| In order to keep you from sounding like a communist in the future you should know that it is Chesty, which is a nickname.
Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller Quotes "Paper-work will ruin any military force" - Lieutenant-General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller
"You don't hurt 'em if you don't hit 'em." - Lieutenant-General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller
When an Army captain asked him for the direction of the line of retreat, Col Puller called his Tank Commander, gave them the Army position, and ordered: "If they start to pull back from that line, even one foot, I want you to open fire on them." Turning to the captain, he replied "Does that answer your question? We're here to fight." At Koto-ri in Korea - Chesty Puller at Koto-ri in Korea (From "Marine: The Life of Chesty Puller" by Burke Davis)
"The mail service has been excellent out here, and in my opinion this is all that the Air Force has accomplished during the war." - Chesty Puller in a letter to his wife while in Korea
"Don't forget that you're First Marines! Not all the Communists in hell can overrun you!" - Chesty Puller motivating his men at Chosin Reservoir
"Our Country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any AMERICA because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race!" -Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC
"Take me to the Brig. I want to see the "real Marines". " Major General Chesty Puller, USMC - while on a Battalion inspection.
"We're surrounded. That simplifies the problem." - Attributed to Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC (I have found three versions of this one) The quotes may not be Chesty Pullers, but may instead have been said by General O.P.Smith
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time" - Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC
"They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!" - Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC When the Marines were cut off behind enemy lines 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.
"They are a damn site better than the U.S. Army, at least we know that they will be there in the morning." - Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller when a journalist asked him about being surrounded by 22. enemy divisions
"there are not enough chinamen in the world to stop a fully armed Marine regiment from going where ever they wont to go" - Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller

| I actually knew that it was Chesty, but I fat-fingered the keyboard while typing..... I was told that was the surest way to insult a Marine. | |
