What does the quote Retreat hell - We're attacking in a different direction?
The phrase "retreat hell!" was first used in WW1 by USMC Capt. Lloyd Williams. When asked to retreat he sent back a message saying "Retreat? Hell just got here." The particular phrase "Retreat, Hell! We're attacking in a different direction was used sarcastically during the Korean War, when an American USMC General O.P. Smith was questioned why he appeared to be withdrawing, during the Chosin Reservoir, to the best of my knowledge. Marines don't retreat. "Retreat, hell! We're attacking in a different direction!"
