Talk:Rifleman's Creed

message: You could add that the industrial music band Combichrist performs a song called "This Is My Rifle" and uses clips of the Rifleman's Creed in it.

message: Often taught to Marines or taught to all Marines?
Judging by the first comment, I'm going to go with the former. 67.168.159.149 (talk) 04:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Why does each paragraph except the last one in the "original text" section appear to be truncated?  "I will...." "We will hit..." " We will..."  Is this an error?  --MicahBrwn (talk) 19:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not an error, it's written with the ellipses. It's a creed, so at the last part of each section the people reciting it are pledging to perform the required action. For instance, it's basically saying, "I know it's important to hit my target. And I will hit it." And that leads into the next section. Kafziel Complaint Department 06:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

message: In 2010, Colombian artist "9000" created a piece entitled "Turing Creed", based on the Rifleman's Creed with "computer" substituted for "rifle".
It has been done before by User Friendly in this comic but I'm not sure about its notability. BytEfLUSh | Talk! 20:16, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Turing creed 

message: This author, William H. Rupertus, does not stand for "loving sweet home, America". He never loved America... He was a mental metal insane killer, like many generals are. His "Rifleman's Creed" proofs only one thing: his moral
insanity.  
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Peleliu
This bloody author and general once boasted in 1944, his 1st Marine Division would capture the whole strategic uninportant island in only three days. In reallity, it took 74 days, and Rupertus rejected any help by the army, as he wanted the "honor" exlusive for himself and his Marines only. 
Up to 2,336 killed and 8,450 wounded americans and 10,695 japanese killed, (202 captured; 183 foreign laborers) had to pay the bloody price for his personal ambition.
Honor? No, this man never had any honor and should never be mentioned in history - except as a negative example. Spit into his face, wherever you see his visage, and spit on his "creed".
Soldiers are Killers! (Kurt Tucholsky). And how do dirty old men like this always succeed, sending healthy young men to die for their plans and ambition?

thread_title:  Sorry, no applause for William H. Rupertus and "Rifleman's Creed" 

message: Hello all,
I am currently updating this article and believe that I have added quite a bit to make it more fleshed out. Some of the prior comments on the talk page have been addressed, an article body has been added, the lead has been edited, and an In Pop Culture section will be added as well. Please feel free to add to or change what you see fit but I have done quite a bit of research on this topic. I am also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, went through Parris Island in 2015, and the Creed was introduced. That is of course anecdotal but there seems to be quite a few people insisting that it is simply not taught anymore which is factually untrue.
I hope you all like what I am going to do with the page,
