The Marine Corps has an exceptional history, G, so don't take this the wrong way...
but say, hypothetically, of course, it was revealed that the Administration of Bush43 prioritized making money for foreigners above the needs of the American population.
Would the faith still be there?
Or would it degrade (if I can be so bold) into a faith in just the Corps, and not one of faith in the country?
I realize that it's just a motto, in a sense, but irony haunts lately, and it seems as if this motto may be part of the current problem.
Somewhere I have a good link, on this subject, from one of your fellow marines, but it's hiding in a folder somewhere...
here's another (semi-)interesting one, for now...

My opinion (not original, no doubt) is that Bush is running on a platform of defense, while he didn't address some of the more serious problems facing your country (and mine, for that matter).
He and his will prosper, regardless.
Still, seems to me like their policies are just sticking a finger in the dike, if yaknowhatimean.
P.S.'s
of course maddaS Hussein was (not-so-)secretly developing WMD.
gee, I wonder why?
I also wonder why the Royal's in Saudi Arabia, allegedly, gave him millions of dollars to be put towards his nuclear program.
Playing both sides, maybe?
I also wonder what percentage, exactly, of the Federal Reserve Bank Bechtel actually owns. Interesting history--the Fed--with a surprising portion apparently owned by the British, Germans, and others. Some of this chit is pretty overt, despite the haze of disinformation.
Kinda like when handicapping...too much information can confound the understanding (just my asshole...

...I mean, opinion).
What's coming through is a lie.
