You own it. Glenn was a Marine and that's all there is to it. He regarded himself a Marine, he fought in combat as a Marine, and went into space as a Marine. He became a Marine before his flight training was even finished. He was given his wings as a Marine. To deny him that he was a Marine is an insult to his legacy and spin. You seem to not be able to accept that Lawrence was wrong. So my point is, if he was wrong about Glenn, what else is he wrong about or trying to spin?

I have no use for sloppy journalists.
