Please don't call us soldiers! |

The shot was ment for the guy standing in the door. The guy that got hit was just in the wrong place at the wrong time with the right equipment. |

Soldier is the proper noun for a member of the US Army. Sailor is the proper noun for a member of the US Navy. Airman is the proper noun for a member of the USAF. And Marine is the proper noun for a member of the USMC. I don't remember what the proper noun is for a Coast Guardsman. The proper generic for all of them is "Troop." So calling a Marine a soldier is saying that he's in the Army. And the Marines are really grumpy about that. And the answer to the question is "E. Guardian Angel working overtime" |

Lion has it dead on and he gets extra points for capitalizing those proper nouns. When refering to a toy soldier lower case is fine if speaking of Soldiers from our nation it is always capitalized (the same for Sailors, Marines and Airmen). My best guess having plenty of Marines as friends is A though G. |

Reminds of the time I called a sub a ship, to a submariner! |

E and G can easily be confused. |

"1–13. Unique capitalization
The following is a selection of style and usage preferences for internal Army correspondence:
a. Capitalize the word "Soldier" when it refers to a U.S. Army Soldier.
b. Capitalize the word "Family" when it refers to U.S. Army Family or Family members.
c. Capitalize the word "Civilian" when it refers to DA civilians and is used in conjunction with Soldier and/or
Family."

There's nothing in the head that a Marine needs to function ;) Joking aside, seems they rolled a 1 on the damage roll. Sometimes you get lucky. |
