“the United States does not need a Marine Corps … the United States wants a Marine Corps.”

With all due respect to Gen Krulak, the United States will not survive without a Marine Corps.

That's why the Corps is always one of the Left’s chief targets. Destroy the Corps. Destroy America.

Semper Fi.

Semper Fi Marines! You are the absolute best the United States of America can claim as a bragging right. This Navy Mom is forever in your debt.

God bless and keep the Marines & Corpsmen. In addition, bless and keep the accompanying/supporting Army FIREFINDER troops who were also killed there on that day.

OOH RAH!

My son once wrote, “I didn’t join up to be part of some government conspiracy—I joined because I thought it was just one small way that I could contribute to the people of this country... although the discipline didn’t hurt much either. “

Semper Fidelis.

"“Against all enemies, foreign AND domestic”"

Actually, what Karl said was:

"I didn't join up to be part of some government conspiracy--I joined because I thought it was just one small way that I could contribute to the people of this country... although the discipline didn't hurt much either. As I think back to that oath, something about all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC... I wonder who is really to blame for the degredation of the American society. "
