I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery. But I am pleading with you
with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all.
Marine General James Mattis, to Iraqi tribal leaders
Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a
difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem.
Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985
Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines
come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're
aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really
short hair and they always go for the throat.
RAdm. "Jay" R. Stark, USN; 10 November 1995
Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?
GySgt. Daniel J. "Dan" Daly, USMC near Lucy-`le-Bocage as he led the 5th Marines' attack into Belleau Wood, 6 June 1918
You'll never get a Purple Heart hiding in a foxhole! Follow me!
Capt. Henry P. Crowe, USMC; Guadalcanal, 13 January 1943
You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the
point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth-
and the amusing thing about it is that they are.
Father Kevin Keaney

I am convinced that there is no smarter, handier, or more adaptable body of troops in the world.
Prime Minister of Britain, Sir Winston Churchill
"So they've got us surrounded, good! Now we can fire in any direction, those b*****ds won't get away this time!"
CHESTY PULLER, USMC
