    Given the British invented the Marines, I’d say that it’s a good guess that pride in being a Marine comes from there. But every unit or regiment has pride in itself and thinks they’re better than the rest, from my experience of military personnel

He doesn't talk about it at all, your views your respect and opinions alone have completely changed my opinions on Americans so much so that I now could probably name 100 US military off the top of of my head that I know, follow and completely respect.... but it all started with combat arms lol so thank you for being you!!!

    Around Christmas 1917, British and US troops exchanged small gifts - usually novelty items from rations (US troops seemingly enjoying 'plum duff' and British troops blown away by pork and beans) or hand-carved items and 'trench art'. It's good to see that the other special relationship between the soldiers of our countries is kept alive and well over 100 years later.

    Hi buddy, loved your reaction to receiving those special gifts from a serving U.K. forces marine! My late father (who served his country in the Grenadier Guards second battalion and did 4 tours of Northern Ireland back in the 70s during the height of hostilities) once paid a trip to the factory where the Royal Marines Commando dagger is produced and was fortunate enough to be able to purchase one, which I now own. I would like to gift it to you but I am not sure if I would be allowed due to international shipping laws on restricted items? Do you think there is any way I could get this wicked blade over to you, where you are stationed? Kind regards, Alan.
