Having just celebrated Memorial Day, I am reminded that the U.S. Marine Corps, some time ago, had a recruiting campaign that stated: “We do not join you, you join us – The Few. The Proud. The Marines.” Impressive? Yes. Accurate? Mostly. Relevant? Perhaps.
As a Marine veteran there is no such thing as an ex-Marine I always found that advertising campaign to be interesting, not so much as to what it says about the Marine Corps, but what it says about other organizations, such as law firms white-male-dominated, and full of pride, tradition and excellence.
