I've been trying to find the U.S. Marine history about their expedition in TRIPOLI but could not find them. ( They were sent there by Washington? or Jeffersonto fight the mouszzies who are harassing the American traders...Hence it was in the Marine hymnn
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marines

Hath**** had the longest sniper kill for a long time.
2,500 yards away
He used a .50 cal machine gun
It didn't get broken til like 50 yrs later in Afghanistan
But these guys used modern, precision sniper rifles in .338 and .50
Hath**** just had an old ma deuce he put a scope on.

That's how the marines adopted their mameluke sword.
After a battle, an ottoman sultan gave a mameluke sword to the marine commander.
