I play cornhole with a 102 year old Army vet of the Pacific on Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. He told me the Marines did all the real fighting and the Army mopped up. He was a BAR man. He’s going strong, and will be 103 in September.

The Army saw some very tough fighting on Okinawa, though...Hacksaw Ridge
comes to mind.
