Universal Warrior

"Some people just don’t get it. When you hear the title Marines, people usually think or have the thoughts of the 200lb monsters ready to pull you appendages off who are locked in a glass cage that has a sign reading, break only in case of war. Well……ok, the cages are really steel but that doesn’t matter.

In today’s battles and continuous threats against America, Marines and the other services have grown way past the traditional in your gut fighting. Don’t get me wrong for a second, we Marines like to fight and are more than happy to do it when the call comes. Throughout the past few years when the light came on your Marines were ready. Not only to kick butt but to go way beyond of basic tactics. Today’s demands require Marines to be able to evolve from one mission to another in a blink of an eye. Terms like 3 block war use to be the foundation of Marine training. Now young Marines find themselves fighting head on one minute then conducting humanitarian missions the next only to roll back into head on fighting an hour later"
