That you have a particular opinion regarding Marines is of little import. That you would use such poor judgement and post a photo like this (a first since I've used these boards), is a disservice to everything that Gino has worked at to build into this website, which is not only held in high regard, but frequented by many young readers who stop by to discover history.
Total lapse in judgement in my opinion, and I think you need to be called on it. Pardon the pun, but nix the photograph.

I think you need to lighten up a bit, Dirigoboy. My father-in-law, a retired Marine gunny, laughed for two minutes when I showed him the photo --I took it for his benefit anyway. Col North, another long-time Marine, laughed as I was taking it. I spent a week with two marine colonels --you don't think I got ribbed early and often? Mutual respect, but we did have some laughs.
