Why U.S. Marines Are Called Leathernecks

from The Zadzura Brief · host John P. Zadzura

America’s first Marines didn’t fight on land…They fought pirates on burning ships — face to face, blade to blade.No cover. No retreat.To survive, they wore a leather collar around their neck — protection in close combat.That’s how the name Leathernecks was born.From the Barbary Wars to Tripoli… to today — same mindset.First in. Last out. No hesitation.📁 Follow The Zadzura Brief
