[quote name='D4rkewolfe']lmao. Actually that's a blood stripe. Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers of the Marine Corps wear a scarlet red stripe on their dress blue trousers to commemorate the courage and tenacious fighting of the men who battled before Chapultapec in the Mexican War.
There is your history
I like the brown pants, cause of the joke that the French crapped their pants

Yep. Since your a dyed in the wool Marine, that's just about exactly the same responce I was expecting. Since I knew you had a sense of humor, I figured you wouldn't blow up.. some people have before.
There was this one time I saw a Marine reduce this poor lady to tears. There was a parade in the area around the local base ( I think it was one of the times the president landed in Michigan).. She was telling her friends she didn't understand why the Marines looked like they did.. a tan shirt with blue pants with red stipes up the side... she said something to the effect of "the must have made a uniform out of whatever was just lying around".. one of the Marines just spun around and proceeded to chew her out about the nature of the uniform and all the proud men that died wearing it. I mean the guy had a point, but it was way over the line making this little old lady cry.
EDIT: To stay kind of on topic: I don't know... maybe one of those creepy guys over in off topic know. I mean, I'd worry about your wife as well, but as many times as it's been posted that you're a Marine, I doubt they'd even bother getting too creepy... this isn't Gamefaqs, anyway.
