dogs made to call them anything other than "MARINE"
