Today my beloved Corps is 238 years old. I thought about writing a long elaborate prose about the Corps, it’s ethos, it’s legend, mythology and culture. Instead I realized that there is one quote, from a woman who by all accounts despised the Corps, that sums it up very well.

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!” – Eleanor Roosevelt
 

Happy birthday Mother Green.

By LC 0311 Sir Crunchie I.M.H., K.o.E.

Former USMC infantryman, proud father of a current USMC infantryman and two Princesses who know what that means. Currently an NRA law enforcement firearms instructor, radar instructor, CPR instructor, a few others but you get the point. Catholic, conservative, heterosexual, gun owner, anything I can do to piss off liberals.
