Casualities many,Percentage of dead not known,Combat efficiency,we are winning. Col.David Shoup.USMC
Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed.They treat their service as if it were some kind of cult,plastering their emblem on almost everything they own,making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts to ungentemant lengths,worshiping their Commandant almost as if he was a god and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They will fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action,and are the cockiest SOB I have ever known. Most have the fowlest mouths and drink well beyond mans normal limits.,but their high pride and sence of brotherhood set them apart and generally speaking of the United States Marines I've come in contact with are the most professional soldiers and the finest men I have had the pleasure to met.
