Make that "Bogus Golden Oldies"..
First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, USMC, 96th Co., Soissons, 19 July 1918
I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold.
(Attributed to several World War I Marine Corps officers, Belleau Wood, June 1918
Retreat Hell! We've just got here!
LIEUTENANT GENERAL LEWIS B. PULLER, USMC
All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time
