Semper Fi	comment	So, you think you miserable lot of baby-faced tropers want to make a trope about us? If you work hard enough you might be good enough to lick our boots. For we are the best in the world and you better know it. When you answer me, the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be 'sir'! Is that clear, troper?! Louder! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! Yes, United States Marines are just better. They are a Proud Warrior Race all their own. Every Marine is a Blood Knight and they are held in check only by their Drill Instructor Nasties. They are commanded by Colonel Badasses and General Rippers, and they are the truest devotees of The Spartan Way. They are so committed to their job that they are almost a Church Militant. Do not mess with the Corps. Ooh-rah! That is the Marine myth. Like most successful myths, it has some basis in fact. The idea is recognizably similar in kind with the myths of several other elite military units, like the French Foreign Legion or the Gurkhas. What makes the Marine myth special is simply that many Americans take pleasure in it and therefore Hollywood does, creating wider mileage. That said, the "Marine myth" is a myth. Marines are as fallible and human as the rest of the species, and while they are invariably well-trained and dedicated, you find just as many Jerkasses among Marines as you do among every other group on the planet. While they don't always, however, they can occasionally view themselves as the epitome of the human race, even if they actually are not. If you want to make a Marine more badass, make him a member of USMC Force Reconnaissance ("Force Recon"). If you want to make him even more badass than that, make him a member of MARSOC (Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command), which is so new (2006) that nobody even knows how badass it is yet. A Marine of recent vintage will also be proficient in the Marine Corps' own badass martial art form — the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP)... aka "Semper Fu". Compare Space Marine and A Space Marine Is You, where most of their behaviors, practices and general worldview will remain totally unencumbered by the march of time. A subtrope of Elites Are More Glamorous. The literal trope versions of "Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful) are My Master, Right or Wrong and My Country, Right or Wrong. Examples

In Battlefield 2 the Marines take over entirely as the sole American faction facing off against Chinese with Chopper Support and the Middle Eastern Coalition, and they return for Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 - the only games they don't appear in in some form are the first Battlefield: Bad Company, Hardline (quite reasonably since that's Cops And Robbers rather than real warfare), Battlefield 1, and Battlefield 2042.

He became a hitman due to Fuches' influence, and the skills he'd been trained in made it quite easy for him. Over time however his PTSD came back, and he questions not only being a hitman but also his Marine service. He often flashes back to his experiences then and they serve as inspiration for acting too.

Homer sees a US Marine guarding the American embassy in Australia and, apparently confusing him for a British Royal Guard, dances around in front of him to get him to crack a smile. The Marine just hauls off and punches him in the face. In "Boy Scoutz N the Hood", after Bart goes on a squishee bender, he wakes up with Hangover Sensitivity and discovers he had joined the Junior Campers. Lisa mocks him by parodying the Marine motto: "The few. The proud. The geeky."

Semper Fi / int_3b7abee2	comment	In the first Half-Life game, the main human antagonist force is a Marine unit named HECU (Hazardous Environment Combat Unit). Interesting enough, in the first game they referred in the original game only as "the military". In the Opposing Force expansion they are given their current name and stated to be Marines, which is somewhat of a Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole as they use many equipment, vehicles, uniforms and terminology that doesn't make any sense for a Marine unit to have. The most likely reason is that the HECU became a Marine unit to emphasize their Badass Army status.

This depiction, however, could be considered a subversion, as the main USMC troop is killed off, the player character's squad in particular precisely because of the "no one gets left behind" attitude, and the final missions are completed with you playing as an SAS member (albeit assisted by a few USMC troops). Of course, it could also be considered to be playing it straight, if you assume the game is saying that you need a nuke to beat the USMC.

Semper Fi / int_62aa95a6	comment	The Lost Fleet: The Space Marine forces attached to the titular fleet take inspiration from the USMC in the same way that its Space Navy draws on the US Navy, with the standard low-key Interservice Rivalry and (mostly good-natured) jokes about how Marines aren't smart enough to be sailors and sailors aren't tough enough to be Marines. They're treated pretty sympathetically given that the viewpoint character is himself a naval officer, because their strong espirit de corps has done a lot to keep their morale and discipline in better shape than his own sailors in the face of a decades-long war. There's probably some Reality Subtext in play here, as author John G Hemry is himself a US Navy veteran who saw service during Vietnam.

The story takes place in a base filled with Marines who are amoral washouts, depicted as either apathetic or cruel, run by incompetent commanding officers. As a Marine, Frank Castle was shown to be addicted to combat, willing to indirectly kill a General in order to keep his firebase (and therefore his war) going. Overall this depiction certainly doesn't sit well with the brave, heroic image the USMC typically has.

The Blackwatch are basically an army of overzealous psychopaths. In the end, the Marines are viewed as heroes by New York, so Blackwatch's plan of using them as fall guys failed and from what you can see in-game, the average Marine is a good person. The main character of [PROTOTYPE 2], James Heller, is a former Marine. He goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Mercer, who's gone all Knight Templar, ultimately killing him.

Semper Fi / int_7988cb68	comment	In Mass Effect, the Marines and the Navy are effectively the same, and have the same non-commissioned officer and commissioned officer rank structure. The only difference is in the lower enlisted ranks. Shepard even calls him/herself a Marine during conversations with Ashley or Kaidan (who themselves are both Marines) and Captain Anderson started as a Marine. The Navy pilots and maintains the ship, while the Marines are troops on board ready to deploy to a combat zone. It's the Navy's job to get them and drop them off safe. It's pretty much how it is today, Navy pilots, maintains and supplies Corpsmen (Medics), the Marines are dropped off and fight. It's also worth noting that in the Mass Effect-verse humanity does not have an "Army", since all military operations depend on the fleet getting troops to where they're needed and securing orbit, and humanity doesn't, unlike the turians, maintain huge garrisons for planetary defense. The Systems Alliance military focuses on maneuver instead, and gets troops onto the battlefield by dropping them from Frigates, inside of Infantry Fighting Vehicles. The quarians are the only other race in the verse to have marines. In their case, it is the Migrant Fleet Marines. The geth technically count as well, since every mobile platform is a rifleman. Turians only have soldiers, asari have huntresses and commandos, krogan don't have any military organization besides their clans, hanar rely on automated defenses and drell assassins, volus just bankroll the turian military, while salarians only have spies and special forces.

The film portrays them as being much like any group of people: there's the one who doesn't believe in the cause of the war but is there because he signed up; there's the borderline psychotic dick; there's the withdrawn, nerdy guy; and the everyman protagonist and his friend—and, of course, there's their unit commander, a proud career Marine who loves the job. (For those wondering where the word comes from: it was originally a pejorative term for Marines bestowed because a Marine's very short haircut and tight hat make it look like the hat is screwed on to his head, like the lid of a jar. It has, to a certain extent, been adopted by the Corps itself. More poetical observers, both deriding and defending the Marines, note that it can also mean that the Marine's head is an empty jar until it is filled by training.) Then there's the old-school U.S. Navy's opinion; you can't be a Marine if you can't fit your head into a peanut butter jar.

Ed Harris is a mega-badass who wants the US Government to own up to how badass his Marines were (or just pay their families for being super secret and thus not getting the moolah). Interestingly, when the Navy SEALs show up to kill his team (led by Michael Biehn, who didn't learn from The Abyss), the Marines kill them all, which is due to them being on higher ground with cover with better weapons. The subversion kicks in when the Marines go nuts and try to launch poison gas at San Francisco for the lulz. Explained in that their team had already turned its back on the government by falling in with Ed Harris' character, so they were going down either way. When they lost confidence in him by the government essentially calling his bluff and him folding, these "ex-Marines" decided to be out for themselves.

They are actually an army of Warrior Monks Religious Bruiser-ish Bio-Engineered (injected via a Super Serum coming from the genes of the children of a Physical God) Super Soldiers who are so detached from the rest of humanity that they are basically Human Weapons that exist only to fight, instead of the "traditional" Space Marine, which are US Marines IN SPAAAAAACE. However, there is a reason why they are named "Space Marines", it is meant to invoke the badassness from a traditional sci-fi Space Marine, which in turn are named as such to invoke the badassness of the US Marines. Various elite Imperial Guard formations referred to as Stormtroopers fit the bill; they're elite well-equipped rapid-response units with strong identities and a rocky relationship with the regular military.

Semper Fi / int_c0da5437	comment	Not only was The Punisher a Marine in The Vietnam War, he was a Force Recon Marine and even attended the U.S. Army Airborne School, received US Navy Underwater Demolition Team training, and cross-trained with the Special Air Service. In other words he was Marine, Navy Seal, Army Special Forces and SAS all rolled into one. Subverted in The Punisher: Born. The story takes place in a base filled with Marines who are amoral washouts, depicted as either apathetic or cruel, run by incompetent commanding officers. As a Marine, Frank Castle was shown to be addicted to combat, willing to indirectly kill a General in order to keep his firebase (and therefore his war) going. Overall this depiction certainly doesn't sit well with the brave, heroic image the USMC typically has. General Nikolai Zakharov, a Punisher villain from the MAX continuity, uses this trope to get the message across to William Rawlins that he's not to be fucked with. The Valley Forge arc sees Frank hunted down by Delta Force soldiers in order to bring him to trial alive (they take him down, eventually, but only because neither was ready to use lethal force on the other). Their commanding officer Colonel Howe claims Castle's use of methods taught by the USAF to kill criminals are a stain on their legacy. That, and Frank unknowingly saved his life in Vietnam, and he proves that the generals who want him dead were behind a False Flag Operation on Moscow.

Semper Fi / int_c4a1d59e	comment	Call of Duty: The primary American protagonist in Call of Duty 4 is a Force Recon Marine. This depiction, however, could be considered a subversion, as the main USMC troop is killed off, the player character's squad in particular precisely because of the "no one gets left behind" attitude, and the final missions are completed with you playing as an SAS member (albeit assisted by a few USMC troops). Of course, it could also be considered to be playing it straight, if you assume the game is saying that you need a nuke to beat the USMC. Call of Duty: World at War features the US marines in the Pacific Campaign of WWII. Call of Duty: Black Ops: Both Woods and Mason were Marines before being recruited into Operation 40. Mason was a Force Recon Captain, Woods a Master Sergeant. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare: Jack Mitchell was US Marine who lost his left arm fighting in Seoul, he joins Atlas who provides him a new arm.

Semper Fi / int_ff536b75	comment	Subverted in Old Man's War by John Scalzi, a science fiction novel in which all the characters are new recruits in an interstellar military. The Drill Sergeant Nasty says that people who have already served in the military on Earth make bad recruits, because they have a lot to unlearn, and makes a point of mentioning that ex-Marines are the worst of all, because their attitude gets in the way. Even he gives the Marines credit, though, for the Rifle Creed.

Semper Fi / int_ffc6c28f	comment	Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers was directly inspired by the USMC (with a heavy dose of US Army Airborne for good measure), with the fight against the Bugs patterned after WWII 'island-hopping' in the Pacific.
