In recent years, Norris’ popularity has surged with Marines. Leathernecks worldwide have been known to cite satirical Chuck Norris “facts” — unconfirmed and exaggerated declarations about the newest Honorary Marine along the lines of “There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.”
“The thing that is so engaging about Chuck Norris is that he’s so straightforward,” said Col. Frank McKenzie, military secretary for the Commandant said. “There’s no artifice about him. He represents a lot of values Marines value.He’s been very active in support of our wounded warriors.” Norris also recently took a trip to Iraq with Assistant Commandant Gen. Robert Magnus, which was considered one of the best-received visits to date, McKenzie said. “The Marines were ecstatic.”
"I suspect the Corps gave the Marine title to Chuck out of fear..." said Lt.Col. "Whopper" Creedon, an officer whom also has had many exaggerated facts written about him. "... fear of getting a roundhouse kick in the face."

What a laugh.
The guys too slow and too old. He's an old fart.
Can't act either!
@ Anon: Oh you better stay anonymous. Men have died for suggesting less about Chuck. I see a roundhouse kick in the head in your near future...
What crap - Marines are estactic. This is a gimmick - when we least need gimmicks. There are thousands of Marines and families serving - why not take the time out and recognize them.
