    The Korean War, in which the US Marine Corps fought and won some of its most brutal battles, was not without its gallows humor.

    During one such conflict an ROK (Republic of Korea) commander, whose unit was fighting along with the Marines, called legendary Marine General Chesty Puller, to report a major Chinese attack in his sector.

    "How many Chinese are attacking you?" asked Puller.

    "Many, many, many many, many Chinese!" replied the excited Korean Officer.

    General Puller asked for another count and got the same answer, "Many, many, many, many Chinese!"

    "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've got a whole fucking shitload of Chinese up here!

    "Thank God!" exclaimed Puller, "At least there's someone up there who knows how to count!"

    The Marine League was in full force at Cracker Barrel this AM. Old,long retired guys,some still looking extremely sharp,still on active duty guys,and some younger "to be" Marines,looking extremely sharp also . . . with their hair "high and tight".
    One of the older guys had been in the same fight/brawl as I was in the club in Chu Lai. In fact,as we determined,he could have been the one that knocked out one of my teeth that day. Anyway,we had a good laugh over it and as my wife and I were walking away the young boys were begging him to tell them the "rest of the story". ---- SAWMAN
