If you don’t want a bunch of us P.O.’d Marines to come after you (and we will), you WILL get it right: Major General Smedley D. BUTLER. (D for Darlington) You WILL show the correct respect to one of our LEGENDARY heroes. If you do not you will be punished. In fact, you should be punished anyway, so I will sit here for ten minutes thinking bad thoughts about you.

(MajGen Butler is a MONUMENTAL hero to most Marines! Along with GySgt Dan Daly who retired as a Sergeant Major, he won two Medals of Honor for two separate actions in his life. They were the ONLY two ever to do so. One time, someone was given both an Army and a Navy MoH for something but it was the same action and the rules were changed after that.)
