The prime function they each embody is not 'alien' to them.
Marines know - without baggage - what it is they are expected to do...
and their honor is bound to it.
Don't ever expect Marines to be 'demoralized' by media noise... even the disparaging stuff.
But the dissent can be considered insulting...
and things that can be considered insulting,
usually will insult someone.
The ranking Marine issuing this letter wasn't talking to "us"...
it was for active duty Marines under his command...
(Whose family affairs must be kept in order... it's only logical.)
To sacrifice one's freedoms, in order to offer service to a nation...
it's a choice that must be considered from the context of honor...
or it's only "a job"...
