Marine Corps Gazette
Inside This Month's Gazette
I must admit that the tone of your last letter surprised me. The “maneuverists” may have recently celebrated the 20th anniversary since Fleet Marine Force Manual 1, Warfighting, was published, but you should ask yourself, what have they truly gained?
Just three weeks away and there was still no approval from Washington for the Marines to land at Inchon on 15 September 1950. General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, determined to beat down the opposition to the landing, called a conference for late in the day, 23 August, at his headquarters in the Dai Ichi building in Tokyo.
“America is not at war. Marines are at war while America is at the mall.” This is the solemn refrain of Marines who have been in the thick of the fight for nearly 9 years.

Of Professional Interest
The Gazette extends thanks to Henry E. Wold for making this booklet available.
Leadership instruction has changed significantly over the past 60 years. The following guidelines were published in a small booklet format at Quantico in August 1943. They outline 93 things that Marine officers of World War II should not do. Many of them seem to stand as good advice even today.
