That works. Or, how about the most decorated Marine in recorded history, lieutenant general Chesty Puller? My favorite story about him was when some of his Marines went to Tijuana before shipping out the next day. They got into a beef with some of the local trash and the messycan cops jailed them until they came up with the appropriate ransom.
Puller got some Marines, a couple Ma Deuces and went to Tijuana. They surrounded the fleabag jail and Gen Puller informed the messycans that he wasn't going home without his boys.
The jailed Marines departed the next day right on schedule.
