    Dark, I bequeath my throne to you... you have stumped me....

    I have some great quotes.... let's see if anyone can get these and Dark I will throw a Marine one in there....

    1. "I'd rather go down the river with seven studs than with a hundred shitheads"

    2. "Onward we stagger, and if the tanks come, may God help the tanks."

    3. "When you men get home and face an anti-war protester, look him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend, because she knows she's dating a pussy."

    4. "The day of parachute troops is over"

    5. "Army: A body of men assembled to rectify the mistakes of the diplomats."

    6. "I was provided with additional input that was radically different from the truth. I assisted in furthering that version."

    Mine was the Old Guard at the Battle of Waterloo. The British demanded their surrender and they replied "Shit". What the British nobles reported was "The Old Guard doesn't surrender. The Old Guard dies".

    Red... Not Chesty Puller... the others are correct... if I remember correctly I do believe he put that quote in his autobiography as well, but it is also credited to Gen. James Mattis, USMC....

    Good Job.... only 4 more answers to go

    I'm pretty sure I read that quote in his book American Soldier, could be wrong though.
