KiltedTim,
If you are a Marine, please read on. If you are not, do whatever you will with the following.
Your sarcasm is not in keeping with the character or discipline that represents Marines in a favorable light. Mental and ethical strength will (restraint). These traits take courage to exemplify in any arena, and in a civilian format like this community, demonstrating these traits is incumbent upon anyone who has earned the title Marine. Respect yourself, others, and our / my Marine Corps. Do better the next time you're tempted to speak in such a manner. Say what you mean, mean what you say. I believe in your courage Marine! Remember that not everyone will 'get' that your intention was to be funny.
Ductos Exemplo,

Sarcasm: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny
example:
If you were accused of being a Marine, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
