Guadalcanal. Tarawa. Iwo Jima. Okinawa. Just some of the legendary actions
the US Marine Corps fought in – actions that have rightfully sent the USMC
into legend.
There are few fighting forces that can rival the fearsome reputation of the
United States Marine Corps. Indeed they can trace their ancestry back to the
Revolutionary War in the 18th Century, serving all over the globe up to the
present day.
During the Second World War the US Marines spearheaded the American response to
Japanese aggression, leading to a ferocious island-hopping campaign. The
technologically superior US forces made many amphibious assaults that wore down
the Japanese and culminated in crushing American victories albeit with terrible
loss of life on both sides.
US Marines in the Pacific Theatre of Operations were eager to get the job done
be it with the bayonet, shotgun or their Thompson sub machine guns. Their
loyalty to their comrades and the Corps stood them in good stead as they faced a
fanatical foe where no quarter was given no received.
