New Marine commercial in Detroit

[kenp]

I saw this commercial during the NCAA Basketball game Saturday. Nice commercial about a soldier from Detroit. They are obviously taking advantage of the success of the Chrysler commercial.

The commercial actually began airing around the time of the Super Bowl. I first saw it while I was in the middle of discussing the Chrysler ad with some friends at a bar.

Soldiers are in the Army.

Capt. Williams is a Marine.

Jarhead jargon.

Jarhead jargon.

No. not really "jargon", just the correct term. A "soldier" refers to a member of the land forces or of an Army. Marines are defined as a naval service that exists entirely within the Department of the Navy [[ahem, as the saying goes... the "Men's" Department) and is composed of "amphibious" units composed of land, sea and air elements....hence the distinction. Someone in the Air force isn't a "soldier" either.

Baily is 100% correct.

Army = soldiers
Air Force = airmen
Navy = sailors, seaman, etc.
Marines are Marines, and recognized newspaper style is to capitalize Marines when referring to members of the U.S. Marine Corps -- "soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines."

Marines is lowercase when referring in general terms to naval infantry. "South Korean marines repelled the attack."

I didnt mean to insult either the Marines or the Army, I was merely ignorant of the differance in a soldier.
Still a great commercial.
