Had an unpleasant conversation with my younger brother and almost before I could get a word in edgewise he turned the floor over to me by stating, “Here comes the Marine.”
Do you think his debating tactic was brilliant?

He definitely recognized the bearing and ethos, but telegraphed an unwillingness to hear and listen; passive-aggression is truly an art form, it seems to me. Semper Gumby, and Semper Fi, ST. (‘Like” in support.)
