United States Marine Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November 1775 in Philadelphia as an Infantry force capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore.][11] The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as "America's third air force" and "second land army".[12] The Marine Corps has distingushed itself as it has served in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era, and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II.[13] By the mid-20th century, the Marine Corps had become a major theorist and the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare.[14][15][16] Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.[17]

You know what? I don't actually think it's a big deal in this particular instance. Those British soldiers died for their country just like ours and the American ones did.
Semper Fidelis and thank you all!
