Brendan Bigney
“No matter
how hard you train them,
how deliberately you plan,
or how much support you send their way,
there is one constant that does not change;
to lose marines
is to watch as fires flick out
beneath a torrent of rain.”
Brendan Bigney, War, What Comes After

Tom Clavin
“To its acolytes, the Marine Corps was no less than a secular religion-Jesuits with guns-grounded in a training regimen and an ethos that relied on a historical narrative of comradeship and brotherhood in arms stretching over 150 years. In short, if a man wanted to be part of America's toughest lineup, he had best join the institution that had fought at the Halls of Montezuma and Tripoli, Belleau Wood and Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Iwo Jima.”
Tom Clavin, The Last Stand of Fox Company: A True Story of U.S. Marines in Combat
