My dad was in the 6th Marine Division from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima. He's 78 now and almost blind. To this day, he cannot bring himself to talk about the fierce campaigns he took part in against the Japanese in the Pacific.

You know, by God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not going to just shoot the bastards, we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy wog bastards by the bushel.....

I think another Task Force Ripper would be spot on for these pukes.

Gunnery Sgt. Bert Boatright ....Incredible name for a Marine!
I think that it is time to stick this in the ugly faces of the SOB socialists (e.g. Sharpton, Jackson, and every other Vieques protester)who attempts to obstruct the necessary traiing of our forces on that island.
There are many others who have remained silent about their sacrificial service to their country and are gone now.
Write it down, it will mean so much those who experienced generally the same things but more than that for the generations that are coming after we who may at any time be numbered among the 1100 WW2 vets who are dying each day, whose experiences if unrecorded will be lost forever.
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines
Our Flags unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun
We have fought in every clime and place where we could take a gun
In the snow of far off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes
You will find us always on the job
The United Sates Marines
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we fought for life
And never lost our nerve
It the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven's scene
They will find the streets are guarded by UNITED STATES MARINES!
OOOOOOORRAAAAAAAAHHHH
