Really. I guess you forgot that there are more than a few Marines who read this stuff, huh?
I can give you this: I owe my life several times over to the courage of Marine Close Air and Medevacs. They came in where nobody else would through dense AA at altitudes that nobody in their right mind flies and they didn't hesitate. I'll take courage as a discriminator anytime.
When I did see USAF stuff, they flew high and safe and bombed the wrong treeline - and sometimes us. Put that in your pipe.

Nope. I did not forget. I just don’t care. In my experience over 25 years, the USMC was at the bottom of the heap for honesty.
