26. I did 30 years in the Corps and fought in three of my country's
wars. Fresh out of boot camp I hit the beach at
Okinawa, clawed my way up the blood soaked sand, and
eventually took out an entire enemy machine gun nest with a
single grenade. As a sergeant, I fought in Korea alongside
General MacArthur. We pushed back the enemy inch by bloody
inch all the way up to the Chinese border, always under a
barrage of artillery and small arms fire. In Vietnam. We humped
through the mud and razor grass for 14 hours a day, plagued by Ah, all shore
rain and mosquitoes, ducking under sniper fire all day and duty, huh?
mortar fire all night. In a fire fight, we'd fire until our arms
ached and our guns were empty, then we'd charge the enemy
with bayonets!
