He states in his article, "It is the job of a Royal Marine to fight, and if necessary suffer and die, for his country."

He must not have seen "Patton." At the beginning, George C. Scott, speaking of soldiers in combat, said something to the effect that it was not the job of a soldier to die for his country. Rather it was his job to make the other poor bastard die for his country.

You can find the exact quote on the Internets, I am sure. Try the Google, or:

Patton
