Neither do the Australians, and when we hear such, we laugh.
Hey BR, posing is when someone pretends to be someone who did something ( like being a serial liar), not admring a simple motto. Remember Semper Fi is also a CF Unit motto, so I see no big deal, now if some had a USMC tatto a la globe and anchor with Iraq 2006-2007, said they were a former Marine, told war porky-pies, and wore replica medals, well, thats posing, and thats disgusting.
If some silly girl wants the tatt, and gets it, we we all know it does not wash off, she is branded for life, so she's paid for her stupidity. BTW I have three tatts. Maybe she just likes the motto, no crime in that, and I dont think any marine would go off at her because she is a fan.
Your profile says you are an 'enlisted' PTE. In the CF as OR's we don't enlist, we enrole. Judging by this terminology, you have not been in long have ya. There are more important things to worry about and one day your attitude will get you a bloody nose from the wrong person, former anarchist or naught! You are not the fashion police or the tattoo police either.
