K --One small correction -- it is not that Marines are a category of "bad people" or some such. It is just they are being trained into one kind of mindset, and it is rare though not impossible to find them with the breadth to shift gears easily, especially if they are still wuite young. Older ones can be just as mature as other intelligent men in my experience, and I have worked with a good number of 'em.
And I am happily married so flattery will just get you the biggest SEG you ever saw!
