I didn’t mention football once, Allan.[/quote]
Gee, Russell, when you referred to the “national sports obsession”, I figured you were including the most popular (and aggressive) sport in America. You know: Football?
Of course, I’m sure the Marine Corps just loves basketball and baseball players, too.
Ask any Army or USMC recruiter about their favorite sport (from a “raw material” standpoint) and they’ll all answer the same: Football. It stresses unquestioning obedience to authority, sacrifice for the team and the warrior ethos. That was what you were referring to, right?
