Certainly an interesting tribute. For anyone whom has not read a first-hand account I would suggest reading "Marine" by Burke Davis. The first hand account of General Puller

[teufelhunde.ret]

During one engaement a ROK (Republic of Korea) commander, whose unit was fighting along with the Marines, called the legendary Marine General Chesty Puller, to report a major Chinese attack in his sector. "How many Chinese are attacking you?" asked Puller. "Many, many Chinese!" replied the excited Korean officer. General Puller asked for another count and got the same answer, "Many, many, many Chinese!" "X*#dammit!" swore Puller, "Put my Marine liaison officer on the radio."

 

In a minute, an American voice came over the air: "Yes sir?"

 

"Lieutenant," growled Chesty, "exactly how many Chinese you got up there?" "General, we got a whole s@#tload of Chinese up here!" "Thank God," exclaimed Puller, "At least there's someone up there who knows how to count".
