Did the U.S. Marines really muster out washouts in baby blue suits during World War 2?

Yes. They had failed to become Marines and therefore were not entitled to wear the uniform of a Marine, and their civilian clothes were sent home when they arrived at Basic. There was a 1976 movie, "Baby Blue Marine", starring Jan Micheal Vincent which explored the practice.

Why is it called cutting the mustard?
In the military, we "cut a muster sheet," meaning that we take a count of all present personnel and make sure that everyone is "present or accounted for." You "muster" your troops to engage in battle or an exercise. When someone doesn't "cut the muster," then they are not fit for duty, or the task at hand. This phrase has been corrupted to "cut the mustard," which really makes no sense at all. "Cut the muster" is the correct phrase.

Did the USMC participate in the European Campaign during World War 2?
Only in very small numbers. ANSWER The above answer doesn't really say much, and this one may not either, but there is very little that can be found regarding the Marines fighting in Europe during WWII. One campaign early on in the war took place on Iceland in July 1939 when the 1st Marine Brigade landed to defend Iceland against German attack. They remained there until March of 1940 when they were relieved by the US Army. There were also Marines on American embassy duty in London during the war. There were also individual Marines with special skills (mostly in the communciation field and intelligence -specifically the OSS) assigned to other units within the European theater and in Africa. But as far as a division of Marines fighting along side the army in the European theater, that did not happen.
