""A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there\'s no such thing as a former Marine. You\'re a Marine, just in a different uniform and you\'re in a different phase of your life. But you\'ll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. There\'s no such thing as a former Marine."
\r\n
\r\nGeneral James F. Amos, 35th Commandant of the Marine Corps"

It was a classic- absolutely classic- military breaching of a very very tough minefield, barbed wire, fire trenches-type barrier."
