Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines

U.S. Marines have evolved into modern-day American Samurai. These proud patriots are American Icons, and their legacy is explained in this invaluable book. Through photographs, illustrations, and text, readers experience Marine Corps history and traditions. They discover time-honored Marine quotations and re-live the fighting warrior culture of the Corps. Marine slogans? The mascot? The creeds? The commandants? The War Memorial on hallowed ground? Movies about Marines? They are all here. Blood chit? Blood stripe? Air America? General Orders? Mameluke and NCO swords? Yes, all of that plus Happy Hour satire for Marine Grunts and Marine Air. Upbeat and gung-ho. Politically Incorrect and proud of it. No profanity. A magnificent book for Marine Warriors and Marine families.
