True story about our legendary USMC General Lewis B. Puller Jr- the ONLY Marine in our long history to have been awarded FIVE Navy Crosses (one click below the CMH for you non-qals)At the Chosen in Korea, one of his staff reported to Puller- Sir, the Gooks have us surrounded-- what is our plan?" Chesty looked right at him and said- "Attack- and this time the little yellow bastards won't get away from us, will they?"" I think he may have taken that remark from the great Adm. William "Haul-Ass" Halsey- who said, loud and clearly for all hands on deck to hear, after the victory at Midway- that broke Yamamoto's fleet--
"When we are finished with the little yellow bastards, the only place their language will ever be spoken again will be in the bowels of Hades"-- Halsey was instrumental in getting the Navajo "Wind Talkers" code operation underway- a key point in WW2 PTO, just as the intact capture from a Kraut U-Boat in the North Sea by the Limeys- the Captain's enigma code book was a deal breaker for the ETO-- life indeed, turns on a dime--
