Be proud of him, and pray for him. Marines will change him yes, it will make him stronger. While I may appose war and violence, Marines have my utmost respect, my Grandfather moved from Germany and became a Marine around the time of wwii. He is now a member of a local detachment and this time of the year is busting his ass doing toys for tots despite his age, he actually got a "Marine of teh Year" award last year, family says it was his proudest moment. My prayers and thanks to your brother and your family.
