Quotes of the Day:
"When in doubt, empty the magazine."
"To ERR is human, to FORGIVE divine. HOWEVER, neither is Marine Corps Policy."
"Marines never die! They just go to hell and regroup."
Okay, today is the Marine Corps' birthday - 228 years of awesome sponsorship of NFL football telecasts...
Okay, just kidding. The early ads were rather rough, they didn't get awesome until after electricity was discovered by Tom Edison, a Marine rifleman who wanted to shoot better in the dark.
Ha! Kidding again! Football wasn't invented until the mid-18th century when several Marine riflemen were fighting for control of a pig.
Did you catch the big error in the above post? Yep, all Marines are riflemen, thus the phrase 'Marine rifleman' is repetitive and redundant. All true Marines got that one right away.
Okay, serious now. Great uniforms, great songs, great people. Happy birthday to the USMC! Now go visit Doc Russia, once-a-Marine-always-a-Marine, a Med student, and VRWC
co-conspirator. I bow to his expertise on the Lore of the Corps.
