Semper Fi, fellow jarhead. Yes, that's true, just about anything might be used as a weapon. But then again, any weapon is just a tool. It's an inanimate object made by someone. A hammer is used to drive a nail; a saw is for cutting wood, a weapon is used to fight a tyrant or a criminal. But those tools don't do those things by themselves, it takes a human to use them properly.

We care for our tools...keep them in good maintenance, don't just leave them lying around or rusting in the yard, and we know how to use them.

Once the job is done, we maintain and then put away our tools and return to living. But we always know where our tools are when they are needed.
