“You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth – and the amusing thing about it is that they are.”

~Kevin Keaney

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps! ”

~Eleanor Roosevelt

9. It may be apocryphal

But from what I have read about her, I can picture her making such a comment (though not perhaps in a public forum).
