Fighting Moslem terrorists since Thomas Jefferson sent them to Africa ..
the First Barbary War. The war, which lasted from 1801 to 1805, was the first of two wars fought between the United States and the Northwest African Berber Muslim states known collectively as the Barbary States..
President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay the high tributes demanded by the Barbary states and because they were seizing American merchant ships and enslaving their crew for high ransoms
Ooo-rah baby.

If it wasn’t in the late 60’s, It must have started in the early 70’s sometime. I served 73-77 and it was definitely there then. Must have come from the Vietnam era’s drill instructors....................

I was at the PAO, MCSC Barstow 70-73 and I was editor of the Prospector.
Setting aside how hot the young girl was, I love to see young girls out taking on a life and death challenge like this instead of spending all their time trying to get a rich guy snared and to the altar!
