    If US Marines drink beer, have one on me. Must just about the oldest regular force in the US.

    I wonder where they got the idea from?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    No idea, but you Englishmen sure had a hell of a job trying to copy them.

    You mean our Royal Marines? possibly the most lethal force to step of a boat since the dawn of man kind.

    Believe me, you don't want to be the enemy when the commandos are coming up the beach, or from the air, or one of the many other combat insertions they're trained in.

    Soory, backwards; and the motto is nicked as well.

    Happy Birthday, nonetheless.

    US Army Infantry is the oldest regular force in the US.

    Resolution of the Continental Congress: 14 June 1775
    RESOLVED, that six companies of expert riflemen be immediately raised in Pennsylvania, two in Maryland, and two in Virginia; that each company consist of a captain, three lieutenants, four sergeants, four corporals, a drummer or trumpeter and sixty-eight privates.
