So, you think you miserable lot of baby-faced tropers want to make a trope about us? If you work hard enough you might be good enough to lick our boots. For we are the best in the world and you better know it. When you answer me, the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be ‘sir’! Is that clear, troper?! Louder! I CAN’T HEAR YOU! Yes, United States Marines are just better. They are a “Proud Warrior Race” all their own. Every Marine is a “Blood Knight” and they are held in check only by their “Drill Instructor Nasties”. They are commanded by “Colonel Badasses” and “General Rippers”, and they are the truest devotees of “The Spartan Way”. They are so committed to their job that they are almost a “Church Militant”. Do not mess with the Corps. Ooh-rah! That is the Marine myth. Like most successful myths, it has some basis in fact. The idea is recognizably similar in kind with the myths of several other elite military units, like the “French Foreign Legion” or the “Gurkhas”. What makes the Marine myth special is simply that many Americans take pleasure in it and therefore Hollywood does, creating wider mileage… ~ Semper Fi – TV Tropes
