I spent a career in the Army harassing Marines, but have the utmost respect for them. Never met a bad one. My best Marine "war story":
On the way back from mid-deployment leave from Iraq, I was the ranking guy and was appointed as the "airplane commander". One of my duties was to issue a terrorist prevention briefing as our plane was loading.
I grabbed the microphone and addressed the entire plane. "Hi. I'm LTC Johnny. I'm your airplane commander and will issue you your mandatory terrorist briefing. If you're a terrorist on this plane, you're stupid. Why? It's not the 328 US Army soldiers on this flight that you have to worry about. Instead; it's the two Marines!"
The whole plane burst into laughter. None was louder than the two Marines. The air traffic controllers likewise heard the briefing and loved it. One of my greatest moments. I'm a mere shell of what I once was.Comment
