us marine corps

evan wright'ın generation kill isimli kitabında* josh ray person'ın çok güzel tanımladığı askeri oluşumdur:

"If Marines could get what they needed when they needed it, we would be happy and wouldn't ready to kill people all of the time. The Marine Corps is like America's Pitbull. They beat us, mistreat us and every once in awhile, they let us out to attack someone."

bu müthiş sözlerin sahibi, kendisine mektup yazarak, "keşke savaşmasaydınız, barış olsaydı diyen" küçük bir amerikalı çocuğa şu şekilde cevap vermiştir:

"Dear Frederick, thank you for your nice letter. But I'm actually a US Marine who was born to kill, where you have clearly mistaken me for some sort-of wine sipping communist dick suck. And although peace probably appeals to tree-loving-bisexuals like you and your parents, I happen to be a death-dealing, blood-crazed warrior who wakes up everyday just hoping for the chance to dismember my enemies and defile their civilizations. Peace sucks a hairy asshole Freddie, war is the mother-fucking answer."

yine aynı kişi, deniz piyadelerinden ayrılmak üzerine söylediği şu sözle de yukarıda sözlerini daha anlaşılır kılmıştır:

"You know what happens when you get out of the Marine Corps? You get your brains back."
