If you want five times as many Marines, all you have to do is hire a lot of men? I did not know that. Poor Gunny is probably crying in his beer now that he knows he wasted his time as a DI, when all the USMC needed was an HR bean counter filling out paperwork.

Yeah, each of our Marines carries 200 years of an incredibly hard won tradition and glory. And the lessons of the British Marines before them.
China's Marines carry the traditions of raiding parties at best.

Google says Chesty Puller translates as Xiōngbù lāchě... that'll give them something to aim for.

I was looking at your pictures. That last one with the admin guy and SRB’s, please tell me the Marine Corps doesn’t still use SRBs? These things aren’t electronic yet? BTW, I still have a copy of my SRB, just waiting for the callup of old 50 something jarheads needed for our experience to defeat the red menace.... :-)
