Love is a losing game. -Amy Winehouse
Your pain is your breaking of your shell that encloses your understanding. Khalil Gibran
There is just one life for each of us, our own. Euripides
"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five
years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't
got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot
them. Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a
hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I
like brawling."
"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet"
-Gen. James (Maddog) Mattis
"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest
bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any
group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine
Corps!"
Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945
Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers
or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny
and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've
got really short hair and they always go for the throat.

"You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are
convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious
fighters on earth- and the amusing thing about it is that they are."
Father Kevin Keaney
1st Marine Division Chaplain
"Do not attack the First Marine Division. Leave the
yellowlegs alone. Strike the American Army."
Orders given to Communist troops in the Korean War;
shortly afterward, the Marines were ordered
to not wear their khaki leggings.
