The Other Story

The United States Marine Corps is over two
hundred and twenty-seven years of death and destruction.
We are the finest fighting force this world has ever known.
I was born in a foxhole.
My mother is anger and my father is pain.
Each moment that I live
is an additional threat upon your life.
I'm a rough-looking, tough-talking soldier of the sea.
I'm cocky, self-centered, overbearing,
and I do not know the meaning of fear,
for I am fear itself.
I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and guts,
who arose from the sea to prey upon enemies across the globe.
I feed upon anti-Americanism whenever it may arise -
my hate makes me grow stronger.
And when my time comes,
I will die a glorious death on the battlefield,
giving my life to Mom, the Corps, and the American flag.
We live like soldiers, talk like sailors,
and slap the crap out of both.
We stole the eagle from the Air Force,
the anchor from the Navy,
and the rope from the Army.
On the seventh day,while God rested,
we overran His perimeter,"borrowed" the globe,
and we've been running the show ever since.
Killer by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice.
