jarheads, leathernecks, devil dogs or think of any other derogotory term and it'll work.
Jarhead-One account suggests that it refers to the Marine high and tight haircut which is cut almost to the skin at the ears with a bit more as it goes up the head giving the appearance of a jar. Another legend says that during World War II the Mason Jar Company stopped making jars and made the helmets for Marines.
Leatherneck(s)-dates back to the days when Marines served on sailing ships and part of their uniform included a stiff leather collar to help defend their necks against sword attacks.
Devil Dog-"Toufel Hunde" derived from the German Army in WW1
