    There's no such thing as an ex-Marine.

    Maybe Google News should group better-written headlines and clickbait headlines instead of leaving Fox out to dry.
    Whatever the organization, the fact that he is a Marine veteran isn't relevant in the headline.

    My father always gently corrected people that he is a Marine, not was in the Marines.

    At the time, stories noted that Lee Harvey Oswald had been a Marine, but it wasn't in the headlines.

    That's quite the generalization.
    Oh, by the way, my pal Don Lemon would like a word with you.

    The chokehold he used is taught in basic training. It's not like the marine thing is totally extraneous.

    But they can't muster the in-your-face steam necessary, fearing they'll come across as the "unhinged reporter whom Trump played like a fiddle." So they just calmly hit him with a fact, which he then deflects into an outright lie, and then he just runs with it.

    Notoriety does not mean acclaim. Look it up sometime.
