== The Wholly Marines ==
 
=== courage ===
 
Army, Air Force, and Marine Generals are standing in front of a rappelling tower with a Navy Admiral. The Air Force General says to the others, "My men are the most courageous of the Armed Forces."
 
 
"Ha!" says the Army General, "My men are the most courageous and I'll prove it."
 
 
The Army General calls a Private over from the tower. He tells the Private, "I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."
 
 
"Yes, Sir!!!" the Private yells and proceeds to climb the tower. The Private walks to the edge, yells "Hoo-ahh!" and jumps off the tower. He is killed instantly upon impact.
 
 
"That's nothing," the Air Force General says. He calls a Senior Airman over. â€oeSon, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute and I want you to do it with style."
 
 
"Yes, Sir!!!" the Senior Airman yells. He climbs to the top of the tower, walks to the edge and jumps. He executes a swan dive that would make Greg Louganis proud, hits the ground and dies on impact.
 
 
"Hmmph," the Marine growls. "Ya'll obviously forgot the Marine Corps are here."
 
 
He calls a Lance Corporal over. "Marine, I want you to jump off that tower and make the Corps proud!"
 
 
The Corporal yells, "Ooh-rah!", by way of response and runs to the tower. He grabs an M-60 and ammunition belt on the way and wraps the belt around himself in the Poncho Villa style. He climbs the tower and walks to the edge. Upon reaching the edge, he throws two grenades into the air, yells "Semper Fi Do or Die!" and jumps off. He starts shooting the M-60 in mid-air, clipping tree tops and yelling the entire way down. His impact is obscured by the two exploding grenades. When the smoke clears, only little pieces of the Marine are left.
 
 
The others are impressed and nod their heads in admiration. Then the Admiral says, "That's nothing." The others turn to face the Admiral, their faces in disbelief. The Admiral calls a Seaman over who was cleaning latrines. "Son, I want you to jump off that tower - no rope, no parachute."
 
 
The Seaman looks the Admiral in the face and says, "Why don't you kiss my *** and jump yourself!" and walks off.
 
The Admiral turns to the others and says, "Now THAT'S courage!"
 
 
=== Why the seaman disobeyed ===
 
It's Damage Control is one of the first thins that drill into you and they drill it in hard.
 
 
Darden ethics professor Bobby Parmar reviewed Stanley Milgram's famous experiments on authority and obedience. and found out what separated those the obeyed and those that disobeyed.
 
 
"When we looked at the data, particularly at what people said during the course of the experiment, we saw that the real issue that comes out of the Milgram experiments is whether participants perceived that they had a choice or the right to end the experiment, not whether they wanted to stop. Most people knew that something immoral or unethical was going on, but they assumed that it was the authority's responsibility to end the experiment. For example, participants said things like do you want me to stop and don't you think we should do something about that man in there? Some participants tried to get the experimenter to change his choice by pleading or begging him to look in on the learner. Others however, figured out that they didn't have to continue with this experiment if they didn't want to. These people simply left, they made statements such as I don't want to do this anymore or I don't think that this is right. Disobedient participant said things that exhibited more personal agency and they illustrated that they saw the option of leaving the experiment. Whereas most of the obedient participants didn't see the option of leaving, even though they were uncomfortable with the experiment. In addition, disobedient participants were significantly more likely to explore the effects of their actions. They would ask questions, like what happens if I get all the way to the top? Or how do you know that he'll be okay? This helped them figure out and articulate reasons to stop the experiment. "
