TPBM is think of Charles at a 100th birthday party watching a bunch of old men and women talking into the wrong end of a microphone.

TPBM has heard about "Carlson's Raiders" and their legendary 30+ days long patrol.... 
Brigadier General Evans Fordyce Carlson, renowned for the "Makin Island Raid" on August 17, 1942 and their "Long Patrol" from November 4, 1942 to December 4, 1942 behind Japanese lines on Guadalcanal, in which 488 Japanese were killed, 16 Raiders were killed and 18 wounded, during the Guadalcanal campaign.

Country: | Evans Carlson USMC was the leader of the group of raiders that landed on
Makin Island and created lots of havoc for the Japanese. What is not so
widely known is that he left nine men behind when he left Makin. These
nine marines were captured, tortured by the Japanese and executed.
TPBM is watching it rain....
