[Jacquerie]

In the sea battles around Guadalcanal, the US Navy suffered three times the KIA of Marines, about 4,500 to 1,500.

Under the “defeat Germany first” strategy, Churchill and Roosevelt were willing to give up Australia, New Zealand before visiting hell on the Japs. Be thankful the CNO, Earnest King, disagreed.

God bless the USMC. Just stop crapping on your brethren.

Lighten up, Francis...I was mostly kidding. Maybe if you understood the
relationship between Jarheads and Squids a little better you would not
make such inane statements. I have great respect for the Navy as I spent
3/4's of my tour with them in naval schools and on aircraft carriers
including the raid on Libya in '86.
