My favorite Marine Corp motto; Retreating Hell! We're just attacking in a different direction.

 

You know it!

 

We have the enemy to the left and to the right of us; they are both ahead of us and behind us. Bastards can't get away this time! - General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller.

 

This quote was uttered when the Marines were cut off behind enemy lines near the Chosin Reservoir, and the Army had written

the 1st Marine Division off as being lost because they were surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. The Marines made it out inflicting the highest casualty

ratio on an enemy in history and destroying 7 entire enemy divisions in the process. An enemy division is 16500+ men while a Marine division is 12500 men.
