238th Marine Corps birthday message:Enduring Fortitude, Unfailing Valor. [video]
The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen James F. Amos, and
the SgtMaj of the Marine Corps, SgtMaj Micheal P. Barrett,
speak to Marines and Sailors about the timeless Marine qualities of
courage and perseverance by looking back on the landing on
Tarawa in WWII, the Battle of Hue City during Vietnam, and
crossing the berm into Iraq during the War on Terror. Marine
determination, grit and valor make the Corps the ready force
America relies on in times of crisis.

Happy Birthday Marines

In celebration, some General Mattis quotes:

The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”

“I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”

“The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.”

No war is over until the enemy says it's over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote

Demonstrate to the world there is 'No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy' than a U.S. Marine.

I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f#ck with me, I'll kill you all Speaking to Iraqi tribal leaders

Tragically.Osama Obama and his Maoist pals have different plans for the USMC (and the Army,Navy,Air Force and Coast Guard).

I hear what you're saying, but with respect, this probably isn't the best thread for that.

Semper Fi, Marines. Hand-salute from a USN relic.
