Have not cared for Adm. Fletcher since my DI told us the story of him abandoning
the 1st Marine Division on Guadalcanal without a good chunk of their supply. ;~)

Was your DI there or was this just a story..........

How about sharing the story?

In the sea battles around Guadalcanal, the US Navy suffered three times the KIA of Marines, about 4,500 to 1,500.

Under the “defeat Germany first” strategy, Churchill and Roosevelt were willing to give up Australia, New Zealand before visiting hell on the Japs. Be thankful the CNO, Earnest King, disagreed.

God bless the USMC. Just stop crapping on your brethren.
