I still remember a news conference just after the Marines took a few
thunder runs though Baghdad in the begining of the war. Some silly
reporter asked a Marine commander "what do the US Marines actually
do?" The General took a second to consider the question and answered
"We break things. We go in and break stuff so they can't use it
against us". "Then the army comes in and holds the ground"...

I have a cousin, Major in the Army, with all three of his brothers
Marine officers. The father is a Marine officer too.

Sometimes it sucks to be in the Army.
