Happy Birthday Marines

Happy Birthday to all of you Jarheads.
We started in a bar room and have been fighting ever since.

I am Sir! Lovely time of the year, snow in the Hindu Kush.

And a warm thanks to our Brothers and Sisters of the Sea for hauling us Jarheads around for two plus centuries!

Semper fi!

When you get back, Sam, please allow me the honor of having you here at Seahawk Kush Farm.

Be well, Sir.

And to the Corps, best from a Rustpicker.

I read a great story that had to do with the birthday of the United States Marine Corps. A US border agent who had served in the Marines was working the border and saw a van full of what appeared to be US Marines coming in from Mexico. The van had US Government plates and the “marines” were all wearing uniforms that looked pretty accurate but something seemed amiss to this alert Marine. So he asked one of the “Marines,” what is the birthday of the USMC? The “marine” apparantly did not know the answer

. . . as a result 13 illegal immigrants and two smugglers were subsequently caught at the border.

Here is the link to the story

https://www.foxnews.com/us/former-marine-foils-attempted-smuggling-of-13-illegal-immigrants-in-military-uniforms

Happy Birthday Brothers. It is our pleasure for the Air Force to give you guys a lift also from time to time.

One of the things that civilians really don't understand is the Marine were not, and never were a peace keeping force.They were historically brought in as a last resort, when diplomatic relations broke down. They were literally the "Dogs of War".-from the play "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare

The Marines do not have Chaplains, Medics/Corpsmen, or Doctors. They do have lawyers. Thus, proof that they are not in the saving business.

The Marines I met were bad arse. Their equipment & uniforms were just slightly different to regular US Army and they had an "attitude".
We were on exercise with some French speaking regular army Canadians and things got out of hand at times.

Definitely not a a peace keeping force! I was rather glad they were on our side.
