I mean no disrespect to a great unit, but they were the subject of the mocking song "Bugout Boogie" after the Chinese attack that cut the Marines off at Chosin. It was sung to the popular Hank Snow tune "Movin' On."
"A million Ch*nks comin' down the pass
Playin' the burp gun boogie on a doggie's a$$
They're movin' on, they'll soon be gone."
"Listen to the patter of running feet,
It's the old First Cav in full retreat,
They're movin' on, they'll soon be gone."
