"We surrounded. That simplifies things." -Chesty Puller

I thought that was the classic bad news, good news joke. "Bad news
men, we are surrounded. Good news men, you can shoot any direction
you want!"


Wikipedia has some great Puller quotes, mostly I think from Guadalcanal.

"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of
us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time."


Read a few books on Chesty Puller. He was not too bright and did some
pretty stupid things.
