00:00.431 --> 00:04.598
^- All you need to know is, can you trust your fellow Marine,

00:05.197 --> 00:07.780
^and will they be there for you?

00:07.991 --> 00:10.074
^That is all that matters.

00:11.088 --> 00:11.921
^But you know what?

00:11.921 --> 00:14.460
^We put so much emphasis in the Marine Corps

00:14.460 --> 00:17.043
^about valor on the battlefield,

00:17.610 --> 00:20.801
^and we idolize Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone,

00:20.801 --> 00:24.968
^and we idolize Lance Corporal William Kyle Carpenter

00:24.973 --> 00:27.890
^for his actions on the battlefield.

00:28.562 --> 00:32.729
^But then we get back here, and we hurt each other.

00:33.354 --> 00:35.856
^We get back here, and we go on social media,

00:35.856 --> 00:37.492
^and we become keyboard warriors.

00:37.492 --> 00:39.926
^We go to the PX, we buy a Monster energy drink,

00:39.926 --> 00:42.953
^walk up to our BEQ room, and sit behind a computer

00:42.953 --> 00:44.870
^and become a tough guy.

00:45.912 --> 00:48.973
^Then all of a sudden, assault our fellow Marines.

00:48.973 --> 00:51.959
^That same fellow Marine, whether you believe it or not,

00:51.959 --> 00:54.959
^probably who somebody might assault,

00:56.494 --> 00:59.350
^may also put their life on the same line

00:59.350 --> 01:02.850
^as these individuals that I just read off.

01:05.124 --> 01:08.211
^My point is this, ladies and gentlemen.

01:08.211 --> 01:09.269
^We are Marines.

01:09.269 --> 01:10.102
^That's it.

01:10.298 --> 01:13.163
^And the only colors that we can see, when we stand

01:13.163 --> 01:15.330
^out here and we look at our people,

01:15.330 --> 01:17.738
^in the Marine Corps is red, white, and blue.

01:17.738 --> 01:18.655
^That is it.
