....the Second Continental Congress resolved the following: In doing so they created the finest fighting force this world has ever seen: the United States Marine Corps. This weekend I will raise many beers in honor of my brothers, both past and present; to those who are still among us, fighting over seas or enjoying life in 1st CivDiv, and to those who have passed on to Valhalla. The Corps draws its strength from each Marine, and each Marine draws his strength from the Corps. Keep fighting, brothers; keep swinging. Semper Fi!
A wider perspective might reveal the fact that had the Japanese and Germans been victorious in WWII there most likely would never have been any hippies. The US Marines played a role in that.
Likely they also played a role in the actual making of them after they went home too, but I still think it's an odd thing to be supporting on a Hippy frum.
Personally I would learn toward the atom bomb being the most powerful weapon created thus far. And well lets face it soldier alone. I would have to go with martial artists today. Ive seen many marines get their ass stomped after starting fights in bars for no reason other than they wish to be "the biggest guy in the room." I will give it to the marines though, They are one of the most brainwashed forces the world has ever seen...
