I thought that was the classic bad news, good news joke. "Bad news
men, we are surrounded. Good news men, you can shoot any direction
you want!"

I'm coming into this thread late so forgive me if you've heard this one:

"You're making the wrong assumption that a Marine by himself is
outnumbered!"
General Peter Pace,
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
Khost, Afghanistan

Sempre Fi!

Wikipedia has some great Puller quotes, mostly I think from Guadalcanal.

"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of
us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time."

LOL! What a stallion. Thanks for the quote. I'm a fan of Gen. Pace.

Read a few books on Chesty Puller. He was not too bright and did some
pretty stupid things.

Says who? The authors? He's the most decorated Marine in history.

By way of comparison, what have the authors or their troll readers done for
the Marine Corps and America?
