It's a point of pride for Marines to clarify this terminology to civilians: a person who has ended their service in the Marines may be called a "former" Marine but never an "ex-Marine." Except in cases like this, where the individual commits crimes or otherwise brings shame on the title. Case in point, this is an ex-Marine who has taken a public shit on his claim to call himself a Marine. (The Army tries to do this with "Soldier for Life" but honestly its propaganda just isn't as good.) https://apnews.com/article/tv-reporter-attack-trumps-america-40c4c3622bf85baef9cefbd50d50fcec
