gimmie that good 'ol marine corps spirit!

I've always found it weird that the Soviet Red Army also did the "oo rah" thing. It's even weirder that "gung ho" is Mandarin for "pull together" and started out as a slogan for the Chinese Communist Party before migrating to the Marine Corps via Evans Carlson in WWII.
