Is there any truth to the notion that Marines are being brainwashed

I have several friends in the military and they always have the same narrative regarding Marines and that is they are brainwashed to put country first from day 1 they start basic training. I've heard countless stories about crazy shyt marines have done such as crying uncontrollably during the anthem and one dude randomly stopping during a road-trip to climb a flag pole to hug the american flag.

I thought about this when I saw this gif earlier and saw the passion in this dudes eyes. :merchant:

hell yeah they brainwash you. Most people don't normally going into battle just because, it takes "training".

That being said "brainwashing" is a part of the military through and through...also through out history.

"Break them down so they can build them up".

Well, not really brainwashed. More like reconditioning the mind. There's a reason they have an age limit for the Marine Corps. It's 26. Anyone older than 26 is determined to be non-brainwashable.... I mean, it is more difficult to recondition their thinking to operate effectively in combat situations.
