    John Wick was a marine

    American media’s obsession with portraying Marines as some kind of elite soldier is fucking hilarious to me after reading Generation Kill and learning they’re just drunk frat boys given guns and told to kill

    They’re possibly the least glamorous soldiers anywhere
