At Da Nang, a tough, experienced Marine lieutenant was indoctrinating a group
of men fresh in for service in his platoon. "Don't never sell these boys
out here short! They're rough, tough, real blitzers! Never mind what you learnt
in trainin', fergft all that jazz and remember they're battle-tough and take
no sh*t. Don't let lem out of your sight. If they jump fer cover, you jump,
too. Don't never take your eye off 'em."
One GI piped up, "Just how near to the Viet Cong are we, Lieutenant?"
"Who the hell said anything about the VC?" the off icer shouted, "I'm
talking about my own Gunnies!"
