Jarhead1 Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) "The raising of the flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years." James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy. "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, 1945. And for the grand finale, this one isnt a WW2 quote, but hey, gotta throw it in there: THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS... is over 225 years of romping, stomping, hell, death and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. We were born in a Bomb Crater, Our Mother was an M-16 & Our Father was the Devil. Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life. I am a rough looking, roving soldier of the sea. I am cocky, self-centered, overbearing, and do not know the meaning of fear, for I am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster, made of blood and guts, who arose from the sea, feasting on anti-Americans throughout the globe. Whenever it may arise, and when my time comes, I will die a glorious death on the battlefield, giving my life for Mom, the Corps, and the American Flag. We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army. On the 7th day, while God rested, we over-ran his perimeter and stole the globe, and we've been running the show ever since. We live like soldiers and talk like sailors and slap the Hell out of both of them. Marine by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice, MARINE BY GOD!!! OORAH!!!"

charlielima Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 I found this interesting quote I found on my PC. The Americans cannot build airplanes, they are only good at razor blades and refrigerators. Herman Goering (Assurance to Hitler) Huh! Ironic or prophetic? Are not our razor blades made from steel salvaged or scrapped from US Navy Ships as old as world war 2 and sold by Bic or Shick who I believe are French. A German quote on the schnellboote sim:" Fortune Favours The Fast" Herman Spedtz. :ph34r: CL Quote
