Marine Time Machine | The Loss of a Legend 

Goodnight Chesty, wherever you are...

When it thunders, it's just chesty puller and some Marines on a motivation run. Semper FI USMC, From a grateful Army brat.

I used to freakin hate it doing extra reps for Chesty, now I miss it.

In 1967 General Puller stopped at the E M club 12 area Camp Pendleton to have a few beers with the troops . After downing a few he said , Now I'm going to the base brig & spend some time with the Marines there .

I was once caught with my hands in my pockets by my First Sgt. He barked "MARINE, JUST WHAT IN THE F DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? MARINES DON'T PUT THEIR HANDS IN THEIR POCKETS!" I stated "First Sgt., I heard Chesty Puller once said that a man with empty pockets and cold hands is too dumb to be a Marine". He said "As you were", and never gave me crap again. Did he really say that? We may never know, but I felt like a badass, and we know the legend of Chesty Puller is a great one indeed. Goodnight Chesty, wherever you are.

Can you believe someone gave a "thumbs down" to the Marines Marine. Long live the Legend of Chesty Puller.

Let's see: joined at tail end of WW1, served five years in Haiti, took part in most of the major battles in the Pacific during WW2 (if not all of them), forced to retire afterward due to health concerns (with a mess of 🏅), AND he volunteered for duty in Vietnam? Good Lord, this man was HARD CORE! He should be on a recruiting poster.

'72-76, Semper Fi. We said "Goodnight Chester Puller, wherever you are" every night from June 23, 1972 to September 22, 1972, Parris Island, Platoon 265

THE FEW,THE PROUD,THE MARINES

The man had an unbelieveable career. 5 Navy Crosses! I felt fortunate to have gotten the geedunk ribbons I have! Nobody looked more like a Marine than Chesty Puller.

I like how the modern Marine Corp still clings to its old badass history. Truth be told if Chesty was in this weak MC of today. He would have been relieved of command. Like that brave Major was.

RIP Chesty, all recruits wish you a “Good Night, Chesty”! As we fall to sleep.

I've never seen someone who looked the part more than Chesty Puller. May he rest in peace and I'm sure he's in charge of guarding the streets of heaven with the other Marines.

It may be appropriate to mention that his son (Lew Puller, Junior) was a highly decorated and grievously wounded Marine infantry officer and his son-in-law (Michael Downs) attained Flag rank and led Marines in the Battle of hue City.

RIP to a great marine and American

You could hear Chesty coming, from block away, with the clanking of his 'nads of steel announcing his arrival.

Oh God, we need another great hero like Chesty now.

Good night Chesty, wherever you are. SEMPER FI‼️🍻

Goodnight Chesty. Wherever you are. Semper Fi

I stood a IG inspection on Kadina Airbase Okinawa, 1955 he landed in an old chopper in his Ike Jacket which was banned, couldn’t go on Liberty in it. Now he was a MARINE!!!! Semper Fi

Saint Chesty, patron saint of the United States and the Marine Corps!

I'd like to see a movie about his life. Semper fi Chesty, wherever you are...

What a man. What a Marine. One of our greatest Americans and Virginians.

My father served under Chesty Puller at Chosin Reservoir. To this day, even 67 years after the fact, he still won't talk about it. He always changes the subject whenever I try to ask him about his service there. Must have truly been Hell on earth.

Good night Chesty, wherever you are.

Chesty doesn’t need a weapon… his knife hand has 100 confirmed kills

Goodnight Chesty. Wherever you are. Semper Fidelis

"Good Night Chesty Puller, where ever you are!"

Rest in peace Marine. Semper Fidelis

LONG LIVE THE LEGEND OF THE GREATEST MARINE. R.I.P. CHESTY G.B.

Semper Fi, good night Chesty , long live the USMC and all Marines who have served and are serving now !!!!

Legendary Marine I’ve heard Tales about Chesty from lots of Marines... His encounters with the enemy r incredible.

God Bless Chesty, he and my uncle Gunny Bob were great friends and fought together on Edson's ridge where my uncle earned his silver star.

Goodnight Chesty where ever you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless him and bless the spirit of those men in the uniform 🗽

From a US ARMY artilleryman thank you sir your a true American and marine

Born in West Point, VA ~ just down from Saluda and Urbanna ~ he was Grand Marshall of the Oyster Festival parade in late '60s (still held today) where I saw him in a restored Willys Jeep. Ramrod straight, seated at attention, he acknowledged the warm applause from the crowd ~ HIS crowd.

Even though I am not a marine, I want to make Chesty, Gunnies Ermey and Basilone proud of what I do to Antifa in the future.

When the Lord decided to create a Marine...

There's a great biography that I read shortly after I joined the Marine Corps.

Chesty was distantly related to Gen. Patton. Two of the greatest, most battle rdy American generals ever.

Goodnight Chesty, wherever you are!!

The Baddest Of Them All, Good Night Chesty Will Be Under Your Leadership Sooner Than Later Semper Fi Devil Dog

Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸

I wish I could've met this guy.

SEMPER FI !!

Salute to him

For a minute, I thought this channel was endorsing the "Marine Corps Times". I hate that crappy bureaucratic news agency.

Not a loss. He proudly stepped out.

Came here after Jocko podcast. What a legend

Semper Fi sir

I spent "some time" in the Corps. One of the most sacred treasures I will ever have is the signed copy of "Unfortunate Son" of Lewis Puller Jr by himself. It was in 1992 on CamLej in the Base Exchange upon returning from the Gulf War. I was in line over noon chow, and returned late. Once I explained why and showed my book, I gave some pushups and called it a day. "Jr" shot himself about a year later dealing with his father's stigma.

Lol at marine time machine and awesome vid🤙 grele. Mary.

Respect 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Semper Fi brother, I’ll see you on the other side

I remember that day we'll.

I remember the day we got the word, in the Med with 2/2, that he had died.

Good ol chesty

I wonder if those 4 stars felt outranked I would have.

LONG live Chesty!

United State's Marine's God Bless 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🌏🌎🌍

My Granddad served with the Marines in Nicaragua back in the early days of Chesty.never did find out if they crossed paths.

Chesty is the All Time Champion. The model Marine officer!

My father's commanding officer. Ist Marines, scout-recon. First out on beach,,,,first out in morning, rah. Nite Chesty !

I had the bad luck to be in Boot Camp at PI when he died. Naturally the DI's blamed his death on us.

Pelelieu was some of the toughest fighting of WWII

Semper Fidelis

Good night, Chesty Puller.

Saw his statue in Quantico @ the museum

The fact that he was disappointed there was no way to attach a bayonet. *On a flamethrower* 😂

I ran across this video, after watching "MEGAN LEAVEY" __ I know it's "Hollywood" but I'm a dog lover, and Sgt. Rex was one of the greatest Marines ever. I was in Task Force Tarawa in Iraq. Just watch the movie. A lot of Marines gave their lives to defend. I am no good at this typing this kind of stuff. I'll never forget the night We got Pvt. Jessica Lynch out of An Nasiriyah, what a crazy couple of days and weeks

Rip Chesty

Semper Fi; Baby !!!

To this day groups of Marines otherwise known as a "gaglefuck" preform a ritual dance to summon the ghost of chesty puller in order to help them get their long awaited kills

This Devil Dog never was afraid to go off to war

I think it was probably the right decision to make him retire. He'd suffered a stroke. He never would have willingly left the Corps... His poor wife deserved a little time with the old man. It's disgusting the Navy didn't give him 100 percent pay in retirement. Old guy was worried about money until his last days. This is a man who led and marched with his Marines well into his 50s. Unfortunately the military is slow to rectify these things.

Semper fi

I love you USA.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 💓

How this man went from enlisted to officer back to enlisted to an officer again and still made it to a 3 star still confuses me

The dude looks like a marine through and through. Like there is absolutely nothing else he is suited for

The "Thumbs Down" may have been because of the inaccuracy of this video - or certainly if we are to believe Chesty Puller himself, via his autobiography. He was riffed out after WWI as a sergeant, but given the opportunity to go to Haiti as a second lieutenant, as a combat adviser to the Haitian Army in putting down a revolt. This was done with the deal of "...if you live, you might even be able to stay in the Corps, and there's even an outside chance that you'll be able to keep your bar...". The experience played a defining role in his subsequent service, especially on Guadacanal. Also - I am pretty sure that the video is equally inaccurate about his "not going overseas in WWI, but truthfully, I don't have enough specific recollection of that part of his autobiography, to be certain, and I don't want to add one error on top of another. These people could have at very least taken the time and trouble to read "Marine", by Lewis B Puller, before claiming to do a biography of him. Geoff Rohde - former Marine

I wonder how Chesty would feel about administratively separating marines for not taking the jab. The Marine Corps I know and loved died 20 years ago.

What about Lewis B Puller Jr.? Anyone know about Chesty's son that served in Vietnam?
