"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."

Chesty Puller is my personal hero, 22 citations for valor I think, as well as Henry Ford: 'whether you think you can, or think you can't . . you're probably right.' very similar approach to life in these 2 men . . .
And Thomas Edison when asked about finding the filament for the light bulb . . 'We aren't wasting time, now we know 10,000 things that don't work'
then there's George Patten 'a good decision applied violently now, is better than a perfect decision applied later'
