Marines Aren't Soldiers

This photo is posted at Ace, with the caption: "An American Soldier summarized in one picture." One problem: They are Marines. Solider refers to Army personnel. Not to be nitpick-y, but I married a Marine. There is a difference.

From the embedded reporter, Goran Tomasevic:
U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Chris Sanderson, 24, from Flemington, New Jersey shouts as he tries to protect an Afghan man and his child after Taliban fighters opened fire in the town of Marjah, in Nad Ali district, Helmand province, February 13, 2010. REUTERS/Goran Tomasevic
