As he crouched back behind the wall to reload, he saw the barrel of an enemy machine gun appear from around the wall.
Without hesitation, he dropped his empty weapon and seized the machine gun barrel. He overwhelmed the enemy fighter in hand-to-hand combat, killing him with several blows to the head with the enemy’s own machine gun. | The Patriot Perspective

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation.

At First Fallujah a series of cell phone calls from "insurgents" was intercepted:

The Marines keep coming! We keep shooting, but they STILL keep coming!

That such fine warriors are wasted by imbeciles in office is a disgrace.

And their oath says "against all enemies, foreign and domestic". God has truly blessed America, by giving us such men. Keep praying for our Nation.

There was a day when I was **kinda, sorta, maybe for just for a minute or two** badass, but in truth, I have to admit to never having been that badass.

I am very glad these badasses exist and that they are willing to serve we who don't have their level of badassedness.
