I have a certain respect for all who where lost in Japan, the Marine Raiders where deployed to defend America in Japan after the attack on Pearl harbour.

If Will decides to make them I think he should look vaguely like this

So I have scoured Bricklink searching for a look wich is just right

Good Camo Head
This Bag
This torso to use only for the base of a custom
Sand green Legs
And this hair in black

In his backpack he should have two ammo clips and he should carry an M1 Garand Rifle with monopod and an M1911 .45 Pistol as a side arm

And if Will likes the sound of this then he should be made with the Marine Raiders Insignia

The torso is not accurate to the real one, maybe just a decal.

War is instinct, man has fought and killed as far back as there were men. Instinct to see a threat and kill it. We fight from when we are toddlers up to when we die. You see humans HAVE to fight, or no progress would ever be made.

I am all for this idea, but, if you have those parts, could you show a pic of him built?

I have a prototype of what I think he should look like, search for WWII Marine Raider in the Minifig section

I think a Marine Raider would be cool. He could have a Thompson instead of the Garand, or he could have the Garand and the Thompson, either works.

Isn't there already a thread, here? (P.S, that one was started earlier in 2008) :).

[MOD - Comparing thread dates, sarge's one predates Socom_Tom95's, as Axis & Allies correctly pointed out. As such, I'd like everyone to redirect their discussion there. Thanks :)
