"The deadliest weapon in the world is a MARINE and his rifle!"

GEN. PERSHING, US.ARMY

"I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery. But I am pleading with you with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all."

Marine General James Mattis, to Iraqi tribal leaders

"By their victory, the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions and other units of the Fifth Amphibious Corps have made an accounting to their country which only history will be able to value fully. Among the Americans who served on Iwo Island, uncommon valor was a common virtue."

Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, U.S. Navy

"We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?"

Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., USA, Chairman of the the Joint

"Come on, you sons of bitches-do you want to live forever?"

Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly, USMC, Belleau Wood, June 1918.

"I never knew many Marines who were only a 'little' dangerous. Most of them seem to be a LOT dangerous. That, I think, is the idea."

Capt. Toby Houghs, USAF

"There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion."

Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army
