Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:this is the dumbest poo poo in this whole dumb circlejerk. does the fact that bomber crews got slaughters in huge numbers somehow diminish the deaths of marines or anyone else? the 8th airforce got it harder than anyone else in the us military. 135000 men served in the 8th airforce and about 19% of them died. by comparison, going off peak numbers of 8.2 million in the army and 475k in the marines, 3.8% of soldiers and 5% of marines died in ww2 I'm dogpiling silly poo poo on the Marines because why the gently caress not. Do you want me to get loving real on it? Sorry I hurt your feelings in the idiot thread.

I liked it when the USMC said so one else was allowed to use MARPAT. It figures the first time they manage to procure something that actually works they decide no one else can use it because of stupid service rivalry bullshit.

Mustang posted:And then the Marines just didn't exist for 10+ years after the war. Same with the Navy. US Merchant Marine grabbed a bunch of letters of marque in 1775 and never looked back. Also had the highest casualty rate in WW2 and recieved no government benefits such as the GI Bill or recognition.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:marine dress blues are based on a hand me down from the US Army regiment/legion commanded by GEN "Mad" Anthony Wayne quote:By way of comparison, General Macarthur’s Army killed, captured, or stranded over a quarter of a million Japanese troops during the New Guinea campaign, at a cost of only 33,000 US casualties. The Navy and Marines suffered over 28,000 casualties to kill roughly 20,000 Japanese on Iwo Jima. Even then, the Army played a greater role than Marines like to admit; the Army had more divisions assaulting Okinawa than the Marines.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:marine dress blues are based on a hand me down from the US Army regiment/legion commanded by GEN "Mad" Anthony Wayne I want to believe this article, go army etc., but it gets pretty bad & turns into an exhaustive list of every fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd:sergeantgrampanazifighter1942@aol.com thread ever, relatively quickly. Even a basic understanding of the Pacific theatre -> a sick KD:R was great, but attrition only went so far, after all we just wanted landing strips within bombing range of the mainland. But when "Chinese documents" exonerate soldiers in Korea of their cowardice is the moment when I realize this guy's just got an agenda, and he's old and angry: quote:Marines claimed that the Army had disgraced itself, and passed on stories of US soldiers throwing down their weapons and feigning injuries. A Marine Chaplain even made statements to the press and wrote an article accusing army soldiers of cowardice. etc. quote:During Operation Desert Storm 90,000 Marines attacked Iraqi forces alongside over 500,000 US Army and coalition troops. Yet the Marines garnered 75 percent of the newsprint and TV coverage. This was not an accident.  Anyway, it's all worth it because the comments (all 996 of them) are all from angry USMC vets posting the dumbest poo poo imaginable, in response.

Zeris posted:Anyway, it's all worth it because the comments (all 996 of them) are all from angry USMC vets posting the dumbest poo poo imaginable, in response. lol yup but it is worth mentioning that the Army guys at Chosin really did get a raw deal for many decades, due pretty much solely due to accounts of the battle from Marine leadership (as well as that Navy Chaplain who really did write the article that the FWD: FWD: RE: FWD: post makes reference to) describing them as cowards who threw down their guns, didn't fight, etc. It wasn't until the mid to late '90s when some historians dug deeper using, among other things, Chinese archival documents, that the record was righted and it was recognized that without RCT-31/TF Faith holding out for four days on the east side of the reservoir (in the process taking horrendous casualties) the entire Marine force would've likely been wiped out because the Chinese would've captured Hagaru-ri at the south end of the reservoir before the Marines had a chance to reinforce it. O.P. Smith didn't recommend RCT-31 for inclusion with the PUC that was awarded to the units that fought at Chosin...it took until 1999 for them to be awarded the PUC for their role in the battle.

I could easily believe it. yeah it pretty much happened exactly as gramps laid out in his blog post: quote:Senior officers in Baghdad, as well White House officials who discussed the battle in Washington, say the latest fighting began when a Marine patrol drove directly past one of Mr. Sadr's houses in Najaf -- violating an informal agreement that American units would stay away from Mr. Sadr's strongholds, treating them as part of an ''exclusion zone'' that was at the heart of the cease-fire in the city. something something violence of action something enemy on the horns of a dilemma something something

chemosh6969 posted:I wasn't a marine, so maybe I'm missing something. Is it because it's a dual thing with the Navy? The Chaplain of the Marine Corps (only in existence since 2000) is always a navy guy. The Marines have no doctors, corpsmen or chaplains because they like the idea that every Marine is a rifleman. Similarly, there are no staff corps (Navy)/special branch (Army)/professional (Air Force) officers, either.
