Lt. Kendrick's comment about the Navy

Cue up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxbKzs4Sv6g to 0:30 to hear Lt. Kendrick say the following:

LT. KENDRICK - "No I like all you Navy boys. Every time we got to go someplace to fight, you guys always give us a ride."

Although his remark is technically a factual statement, in the manner how he said it, I believe the screenwriter was trying to give the viewer the impression that Lt. Kendrick considers the Navy to be just a non-fighting taxi service for the Marine Corps.

After all, MARINE can also be an acronym for:
Marines
Always
Ride
In
Navy
Equipment.

No need to be rude man, come on.

His oily attempt at charm, after revealing his outright hatred towards Kaffee, is notable. He knows he made a critical mistake, and clumsily tries to cover it over.
