US Marines are called "Jarheads", "Leathernecks", and "DevilDogs", while US Army soldiers are commonly referred to as "Doggies", "Dogfaces," and "GI's." The term "DevilDog" or "Teufelhunden" was given to the Marines by the German survivors of WW1's vicious battle of Belleau Wood", where the Marines stopped the German advance only 70 miles short of Paris and then spearheaded the Allied advance into Germany.
