    This reminds me: there's a guy in my dad's super chuddy neighborhood with one of these stickers but also a marine corps license plate and I've never been able to decide what the most likely explanation is.

    Oh yeah, the vehicle is an El Camino if that changes things

      I'd bet it's inter-service bullshit, marines teasing soldiers

        Yeah, that's probably it, but I really like to imagine that someone put it there maliciously and he just doesn't get the joke: "My girlfriend's husband...that's me. I fight for your freedom and I have a girlfriend, hoo-rah!"

        "Muscles Are Required Intelligence Not Expected."

        You learn all these dumb jokes growing up next to a military base.

        Marine-type boots love that stereotype and own it. They're yoked to the ideology that tightly. yea

          Feed the stereotype by feeding the old coot colored wax. Everyone gets a laugh out of it, unless you stole the crayons from a kid.

      I choose to believe a poly relationship where the girlfriends husband is also in the military
