The Great Santini was a movie [moving picture show] about a marine corps family starring robert duvall as Lt.Col. Santini USMC.
a great line from that movie was "marine kids eat nails and spit fire!" i almost laughed off of my chair when i watched that movie on one of the TV networks. i used to chaperone dances where marine kids used to go to dance at high school. the Naval Command always drafted officers and parents to do the chaperoning.
marine kids really do eat nails and spit fire. i saw it with my own eyes. God bless them all.
