CHESTY FUCKIN PULLER! (peace be upon him) Glad to see a Marine stickied at the top. In case you're wondering what this man's stack looked like: 5 Navy Crosses (yes, 5), Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, 2 Legion of Merit w/ "V" Device, Bronze Star Medal w/ "V" Device, 3 Air Medals and a Purple Heart.
Come at my mans Audie Murphy!
Pure. Bad. Ass.
Spez: if you're wondering how a man like Chesty (peace be upon him) can do this much without getting a Medal of Honor, its because he frequently told the Army to suck a fat cock and Ike didnt like him. Also why he never picked up that 4th star. WE NEVER FORGET ARMY!
Spez 2: I couldn’t be happier that on Veterans Day, I helped start a thread of arguments between Marines and soldiers. It’s like Christmas with my Marine sister and soldier brother and me. Just glorious. I’m glad you civvies are getting a taste on the loving feud between the branches. Enjoy your high tech weaponry and optics while Marines actually get shit done with shitty secondhand gear, like invading Iraq with iron sights, the same I used to shoot 500yds in my first expert rifle qualification (how far does Army shoot again for their qual?). 😉
Audie was just in for the duration of WWII. Unfortunately, they would not let him into West Point to continue his career as an officer. Audie fought as bravely as Chesty, but he was not a Battalion CO or Regimental CO. I am quite sure that Murphy would have made a great CO on ANY level had he remained in the military. Btw, as many of you may know, millions of very able soldiers and Marines were let go at the end of WWII as demobilization destroyed many billets - just no room in a very downsized force. Even men who wanted to stay in were told to go away.
I have nothing against Audie at all. It was simply a low blow jab at the Army. I’m from a family of Army vets, including my brother, until my sister and I joined the Marines. Just tryin to rile up the soldiers here :)
You are as misinformed as a Biden voter. Chesty Puller earned all of his awards in a career spanning from WW I to Korea, starting out as a Private at the end of WW I (though he didn't serve in that war). Do some reading and put down the meth pipe, Hunter. And while Audie Murphy was a brave soldier, he was an actor after WW II and Chesty was still leading troops...and served in another war, leading Marines in Korea. Audie Murphy is not greater than Chesty Puller.
Vaguely related, and 100% TRUE not a joke, a buddy of mine has a friend who did time in the Graybar Hotel, and caramel kettle popcorn saved his life.
Not kidding! He figured out how to combine popcorn a various other ingredients from the prison commissary using a process that turns those ingredients into caramel kettle popcorn. He wisely kept the process secret.
He made lots of it and sold it to his fellow inmates, who LOVED the stuff. Well, at some point some gang decided they didn't like him (for some reason unrelated to the kettle corn), and they were going to kill him, but basically all the other inmates in the other gangs caught wind of it and sent the word out: NO, YOU DON'T KILL HIM. Why? Because all the other gangs wanted to keep getting the awesome snack he made!
Hilarious, and true. He was eventually released, quite alive.
Related to that, another friend of his (yes he has multiple ex-con friends!) was sent to prison for stealing stuff from his employer.... a construction company. In New York state. And this guy had a super-ultra-Italian-sounding name. Once he gets to prison he doesn't tell anyone WHY he's in there, but does tell them his name, and that he was in the construction business, and remember this is NY state.
EVERYONE treated him really, really well with lots of politeness and respect. Haha, I wonder why!
Got a buddy who during the push to marjah (sp?) had a fellow Marine who got shot. His other buddy jumped from cover and grabbed that wounded Marine, dragging him to the berm they were behind and pushed him over. As he climbed over himself he was shot and killed.
They gave him a fucking NAM, posthumously. Handed it to his disgusted father. My buddy got a NAM for putting out an aircraft engine fire in garrison. Another female Marine got a NAM for training like 100 people to be plane captains. This guy sacrificed himself to save another Marine and got the same recognition, not the Cross he probably deserved. I’ve never heard a Marine from that unit say a nice thing about their CO, who also gave himself a Purple Heart because a piece of rock from a bullet hitting the wall hit his hand and gave him a booboo, in the same firefight where a 19 year old PFC got a Purple Heart for a fatal shot to the face. That CO got in the stack on the house these hajis were in (they were in a base and managed to escape and blockade themselves in a building on that base) and when that PFC went in, the CO didn’t follow. Sent him in alone.

fang fang
*Marine
Nothing more irritating as a Marine than being called a “soldier.”
I'm used to it because I joined the guard and then the army reserves once I got out of the Corps.
I hear you though
How dare you. How absolutely dare you! Audie is a great American hero, but he is no Chesty Puller (peace be upon him).

Audie fought as bravely as Chesty, but he was not a Battalion CO or Regimental CO. I am quite sure that Murphy would have made a great CO on ANY level had he remained in the military.

He ain't no Chesty
ONE MORE PUSHUP! DO IT FOR CHESTY!
Pull-ups. **** Push ups is some Army/Navy shit.
Settle down devil pup
You have to distract them with crayons, fact.
He was a Marine not a soldier. Other than that you’re right.
You should probably look into this more, the USMC doesn't give out awards like the Army and Navy. You have zero idea what you are talking about.
I respect your opinion but dont you dare question Chesty Puller (peace be upon him) ever again.
You are as misinformed as a Biden voter.

You're really butthurt.
Rofl get a load of this retard
LOLLL The competition between the Army maintainers and Marines has been over for a long time.
Evidence: Fallujah.
Officers get Silver Stars for making the perfect pot of coffee while indirect lands within a few KM.
I remember a joke where some guy got a bronze star with valor for making dope as fuck macaroni and cheese.

Very true. Officers pin medals on each other more than they jerk each other in the latrine.

Old Man always said Silver Star was for those that shit in their Commanding Officers cereal. But Chestys' the man.
