"We're surrounded. Good. Now we can kill the bastards in any direction." Lt. General "Chesty" Puller, USMC
Happy Birthday Chesty!
Today marks the birthday of Lt. General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller, USMC, born June 26, 1898. Chesty was the most decorated U.S. Marine in history. He was also the only Marine awarded five Navy Crosses. Chesty also received the Silver Star, Legion of Merit (2), Bronze Star, Air Medal and Purple Heart. When anyone refers to a Marine's Marine, they always refer to Gen. Puller.
Chesty served in The Banana Wars (Haiti and Nicaragua), World War II and Korea.
Gen. Puller remains part of Marine folklore. In fact, in boot camp, Marines end their day with, "Good night, Chesty Puller, wherever you are."
Chesty died on 11 October 1971 at age 73. He's buried in Virginia at Christchurch Parish Cemetery. Hoooah!!!

Army Ditches Pixel Army Camo
After 8 years of use and over $5 billion in development, the Army decided to get rid of the pixel camo also known as Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). In short, the Army reported the camo failed to do what it's suppose to do: hide the soldier.
