The Bainbridge Band of Brothers is your typical gung-ho group of Marines. They are diverse, proud, eclectic, dashing, gritty, argumentative, exuberant, swaggering and staggering. They drink, swear, curse, exaggerate, boast and even fight. They are honorable, respectful, patriotic and secure—but with bigger vocabularies.
