Pendleton's 1st Regiment was surrounded by more than 100,000 Chinese soldiers at the Chosin Reservoir - Korea

S! Chesty. That story reminds me of the one about the 101st Airborne trooper who got sent to the aid station in Bastonge. When he asked about being shipped out, the medic told him that could'nt be done. He said "They got us surrounded- the poor bastards!"

Reminds me of the time me and my buddy came out this club and there was a bundle of about 12 marines intent on starting some trouble with us so my mate stands there counting them aloud and says 'Hey boys, think ya need to get some help' - was classic, not sure where he nicked the quote or if it was original.
