Given my loyalty to the USMC I hate to admit it, but the 101st have trained and sustained a true expeditionary marauding force. All props to them.

Now if I could only allow the Royal Marines to give me a go at age 42 and without a Commonwealth passport...

Much as I respect the US military, one does have to ask: Is a Special Troops Battalion the military equivalent to a Special School?
