It's not that easy to not give up. If you don't know what your doing you won't do anything right and trust me, you will give up. 2/3 of SEALS recruits give up before basic is over. In the Marines your not really allowed to quit, but it is very difficult training.

And you don't wanna be a SEAL just because one you met was a dick? Do you think you will become a dick just because he was one? Or that your marriages will fail because his did? Your not really making sense.

Who cares if they were part of the Navy? They're still Marines. And yeah i'm well aware of the Marines' function and their tasks are very difficult.

Retreating is not bad, you have to retreat sometimes for strategic purposes and such. What's bad is surrendering, which the Marines have only done once, at Wake Island in WW2, and that was only because the US Navy abandoned them. The fleet that was being sent to help them and to destroy the jap fleet turned around and knowingly left them for dead, to deal with the huge Japanese invasion force and fleet by themselves. The Marines did an amazing job of holding out but eventually had to surrender.

War is all about victory and i never said war was good.
