this struck me as incredibly on point. The USMC (Uncle Sugar's Misguided Children) has been a fanatical force since they were formed. Although they have a long American history as an organized and trained military force this is not what scares the shit out of anyone that faces them. They are not the Green Berets, or Navy Seals. In some wars they are largely draftees (Vietnam,,,,) What the USMC has is a history of acting like a Honey Badger in any fight they get in. Both individually and as complete units there are countless tales of an overwhelmed marine (or marine unit) just digging in and fighting against truly stupid odds. And sometimes they succeed, sometimes they succeed but with heavy casualties, and sometimes they get their asses handed to them. But whoever they fought.... they never seem to want to face Marines in combat again.
Longbow are an extreme force of fanatics. They are not some UN police force. From the lowly rifleman to the Ballista these F-ers are a fight you know you need to bring your A game to. Now that you have compared them to Marines I believe it is time for me to explore A Longbow toon. Thoughts are already dancing. Sentinel....?
