That was the Army who said that during the Battle of the Bulge. Not Marines. Yes, it matters, Marines aren't soldiers (so please stop calling us soldiers). Story time.

After the Frozen Chosin (where this quote comes from), the Army retreated leaving their gear and some of their wounded behind. As Chesty (peace be upon him) and his Marines retreated behind the Army, they collected the gear and Army wounded on their way. When they reached "safety," The Army commander thanked Chesty and asked for his men's gear. Chesty had the Marines paint USMC on all of that gear and told the Army commander that he would have to fight him for it.

There is a reason Marines are the tip of the spear.
