My Favorite Quote from Buck the Marine

From In My World: Buck the Marine and the Jolly Rancher Bandits:

“According to the Marine kill’n manual,” Buck answered, “when surrounded you kill everyone… in a circle.”

Classic IMAO.

Also, just about the only line in the piece without a typo.

  1. Said the great Chesty Puller as the US Marines, outnumbered 8 to 1, engaged the Chinese at the frozen Chosin Resevoir:

    We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies things.”

    As the Marine manual instructs, they killed in a circle: kill, advance, repeat.
