That's OK, Pete, those for whom it was meant understand *perfectly.*=20
Also, its not a slogan, its a cadence/chant for getting the boys psyched =
up.
And, Marine's *do* pray for war. It what they do, and they Do It Right!
In America, the Marines have three duties, none of which are very =
glamorous:
Amphibious assault
Embassy security
Shipboard security
To do these things requires a lot of Esprit De Corps, balls, and a =
slightly psychotic outlook on the whole war thing.
We are, truly, a Band Of Brothers.

War is what we pray for
Freedom is what we fight for
