Are the United States Marines a bunch of pansies?
I will try to answer the question without directly giving a yes or no.
Just in case though, I'll answer it at the end of my post.
So, we had a ward activity on Monday at Deer Creek.
There were 4 boats there, and we were all going to take it in turns wake-boarding and doing other typical boat/water things.
Those of you who know me well, know I don't have much body fat, and shiver when in cold water.
So, while walking towards the boat, this one guy (who's going to Iraq soon) sees that I'm shivering, and kicks water in my face. I warn him that if he does it again, I'll face plant him in the sand. He laughs it off saying he's a marine, and done boot-camp blah blah blah.
Eager to make him look like a fool, I tell him again. Sure enough, he kicks more water in my face. 3 seconds later his face was in the sand, while I got on to the boat. He didn't really say anything after that.
yes.

Sure it was arrogant of him to kick water in your face, and then disgrace the name of the United States Marine Corps buy claming it to justify his adolescent behavior. But it also seems very mature of you to "put his face in the sand". I’m sure you’re the bigger man for doing it too. Next time, think about what you say and do, before glorifying it in your blog. Don’t assume anything my friend; none of the Marines I know are “pansies”. And until you have stepped in his/ her shoes and had to make the decisions they have to make in a split second, you have no right to call anyone a “pansie”. It’s not easy being a Marine. So do yourself a favor and never, ever disgrace your country by calling one of your service men a “bunch of pansies”.
