    The few. The proud.

    THE MARINES.

    That's how it's supposed to end. And nothing else. It stands for something fundamentally honorable and upright. I feel that using it to promote clicking on ads really cheapens the phrase.

    Just my two cents.

    In the united states, most especially the military, that's what it means. Outside the U.S. most people have never heard that associated with the marines. It's not disrespectful to the marines, but they really don't "own" the phrase.

    Having said that, use by others indicates the supreme pwnage it embodies. Semper Fi

    Eh, i'm all about representing the Corps and all that good stuff... But still, using it to promote clicking on ads? Way to kick it down a notch..

    All the same, I guess it doesn't matter much one way or another.

    The word marine was btw invented by Abe Lincoln as a honorary title for his best soldiers that fought in Africa during the Boer wars!

    Im sure you are aware that Abe Lincoln died in the 1860s and the Boer War was well over 30 years later.
    Also, it was the Brits and Empire contingents/volunteers, not the Americans fighting the Boers.
