Does anyone know somewhere where I could find the general orders? I can't find them and would like to begin learning them.

FutureDevilDog's post reminded me of what I wrote several years ago...



<b>The Marine Corps Special Vietnam General Orders, are
as follows (c).

SIR, my first general order is;
To kill all commies I engage in battle, sir.

SIR, my second general order is;
I will NOT KILL anyone that is not communist, including
CIVILIANS, stray water buffalo's, and MILITARY OFFICERS
from other branch of services, sir.

SIR, my third general order is;
To secure the nametags of all commies I have killed
in battle send one to our Commander in Chief so, as he can
count it as a confirmed kill, and one dog tag to their folks
back home, sir.

SIR, my fourth general order is;
Once I have buried the little commie, to not say a
prayer in his behalf on account he being a communist and
all, sir.

SIR, my fifth general order is;
To get the most in trade in allowance from the gear,
uniform, weapons and K-bars stripped from the communist
soldiers I have killed in battle, sir.

SIR, my sixth general order is;
To make a reverse copy of all documents recovered from
such dead gooks, forward said disinformation copy along
with other fake information I can obtain to intelligence
to keep them busy and away from us while we wage war upon
the enemy, sir.

SIR, my seventh general order is;
NOT TO BELIEVE the information obtained from intelligence
on account said, dead gook wanted such information to be
found by them, and said officers actually believe that stuff,
sir.

SIR, my eighth general order is;
NOT TO KILL VC, on account they are poorly trained,
are poor misguided souls manipulated by Communist propaganda
and ARE NOT WORTHY of engagement by a United States Marine,
sir.

SIR, my ninth general order is;
If by chance a VC jumps into the sights of my weapon
while I am engaged in a fire fight with real soldiers from
the North Vietnamese Army and said VC suffers death,

I shall bury my weapon in disgrace,
I shall not take credit for a confirmed kill,
I shall give up one rank above Lance Corporal and sir,
I shall not eat the pound cake and peaches from my
C-rats for two days, sir.

SIR, my tenth and final general order is;
To allow all other Marines of different ethnic and
minority groups to get their fair share of confirmed communist
killed gooks before ordering more ammo from the rear sir.</b>
