It was a dark, stormy, night. The Marine was on his first assignment, and it was guard duty. A General stepped out taking his dog for a walk. The nervous young Private snapped to attention, made a perfect salute, and snapped out, "Sir, Good Evening, Sir!"

The General, out for some relaxation, returned the salute and said "Good evening soldier, nice night, isn't it?"

Well it wasn't a nice night, but the Private wasn't going to disagree with the General, so he saluted again and replied, "Sir, Yes Sir!"

The General continued, "You know there's something about a stormy night that I find soothing, it's really relaxing. Don't you agree?"

The Private didn't agree, but he was just a Private, and responded, "Sir, Yes Sir!"

The General, pointing at the dog, "This is a Golden Retriever, the best type of dog to train."

The Private glanced at the dog, saluted yet again, and said, "Sir, Yes Sir!"

The General continued "I got this dog for my wife."

The Private simply said, "Good trade, Sir!"

Great joke, but a Marine general would never refer to a Marine private as "soldier," even if the private were a recruit and therefore, not yet a Marine.

Just saying.

Army has soldiers, Marine Corps has Troops

Actually, the Marine Corps has Marines and we hold our Navy Corpsmen in high esteem.

I seem to have heard or saw something about Marines being called troops recently and the term does apply to Marines, but it applies equally so to soldiers and as far as I know every other branch of the service in a generic sense.

Let us not belabor the point, however.
