    The Marines I know that saw combat are often messed up with PTSD and feel lost without their units, but still seem very proud to have been Marines.

      As the full saying goes, the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. Soldiers being through shit and wanting to stick together afterwards is a trait as old as warfare itself.

      Yeah, it’s completely normal to put on rose colored glasses years later…

      That’s entirely different than seeing it and still being in.
