We are a little Extreme
Dec 18th 2005MichaelMarine Corps & War
If Col. Shusko has his way, every Marine — and everyone near them — will benefit from the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP). Unlike men and women in the other branches of the armed forces, every Marine is taught how to fight hand-to-hand, up close and personal.
Fight to win, Fight to kill, Fight to destroy with bare hands.
“Every Marine is a rifleman. Every Marine is a martial artist,” Col. Shusko says.
And you thought the Marines were bad ass before…
– known as “Cyborg” — demonstrates the effectiveness of the Corps’ new fighting style as he throws a trainee to the grass, climbs over him and clamps a chokehold during a drill.

You might want to modify the statement that the Marines are the only service where everyone is taught hand-to-hand combat as the Army has instituted a similar requirement as well…it’s not fully implemented yet so you still get bragging rights
