As to posers (a.k.a. "poseurs"), it is a simple matter, really: if one has fought for right and freedom with clean honor (or else been prepared to) while enlisted or commissioned in the United States Marine Corps, one is NOT a poser. Anyone else claiming the title is a poser. EGA or not. Attitude is everything, both for those on active duty as well as those who are not (but who, nonetheless, shall be Marines, always) !

It is all contained in The Marines Hymn. I refuse, for example, to acknowlege the "likes" of Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Whitman, inter alios, as ever having REALLY been Marines. Attitude is everything !
And, as has been posted elsewhere: The three Corps Values: honor, courage, commitment. They make up the bedrock of the character of each individual Marine....

When he is in that zone, he is in that zone.

There is no disrespect intended, I am genuinley interested in his thoughts. He suggests that one can exchange fact with opinion and or intentions.

Core principles=essential to formation of a Marine
No principles=no Marine..
