Commandant Gen. Joseph Dunford, who led “Safety Last’s” initial design, reportedly told senior leaders, “The center of gravity for this mission is Darwinian natural selection. We let the Marines exist in a Lord of the Flies environment, without external supervision, in order to forge a stronger, smaller, more disaster-free Marine Corps after the purge.”

Fantastic!
Funny post.
Since when have they put their safety first. We drop them off at beaches and tell them "fend for yourselves, boys". What will we do if they all survive?
Maybe we should try this with politicians...

We didn't just steal from the Army. Although it was easier than stealing from the Navy.
[QUOTE=JohnnyDrama;1900930][QUOTE]...and then they go steal what they need from the Army.A smart .mil person doesn't need to steal anything. They make a call or drop in to someone's office. 24 hrs later if that, it's been delivered. At least that's how it worked years ago.Quote:

The Army section of Dufflebag has some great stories.
