Keep Buggering On S2-E2: "Retreat, Hell!" — Belleau Wood, Boots, and the Ground You're Already Standing On
June 1918. Belleau Wood. The Germans are fifty miles from Paris, the French line is folding, and a brand-new brigade of American Marines is told to fall back with everyone else. Captain Lloyd Williams says six words instead — "Retreat, hell! We just got here!" — and dies nine days later making sure they were true. We checked. The Marine Corps' own history division can't even agree on who really said it. This episode also covers: an accidentally-claimed substitute teaching shift at a high school with its own bridges (two of them) and its own police officer, a lockdown survived largely on the strength of a good pair of boots, and why nobody quits at the turn on hole five. Accurate. Absurd. Affectionate. Wear the mindset — k-b-o-standardsupplyllc.com.
