It's nice to see that the Marines still have ST as mandatory OCS reading. :)

MY VOTE IS CHANGE THE NAME TO "PALE HORSE".
Re 6:8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
SEMPER FI AND GODSPEED!
