The US Marines became the greatest fighting force in the world 232-years ago today.
I served with many Marines as my US Navy ship was known as a "gator" built for the needs of Marines in amphibious assaults. We had roughly 300 devil dogs embarked and we played softball tournaments against one another in every port from Oman and the UAE to Singapore. In other words, we got along, which is not always the case when you mix jarheads and squids.
Happy birthday Marines.
