Hmmm.. well in WWII in the PTO us Marines fought suicidal maniacal savages in caves for every inch of soil. In the ETO the Army fought a more civilized opponent, who knew when to surrender and when to fight to the death. But I will say, Iwo Jima, Wake Island to name a couple. But I don't think this post had anything to do with WWII did it Dogface? Just joking... no offense intended. Just a lil Marine to Army humor. We ARE on the same side here.

You know, the Army did a little fighting in the Pacific as well. Further, the civilized Germans had better tanks, artillery and leadership than the Japanese ever thought about. You guys like to talk about your proud history, don't atke offense when someone else points out that you aren't alone.

The USMC had the worst mission of WWII.

The Pacific Theater was designated as a "holding actiion", which meant limited forces and limited material supplies. The bulk of our output was devoted to controlling the Germans, first.

There was no doubt that the USMC acquitted themselves extremely well during WWII.
