Idézet:The United States Marine Corps has had a storied history since its creation 250 years ago. Whether fighting for the nation's freedom against Great Britain in the colonial era, afloat as soldiers of the sea in the 19th century, as a potent land force in World War I, an efficient amphibious force in World War II, exemplars of small-war campaigning in Latin America, Vietnam, and the Middle East, or as today's Stand-in-Force, Marines have remained faithful to the Service's unique warrior culture and high standards. Institutionally, organizationally, and technologically, Marine Corps leaders have adjusted the Service to meet the needs of the nation and the changing character of war.
