Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit

 

High praise from Patton indeed. He was right though, there were a lot of dogface soldiers (like you, Rocky) in the Pacific, too. Marines have to have a great PR team or we wouldn't exist today. There was a major push to eliminate the USMC for quite some time following WWII. Incidentally, here is a website with the whole Patton 3rd Army speech.

 

More high praise from an Army commander: “The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle!” J. J. Pershing

 

Rocky, I bet there were a lot of Marines who would have preferred being in Italy. Each place had a tenacious enemy and it's share of crappy terrain and weather, but Italy had Italian women and wine!

 

Capt. Italian women !! Wine!! Don't remember--- likehellidon't !!
