Where chaos looms, the Few emerge. Marines move toward the sounds of tyranny, injustice and despair — with the courage and resolve to silence them. Marines face down the threats of our time.

Has the Pentagon learned anything over the past decade? The promise of American boots on the ground to challenge tyranny is not what the world wants to hear. The rest of the world does not want or need to be saved by the U.S. Marines.

Likewise, American kids being recruited for military service should not be told they will be trained to protect humanity. They will be trained to kill people in accordance with the dictates of the U.S. government and the entities whose interests the U.S. government serves.
