30 Marines. Outnumbered 8 to 1. Killed 50 of the enemy. No US losses.

Amazing men, those Marines.

Oh, that's not fair....the Marines had so many more targets! ;-)

I'm too tired to calculate what Lanchester would say about this.

Hmmm. 30 marines x 8 to (x)1 = 240 death candidates. 240-50 “executed, or elected” = 190 pardoned?

They let 190 get away! Need more effective weapons?
