Description
The gripping story of an extraordinary American hero, the most decorated man in US Marine Corps history, from a New York Times best-selling author.
In the glorious chronicles of the US Marine Corps, no name is more revered than that of Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller. The only fighting man to receive the Navy Cross five separate times - a military honor second only to the Congressional Medal of Honor - he was the epitome of a professional warrior. A son of the South, descendant of Robert E. Lee, and cousin to George S. Patton, Puller began his enlisted career during World War I and moved up through the ranks as he proved his battlefield mettle in Haiti and Nicaragua, with the Horse Marines in Peking, in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and in the nightmarish winter engagements of the Korean War.
Fearless and seemingly indestructible, adored by the troops he championed yet forced into early retirement by a high command that resented his "lowly" beginnings and unwillingness to play politics, Puller remains one of most towering figures in American military history. Bestselling military biographer Burke Davis paints the definitive portrait of this extraordinary marine hero.

A Fine Historical Bio
General Puller's career is almost too good to believe. A marine of incredible courage and self belief. I have no idea how he spoke in real life but the performer either took it upon himself or was directed to growl out Puller's words in parade ground gungo-ho.
It was notable that during long speaches the growl seemed more subdued. My opinion is that had all his coversations been in the "subdued" mode the listener would have had a more pleasurable experience.
Although being a distraction it could not however diminish the story of a great marine.
