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."
