[Kimmers]

The Marines that I have met do not seem to be out for public glory....they just want to "git er done"

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]

I know what you mean.

I was a Marine and served in Vietnam. We got the job done and never lost a battle.

What irritated me while in Vienam was having to come to the rescue of a platoon of Green Berets who kept losing their position to the VietCong. Three times we had to retake their position and give it back to them. And, yet the Green Berets were thought of as something special even back then.

I know that Marine units are always special, but the work performed by the Recon Marines was/is extra special..
