Ok, so I have this friend. I've had a huge crush on her since middle school. Well she was talking about her Marine exboyfriend and my first thought was, "I'd fight the whole Marie corps for this girl." What would you call that feeling? Just curious.
'Stupidity' if I'm being honest. You'll die if you fight the Marine Corps and won't get to spend time with your friend anymore.

I'm certain you were exaggerating, to a point. I know what you're talking about. You're likely coming up with fantasy scenarios out of curiosity or the need to satisfy your mind's inevitable "What If?" What if you did have to fight, say, not all the marines, but one marine in particular? We all want to be able to protect ourselves or the people we love (excuse my stretch of the word when referring to your crush). But, seeing that there have been many times in history when others couldn't protect their loved ones, we should recognize that we remain weak and mortal, strangely limited creatures that we are. Don't get yourself into any fights. Find someone worth loving because they love you and can fight for themselves. Thinking that you would fight to "get the girl", as it were, is a thought process bred by our culture but it's also silly. A lasting relationship is about two people supporting each other; all successful couples I've ever seen take on their battles together, regardless of the outcome. Don't hurt yourself and don't hurt others. However, if you're talking about fighting in the figurative sense, consider this:
Since you said ex-boyfriend, if she just got out of a relationship, then maybe you should wait until she's ready for another. If you've known her since middle school and she's had relations with someone in the military, then I imagine you've already graduated? If so, then it is quite amazing that you've both kept touch, so I'm sure she must at least have some kind of feelings for you as well, unless you've already made an advance (but since you said crush, I assume not?) and she turned you down. As I usually say with these kind of situations, they're too personal for us to decipher and give you a clear cut answer. You're the only one that knows how you truly feel. You're the only one that knows everything about your own situations. It's up to you to decide on what you should do. As for your thought of taking on the whole Marine Corp., practically, it is ridiculous, but I believe that it forces you to think for yourself. Do what feels right. Yes, I know it sounds like an absolutely bull**** answer, but it's the only one that any of us can provide given our lack of knowledge of your situation.
The feeling of being so deeply in love that you would do absolutely ANYTHING for them... It's called "delirium."
