Theyll have it in 3 hours.Might be 3000 dead and wounded Marines on the ground-but youll have the airfield.
That would have been true with someone like Chesty Puller commanding.
But the Marine Corps has essentially become intolerant of that type of "leadership."
In fact, Chesty's request for re-activation during Vietnam was denied probably for that very reason.
