The Patrol, USMC Story
A Taliban Army Platoon was on patrol when the commander noticed a lone Marine standing on a hilltop in their area. The commander told two of his soldiers to go take out the Marine, so they dropped their packs and promptly ran as fast as they could toward him. Just before they got to the top, the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The two soldiers followed. For the next few minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started...it stopped and the Marine came back up on the hilltop. He brushed off his cammies...(uniform)...straightened his cap...crossed his arms...and stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers.
The infuriated commander called for a squad to go get the Marine. They promptly ran as fast as they could toward, him....just before they got to the top...the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The squad followed...and for the next few minutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started...it stopped and the Marine came back up on the hilltop....brushed off his cammies...straightened his cap...crossed his arms and again stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers. The commander was 'really' hot now. He ordered the rest of his platoon to attack the Marine. Determined that Taliban soldiers were far superior to one 'lone' Marine...they had blood in their eyes as they ran up the hill. Just before they got to the top...the Marine again ran over the other side of the hill. The blood thirsty soldiers followed. For many minutes there were horrific screams and dust flying in the air. It continued and continued for quite a while. Finally...one 'lone' Taliban soldier came crawling back to the commander...all bloody and beat about the head and shoulders. His uniform was torn...cuts were all over his body. The commander demanded a report. The lone soldier...trying to catch his breath... replied in a forceful and trembling voice: "Sir,...run,...it's a trick. There are TWO of them!!" Semper Fi !! |

Kathy,
I'm surprised at you. You should know Latin. Semper = Always Fi = Fidelis = Faithful Larry III In high school, the Jesuits taught me how to think. In college, the Christian Brothers taught me how to drink. or I had 4 years of Latin in high school. We used to say; "Latin is a dead language and it's killing me!!" or "Et tu Aredubjay !!!!" |

That's a good one!
I always held the Marines in high regard; they defended every communications station that I worked at during my 8 years in the Navy. I see that we are again visiting the "Latin in America" vein with our jokes and puns. I am an extreme disadvantage since I didn't take that subject in school. So I will simply leave you with this: SI HOC LEGERE SCIS NIMINUM ERUDITIONIS HABES and PAX AMERICAS to us all....Don
