Quotes

  • “I want to go where the guns are.”
  • “Where the Hell do you put the bayonet?”
  • “I wish I had a flair for writing, as then I am certain this regiment would get the credit due them when the history of this operation is finally written. Now everyone knows, but in a few years what is written will govern. I will do a better job of getting the facts in my reports than I did in the past war. I will also claim everything due the regiment.”
  • “I assure you, Virginia, that I, never in my life, have ever made a statement that "I like to fight."”
  • “I have yet to encounter any officer here who has read an account of the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese armies went up through Korea, crossed the Yalu River and turned westward to capture Port Arthur. The Japanese forces found out what cold weather would do to the troops under field conditions.”
  • “Our Eighth Army headquarters is still in Seoul. I don’t understand how they expect the troops to reach the Yalu River without their leaders.”

Article · Português

Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller (West Point, 26 de junho de 1898 - Hampton, 11 de outubro de 1971) foi um oficial do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos Estados Unidos, sendo o marine mais condecorado na história dos fuzileiros navais norte-americanos e o único a ser condecorado cinco vezes com a Cruz da Marinha. Durante sua carreira, ele lutou contra guerrilheiros no Haiti e na Nicarágua, e participou de algumas das batalhas mais sangrentas da Segunda Guerra Mundial e da Guerra da Coreia. Puller se aposentou dos fuzileiros em 1955, vivendo o resto de sua vida na Virgínia, estado em que nasceu. Na minissérie da HBO, The Pacific (2010), Puller é interpretado pelo ator americano William Sadler.
