minus-squareTheMightyCat@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·24 days ago Army or Air Force So is there a case that marines don’t count then?
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·24 days agoThat’s a good question, the Marines are Navy adjacent, so I’m not sure how that works. It’s weird that the act was updated to include the Air Force though since it was written in 1878. The Air Force wasn’t officially founded until 1947. The Marines have been around since 1775.
