One Good Marine
- Posted by Beth (Blue Star Chronicles) on September 30th, 2007 filed in General, Jokes, Support the Troops
A large group of Al-Qaeda fighters are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune:
“One MARINE is better than ten Al-Qaeda fighters “.
The Al-Qaeda commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the dune where upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.
The voice once again calls out:
“One MARINE is better than one-hundred Al-Qaeda fighters.”
Furious, the Al-Qaeda commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence.
The MARINE’S voice calls out again:
“One MARINE is better than one-thousand Al-Qaeda fighters.”
The enraged Al-Qaeda commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the dune. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and Cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought …. Then silence.
Eventually one badly wounded Al-Qaeda fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander …….
“Don’t send any more men …… it’s a trap. There are two of them.”

Beth,
Great post! My nephew is on Parris Island as I write this, and will become an artillery man. He’s proud to serve, and proud of this country.
My step-daughter is at NMMI right now, and next year, will be at the USCGA. She’s an immigrant from China, and determined to serve.
I’m just proud as hell of both of them.
