What are the nicknames for US Marines?

Answer 1

TeufelHunde in German, or in English, Devil Dog.

A head banging tribute to the fierce fighting style of the U.S. Marines. The title "Teufelhunden" translates into "Devil Dogs", and it is the nickname German soldiers gave to Marines during the battle of Belleau Wood in 1918 by an offical report. Ever since, the nickname Devil Dog has been common in the United States Marine Corps.

Answer 2

The most common nicknames for US Marines are "Devil Dog", "Leatherneck", "Jarhead", and "Marine." DevilDog comes from the German "Teufelhunden," or how the German survivors of WW1's vicious fight at Belleau Wood described them. "Leatherneck" comes from the leather collars worn by the Marines fighting on the Navy ships during the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 to protect themselves during sword fighting. The most commonly used nickname remains "Marine", as it is typical for one Marine to address another accordingly. "Goof morning Marine; today we're going to..."
