[Good Luck]

Clearly the Army didn't teach you how to observe anything then.

The only thing they teach in the Army is how to hide behind a U.S. Marine.

The safest place to be in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight!

Marines know how to use their bayonets. Army bayonets may as well be paperweights.

Navy Times, Nov. 1994

Gen. Douglas McArthur

We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over thenorthern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down inthe southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?

Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., USA, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; during the assault on Grenada, 1983

Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem.
