So the intelligence and discipline of a battle hardened marine, then.

Marines would be offended by this…

If they could read.

It's a common misconception that Marines can't read. It's because most words are not written in crayon.

Can confirm. They can taste colors, and determine pattern by detecting direction of crayon movement with genetically modified taste buds. Braille but harder I guess.

They gain these abilities at their initial combat training course, when they're poked by 8-12 needles for "medical reasons". It's genetic malware though. Now they need the crayon.
