1LT Creech

Thank you Creech, gotta provide my POV aha! ;D 

Green another fantastic theatrical masterpiece! top notch work!  Love love love this. 

Just like to say before you watch, there is more comedy in this episode than there has ever been. 
 

Just some final footage I caught last night when I jumped on for the last 15 minutes. See you Sunday chaps!!

I always find the comments and stories by friend or foe about Marines and/or the Marine Corps very interesting and informative. The following quotes are from the book, "Condition Red: Destroyer Action In the South Pacific" by Frederick Bell. Bell was a senior officer and CO on a destroyer in the Pacific in World War 2.
 
Chapter "Warriors for the Working Day, page 72
 
". . . because we destroyer sailors have seen a lot of them during the past year and we think they're the most magnificent close combat fighters the world has ever known. They go about their work with a matter-of-fact confidence; they possess an esprit de corps that is superb. Of all the warriors I have seen - United Nations and Axis, the United States Marines are the ones that I would want most to have on my side."
 
page 73
"The Japs fight only defensively in the daytime. At night they attempt their bayonet charges and their infiltration tactics. Heretofore this has proved demoralizing to the troops opposing them, but the Marines don't scare. They stay put in their foxholes and fire at anything that moves. It must be very discouraging to the Japanese. They never met first class fighting men before."
 
Chapter, "Christmas, 40 South
 
page 141
"It took only a few hours to embark the Marines who were being evacuated. They had been on that damnable island since August 7th and they were ready to leave. In the four months on Guadalcanal they had seen enough close combat, hand-to-hand fighting, air raids, naval bombardment and just plain hell to last any fighting man the rest of his natural life. There were not many of them; a bare handful, as armies go, but they had left their mark on Japan as no one ever had done before. To speak of these men as heroic, magnificent, would be inadequate as well as meaningless, for descriptive words and phrases have been over-worked in the writings of this war."

Ramadi, 2004, Golf Company, 2/4, 1st Platoon, aka Joker One.
The four platoons were assigned Joker 1, 2, 3 and 4.  The book, "Joker One, A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood".
 
The book is written by Joker One Actual, Platoon Commander, 1st Lt Campbell.  The Marines replaced the Army in Ramadi who the Marines always felt really screwed things up.  Hence, the Marines were called in.  One Marine battalion for a city of 350,000.
 
After losing Corporal Bolden in an RPG attack, the first fatality of the platoon, Lt Campbell was feeling depressed about Bolden's death.  Campbell wrote this in the book talking about his magnificent Marines;
 
"They weren't bitter, they weren't angry, and, unlike me, they weren't trapped in a selfish spiral of recrimination and angst.  On some level, my men still retained a beautiful, simple, powerful faith:  There was a mission to help a brutalized people, that mission was worth doing, and if someone had to do it, then it might as well be them.  And if anyone tried to stop my Marines in pursuit of that mission, then God help them, because my men would do their utmost to kill our enemies stone dead.
 
"My Marines were magnificient, and they saved me that time.
 
". . . I watched them, and I noticed, perhaps more intently than ever before, all the small wonderful things that made my Marines the best.
 
(long list of examples)
 
"All these things and more that I can't put into words I noticed, but prepared me to finally receive some sort of absolution in the form of the skinny, filthy, wonderful PFC Gabriel Henderson.  For whatever reason, Henderson's tender heart kept a close eye on me, and one day, roughly two weeks after Bolding's death, he walked up to me and said out of the blue.
 
"Hey sir. you know that none of the platoon blames you for what happened to Bolding.  It's okay sir."
 
I didn't know what to say to that.
 
Henderson broke into a big smile.  "Bolding's in heaven now sir, and I know that he's smiling down at us right now, just like he always smiled at us when he was here.  He's okay sir.  Don't worry sir.  He's okay.  And someday you will get to see him again sir."
 
I had to turn away to keep from crying.
 
 
Joker One was a well oiled fighting machine, just like most Marine infantry units.  And like so many other books by Marines and Marine Officers, they felt like their men were the best and would walk to the gates of hell for them.  It just Marines being Marines, like they've done for over two hundred years!
