Here's one from a Marine Corporal in 5th MEB with me at Guantanamo. A correspondent from NBC was asking him a question: "If you had one wish right now, what would it be?". The correspondent expected him to reply along the lines of wishing to be back home in time for Thanksgiving or something like that. The Marine rolled the half-chewed cigar he was smoking around in his mouth, stared forward and said: "I wanna go through that fence!". He really wanted to cut a five-mile wide swath of destruction all the way to Havana and personally shoot that bearded fool named Castro.
