I don't know about today's Marine Corps, but when I was in, we had training classes on our oaths, and the special meaning of the Constitution. It was pointed out that while we were under the President as Commander in Chief, that illegal orders must not be followed. And many examples of unlawful orders were included in the training. So I don't know about today, but I would hope that the Corps still trains in the Constitution and its importance to the American way.
Old jarhead here, but still bound by my oath to preserve the Constitution. Happy birthday, gyrene.
