#2 Amen, Doc. This is why the Jarines always seem (or are) a more effective patrolling and pacifying force - no one is living in some isolated bubble second-guessing the legs. Kickass.

#4 When I was a teenager, I hated those freaking jarheads. Dunno what changed my attitude over the years, but now those guys are my hero.

#6 Some thing do not change, Doc.
I remember reading Dale Dye's 'Run Between The Raindrops' and the Marines taking of The Citadel in Hue City in 1968.
Dye and his partner kinda gave up being Combat Correspondents long before the higher ups suggested it.
