19. I was in the outfit in which "Semper Fidelis" was the motto.
Which we inmates referred to as "The Suck".

21. Of course, but for the rest it means always loyal
as I said, the US military loves its latin

Now in this case it is sometimes translated to death to tyrants, not precisely correct...

22. "Always Faithful".
Which, considering the number of my married comrades who were prey to the temptations of naughty ladies, is hardly representative of the inclinations of those wearing the uniform. Unless things have changed since I joyfully walked out
the Main Gate for the last time.

25. Why I said loosely translated :-)
usually it was said as a tyrant was thrown to his death.
