[QUOTE="river_wolf, post: 133447, member: 1729"] The Korean War, in which the Marine Corps fought and won some of its most brutal battles, was not without its gallows humor. During one such conflict, a ROK ( Republic of Korea ) commander, whose unit was fighting along with the Marines, got on the horn to 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 a similar, anxious 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&$% load of Chinese up here!" "Thank God." exclaimed Puller, "At least there's someone up there who knows how to count." [/QUOTE]
