Perhaps it is true the Marines' enlisted corps have less college education than other services,

I guess this wouldn't be a really good time to mention Jarheads, would it?

The url points out that 25% of Marines are too young to drink and that 66% are under the age of 25. Anyone that has spent any time around the lower ranks of the Corps, knows they are truly a breed apart. They even defend Americans that don't think much of them.

Personally, I'm glad they are willing to serve.
