Marines remove the word "man" from 19 job titles: too PC? Or time for a change?

This Marine argued that the controversy will be soon forgotten.

@Tmgneff If they took away cheese spread in MREs the outrage would be the same. And then they will move on to another outrage tomorrow.

The writer of the Washington Post article quoted above made light of the story.

Now that Basic is in my job title, I wont give my self such a hard time for those pumpkin spice lattes come October. https://t.co/AXzXk4MnTd

Some found the change an unnecessary gesture towards political correctness.

@GinaAHarkins @AirForceTimes Did anyone ask women in the military if they are offended by job titles? This seems unnecessary.

#MCPON Don't change Hospital Corpsman for other titles like medic, pharmacist, etc. They're Corpsmen and Marines love em. #aintbrokedontfix

Terminal Lance, a popular Marine Facebook page, has more than 500 comments on the change and most of them are negative.
