Happy 236th birthday U.S.M.C.!

Posted 10 Nov 2011 in military, patriotism

“There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion.” ~Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army

“Some say we are the Spartans of modern times. I would say that the Spartans were the Marines of their time.” ~1SG Mark Gordon, USMC

Happy 236th birthday to the United States Marine Corps! And THANK YOU!

A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune.

“One Marine is better than ten taliban”.

The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a gun battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice then calls out “One Marine is better than one hundred taliban”.

Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.

The voice calls out again “One Marine is better than one thousand Taliban”.

The enraged Taliban Commander musters one thousand fighters and sends them across the dune.

Cannon, rocket and machine gun fire ring out as a huge battle is fought. Then silence.

Eventually one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander,

“Don’t send any more men, its a trap. There’s actually two of them.

Ooh-rah!  (h/t: Flopping Aces)
