	United States Marine Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marines were among the first troops deployed to Vietnam, as well as the last to leave during the evacuation of the American embassy in Saigon.
		The Marine Corps has a widely-held reputation as a fierce and effective fighting force and the Marines take pride in their gung-ho attitude, are indoctrinated with a strong belief in their chain of command and the importance of esprit de corps, a spirit of enthusiasm and pride in themselves and the Corps.
		Marines are less generous with awards and unit identification; the rationale behind this is that as a member of an elite force, it is enough to be identified simply as a Marine.

	US Marines 'Traumatised' By Fallujah Assault
		In the macho culture of the US Marine Corps, it is sometimes hard for its personnel, male or female, to admit they have a problem and some try to ride out the symptoms, only seeking help after weeks of suffering in silence.
		The marines who seek help can be haunted by the sight of appalling injuries, the screams of wounded comrades, the fear of death, or simply the chaotic hell of combat, the psychologists say.
		The marines were the last of the services in the US military to acknowledge that the stresses of the combat could undermine its fighting capacity and to recruit psychologists to provide counselling and other therapies.

		Their Marines were being sent to Iraq with a difficult order: To win the war, but also to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi civilians — a difficult task without the ability to speak Arabic.
		The Marines don’t have enough time to become fluent in Arabic, but the aim is that by the time they return to Iraq they will know enough basic grammar, military vocabulary and conversational Arabic so that they will not have to constantly rely on an interpreter.
		One Marine corporal told a local journalist that after these classes, he hopes to be able to identify words in sentences, such as “bomb” and/or “insurgent” even if he doesn’t understand the entire sentence being said to him.
