Infantry division of the Navy my ass, a Marines job is to kill the enemy with bullets, and when you run out of bullets you close with bayonets and a Ka-Bar.
That was the Old Corps I was trained and deployed in.
Never did more than 6 weeks aboard a ship, the rest of it was in a place with nothing but red mud.
So, what did the Old Corps do when it ran into armored enemies that your bullets won’t do anything to but annoy and you’re out of naval gunfire range? :P
“...the rest of it was in a place with nothing but red mud.”
Alabama no doubt? That whole state was nothing but red mud that dried on your shoes turning them into red bricks.
