I’m convinced this battle began again in 1979 with the Islamic takeover of our embassy in Iran and our failure to adequately respond to it.

Who were the Barbary Pirates?

I will give you a little hint the Marine Anthem lyrics:

The line “To the shores of Tripoli” refers to the First Barbary War, and specifically the Battle of Derne in 1805. After Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon and his Marines hoisted the American flag over the Old World for the first time, the phrase was added to the battle colors of the Corps.
