All Marines to be culturally trained.
MarAdmin 468/10 orders that all Marines begin recieving cultural training for 1 of 17 specific world regions for the duration of their career. This isn't special training or FID units, this is Marine Corps wide.
While it's not a bad idea to try and broaden the minds of young troops, I hope the Corps doesn't start trying to claim that it's line infantry battalions are "Special Forces Operations Capable." The indoctrination in the Marines does lead to our dogma that anything a Soldier does a Marine can do better, and that is dangerous thinking.

Just my two cents worth but I highly doubt the Marines will ever claim that they are anything but Devil Dogs and would not want the title of Special Forces Capable. And it's never a bad idea to broaden then minds of young military men/women regardless of MOS.

You shouldn't try to teach a dog to sing. It is impossible and only annoys the dog...

Looks like they’re pretty well culturally trained to me 
“Mujahideen,” “Jew,” come and play…

Have always liked Marines. They rock at what they do, as they are trained to.
Like Force Recon Marines. They are hardcore, and know their job, IMVHO.

This is the funniest thread I've seen lately. I saw it tried with the embassy Marines - they had nil interest and it didn't work too well - I can only imagine how it'll go on a Corps-wide scale. Maturity is a big factor. I guess nobody ever reads any AARs in the Corps, either.
And so it goes...

this has got to be the commandant's initiative. He tried this crap before he deployed to Iraq and that is one reason fallujah became "Fallujah". he never caught on that the bunny-hugging classes didn't really succeed in getting the muj to like them. Lot of good marines died due to his ineptitude. and "no", I don't like the man.
