Why do Marines need to advertise so much?

[J]

It is NOT advertising

All the armed services use to train their people extremely well, and indoctrinate them into a military life. I don't know how the training is today.

This really is a good thing as it helps them survive in a very hostile environment (someone trying to kill you every waking moment).

The Marines take this to a higher level, and instill a camaraderie into their people that stays with them forever. Their saying says it all;

Once a Marine, Always a Marine.

Their other slogan, Gung Ho has been ridiculed so much and has become a bad thing in some people's minds BUT in Chinese it means HARMONY IN WORK or WORKING TOGETHER

Who is wrong? The Marines or the idiots that ridicule GUNG HO

Don't complain about what our former troops camaraderie and pride exhibit, just respect and honor the freedom that they have insured for you Some gave you that freedom with their lives!

What are you doing with the freedom they gave you?

You owe them the respect and courtesy, to not complain about their camaraderie and pride exhibits.

So that you know, I was not a Marine, I was Army for two tours in VietNam. And ALL Marines are my brothers!
