    Hello from France,  I just received as a gift a medal of Marine Corps with , on one side of the medal the symbol of your magazine, and on the other side, three stars in the middle and the name of a Lt Gen.  and also the word “ASSASSIN” !  What that last word would mean on a medal like this ?  I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to ask the retired man (the Lt Gen Mr…)   thanks for answering

    Marvel’s CPT America was a sickbay commando though.  50+ years sleeping?  Does that count for TIG/TIS?

  • Kevino

  • Debrutsid Semper Fi

    Interesting comparrison. but Captain America was Army and only by dint of having by selected for Project Rebirth by a general after his persistence in trying to enlist and being rejected. Super hero or not, the Marine still comes out on top.

  • Jimmy Smith

    Really? Couldn’t find anyone who has actually fought for freedom to run this piece on?

    Captain America is a racist symbol.  Why is a service branch endorsing such a divisive comic book character?  Seems to fly in the face of the recent Progress we’ve achieved in the areas of LGBT acceptance, minority rights, and women’s equality.  I guess there are still some fanatic holdouts in the Corps for apple pie and Jim Crow.
