| rdfs:comment | - Lieutenant General Lewis "Chesty" Puller was a U.S. Marine whose balls served as giant vats of liquified American resolve. He was also the most decorated Marine in history. No sir, theres no doubt about it - Chesty definitely would have never agreed to any form of surrenderery in Iraq. That would surely be retreat, and hell, he just got there.
- Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller (June 26, 1898 – October 11, 1971) was a commander in the United States Marine Corps. Puller is one of the most, if not the most, decorated members of the Marine Corps in its history. He is the only Marine to be awarded five Navy Crosses. During his career, he fought guerrillas in Haiti and Nicaragua, and participated in some of the bloodiest battles of World War II and the Korean War. Puller retired in 1955 and spent the rest of his life in Virginia.
