USA eMarines sure do pack a punch!

Tonight I was waiting for the Monday night Resistance War to start in Baja and then I realized that I hadn't picked anyone to start it! It was about 7:30pm (16:30 game time) and I thought "what do I do?" and then I realized "hey ... go get a Marine!" I stopped by my office and jumped onto IRC into the #JCS channel where I found several Marines about to deploy to Romania to tank for the day. Lucius "Lucky" Varenus volunteered so I sent him the gold from Fort Knox and within minutes he had gotten us started and then he was off to deliver some major damage overseas. Before they left they said it was too bad I couldn't join them, since I'm a 10.8 General, and I said that I would love to be able to do that after my political life ... then I was in for a treat.
I tuned in to watch the fight and saw 10 Marines deal more than 10k of damage in less than 3 minutes. Each of them was armed with Q3 weapons and 10 gold and was able to deal between 136-160 damage. The unit include😛
Eugen Harlot - General
qn20 - General
Publius - General
Tsar Vandall - General
greccelightning - General
Mdeusa03 - General
Paradizaic - General
Sukoidha - General
Lucius Varenus - General
tdwester - Colonel
It was truly impressive to watch the numbers as each attack came in and to know they were all our soldiers. Made me wish I could join in. Oh well ... sometime. I spoke with tdwester some more about it in IRC later on. It was awesome.
Then I went over to #Congress for a while to see what they were up to ... lots of discussion ... lots of bickering over the pending Speaker of the House election. But I think that this will be a great Congress once they get off to their start and Kyle passes the reins over to his successor (either my Press Secretary Claire, Cromstar, or Killing Time).
One thing that I realized today ... beyond just how awesome that our Marines are in battle ... was that I miss my left and right hands from my Administration. Tiacha resigned from Chief of Staff this weekend after a difficult decision for her and seems to have now quit the game and I will really miss her as a friend and as a hard working member of my Cabinet. Then Hokiehigh has been pretty busy with a new baby boy this week and hasn't had time to do the many things that he does to keep me on track. Actually, Hokie has left me daily reminder messages and I forgot he reminded me to get someone to start the RW today. It's all good though. Harrison Richardson and Equality have both recently stepped up to help me with some projects that we're working on, including the new War Games that will be starting soon ... more details later.
Again, great job eMarines! Ooh rah!

Why waste 100 GOLD on wellness packs in a useless training war?
you didnt mention me ;__;
Way to go eUSA Marines !
the gold in wellness packs was used in Romania 😉 read carefully.
Look at gold melting http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/6363" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show[..]/6363
The Marines get funding according to a budget approved by Congress. They spend it according to their own needs, be it training, wars, or supporting our allies. It's all transparent. Just ask an eUSA Congressman.
The marines are good, but the rest of the army = fail
I'll kindly ask you to retract that statement Pyro.
Agree with Hari. Our whole military is valuable.
what about the moral hazard?
Yeah. I'm not slamming the other military in favor of the Marines. I just happened to catch this battle and wanted to let the troops know they did a great job. That region was secured a little while ago after some impressive last minute tanking on both sides with average damage in the 200's!
Victory!
"Andhra Pradesh has been occupied by Romania."
Yes, victory! Thanks eUSA! Go Altlantis! Ignore Zoli is a peace soldier and is nervous because he lose AGAIN 😁
Do not talk nor listen to "Zoli" he is a hungarian who lives in Romania and he is from PEACE. He is known to lie a lot and make people wonder about their decisions, he also use intrigues in his comments in the ATLANTIS article.
HAIL USA and thx for your help, we couldn't have done it with out you and our allies!!! HAIL ATLANTIS
Yea scrabman, u do know we kinda love you guys anyhow, dont you? 😛 The marines are 'fo' real', indeed 🙂

"Andhra Pradesh has been occupied by Romania."
😃
Sorry sukoidha. I got distracted while putting them in there I guess! LOL. I'll fix it.
Great article Scrabman
On the upside of me not being in congress, if you need any help I should have 200% more time on my handsq
US Marines surely rock!Thx Lucius for your help last time 😉
"Andhra Pradesh has been occupied by Romania."
...and the beat goes on...
And the best thing of all:
These Generals are on their way to Field Marshall. No matter how long the trek takes, they will reach it by not only helping our allies defeat our enemies, but by doing so in a fairly inexpensive manner when compared to how countries previous used to train up their best (entire war declarations / battles).
Before anyone knows it, the eUS may become a nation with more Field Marshall-ranked soldiers than any other. We're then have to rename the eMarines. How about "The Spartans"? 😃
Semper Fi
Jewron you're a fool.
The eSpartans. 😑
:3
pyroelectricity: I'll thank you not to make disparaging comments about my soldiers, or any other soldier of this country. Besides the disrespect you show, it's a little ludicrous coming from someone with a battle rank of Lieutenant. You've got very little place to criticize anyone's combat effectiveness, considering how long you've been around.
-Col. Koeth, 2nd Army (CENT)
Excellent points Jewron! And we're using 100% real gold to do it! Not to mention that we're getting more and more Generals each day thanks to the War Games. We're moving up there.
For the record, Jewron is my org 😉
Does anyone know the requirements for joining the marines? Also, great job Marines 🙂
YAHOO! Awesome job Marines.
Semper Fi, Marines.
requirement for the Marines is min 8 str and Lieutant rank
If the marines are looking for some exercise - there's a real RW down in Africa in Kwazulu-Natal AGAINST the Indo's! They need all the help they can get!
How do you enlist in the eUSA Marines?
Message the eUSA Marines org and then you we will send you an application form.
Excellent job, Marines! It says something about the quality of a fight when the leaders want to join in themselves.
I have no feelings on the accent of the USA, but in RL there are so many more interesting countries
South Africa fights for its freedom!
