Jimmy, tell your son, “Thank you…now go make your Corps proud of you”. I expect you already are!

Jimmy writes of history. All I can say, even us Navy types can recognize a pattern. Water is wet, grass grows, the sun shines, Marines win.

Might as well declare those guys a force of nature.

Sure glad they’re on our team

I believe the appropriate quote is “They’ve got us surrounded . . . the poor bastards.”

sherlock … I think that’s how my Mother meant it … she was an inveterate reader of English novels. As for this side of the pond, we don’t have many “inveterate” readers of books of any kind, except for our genial host, and his courteous and kindly commenters.

That’s why I love this blog.

I believe the word “pecker” is traditional and perfectly polite English slang for “spirit” or “courage”, but is somewhat archaic on this side of the pond.
