A Chesty story: A Republic of Korea Army commander colocated with a US Marines commander called Chesty Puller to report a Chinese push.

Puller: "How many Chinese are attacking you?"

ROKA: "Many, many Chinese!"

Chesty asked for another count and got the same .

"Put my Marine liaison officer on the radio."

Up came the Marine lieutenant: "Yes sir?"

Chesty: "Lieutenant, exactly how many Chinese you got up there?"

LNO: "Colonel, we got a whole (expletive deleted) of Chinese up here!"

Chesty: "Thank God! At least there's someone up there who knows how to count!"
