Happy Birthday USMC

[capslock]

The Marine Corps has been protecting America's interests across the world for 236 years today. To the greatest fighting force in the world, and all the Marines serving past and present, Happy Birthday!

Semper fi.

You would think after 236 years, they would have bothered to learn to speak English.

While poking around on my Medal of Honor Pacific Assault Director's Edition discs, I found some interviews with Marines who fought in the Pacific War, and began watching them. Some of their experiences give me chills. It's hard to believe people are capable of withstanding so much abuse and so intense an environment.

According to who?

What other large-scale armed force can contend with the USMC?

nobody wants to be on the receiving end of the Marines. They are badass.

What other large-scale armed force can contend with the USMC?

I don't know, what large-scale armed forces have the USMC fought lately? Iraqi forces who would surrender to the first unmanned aerial drone they could find after an air strike?
