Real quote " Just leave them there. "
Thomas A. Gill. U.S.M.C. Rifle Team. Chosen Few. "Make sure ..." They did not have "snipers" at that time. Just the best shots. And they used them plenty. This was extra. They had regular assignments. To add to this; Dad told me he emptied an M1 carbine into a big Chinese guy and the guy fell on him. He then chose a .45 Thomson, but could not get enough ammo. Back to the M1 (BAR if he could get it loaded) and strapping his buddies to the engine cowling and over the tires to get out. Siphoning gas, running over landmines. His broken bones and bullit holes froze @ 30 below 0. After fighting their way out in the best "reverse attack to the rear" ever the Marines were then locked up in barbed wire enclosures," frostbitten and bandaged". This is because they wanted to get to MacArther and some Army Units. This is the truth. If you wan't a treat ask a Chosen Reservior Marine. The real ones won't want to talk about it. Watch out for the frauds. Sorry about digressing. Finish them off, move on...
