[QUOTE=What Exit?]  
What time periods are the Marines? In 1840, I bet on the Hawaiians. Modern day Marines with full combat gear vs. any historical Hawaiian warrior nation, my money is on the Marines.

I would even bet on the Hawaiians against 1970 Marines as the IR gear and advance communications equipment is lacking in the Vietnam era.

How about Bugs Bunny vs. Heckle and Jeckle?

1. Those 112 Marines took over Hawaii without firing a shot(!) They did so at the behest of some Hawaiian citizens (not Americans, contrary to popular belief). They didn’t even put up a fight, but the queen did write a strongly-worded letter to the President. :smack:

Not a particularly popular thing to bring up with overly-macho Hawaiians out here.
