It aggravates me too that the players couldn’t wait just a few more minutes til the Marines were done
Exactly….it’s disrespectful 🤨
It does aggravate me and is so disrespectful to the men and women who serve and protect us for our freedom. The players should have waited.
The players play. The Devil Dogs kill.
Agreed
Exactly!!! Disrespectful
yea, i don't know why they couldn't have stayed more on the sides till the show ended. not sure who's decision it was to let them take the field again, but I agree it was in poor taste, and it made the players look disrespectful.
Representing the beloved Corps most professionally.
Semper Fi
I'm a Marine veteran and I do watch the silent drill team whenever I get a chance. Every single time I watch them a Marine loses his cover, (hat). Every single time. It must be part of the performance.
I think it adds a certain touch of camaraderie. I like it.
I haven't seen many but I was thinking it looked intentional.
I was thinking 💭 and wondering that! Because I loved watching the other Marine carefully place it back on. ❤
I've only caught the event live once at the War Memorial, and it was in 2002, but they didn't drop a cover, lol.
Oh really?! Interesting! I noticed one hat was off center in the beginning.. I'm wondering if it was the same Marine.
Absolute respect!
They put in countless hours to perfect their craft, only gross negligence can lead to mistakes that’s why when it comes to my Marine brothers & sisters they are among the best disciplined service members in thee entire world!
The Army's Honor Guard is stationed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in DC. They have high polished chrome M-14 rifles with bayonets (with loaded magazines at the ready, btw) and they do drills similar to this all day and night in all weather. There's a video of one guy who accidentally got stabbed through the foot, but he continues his ritual, with blood bubbling out of the top and sole of his shoe. They are as serious and hard core as the Royal Guards in London. If you disrupt their ritual, you will get your ass torn up and might get a rifle aimed at you while they're yelling at you at full volume in front of hundreds of other tourists. Watching them in person, surrounded by thousands of graves at Arlington full of American (and some allies) gets you inside and makes you appreciate what those guys did for us, and not just "us" as Americans, but "us" as in everyone in the world.
They’re stationed at the marine barracks at 8th & I streets in DC and you can go see them every Friday night in the summer for free!
Yea I have yet to see it personally but I want to.
I think the two football teams disrespected the drill team by not waiting for the drill team to finish their performance before coming on the field. Shame on the NFL!!
Marines are the best. They deserve more respect than they were shown here.
Yeah, those players most DEFINITELY should have waited another ten bloody minutes for the drill to end.
But that also points out that laser focus on the Marines, as well- all this shit going on nearby, and not a twitch out of place.
Mind you, this is how ALL Marines are trained- to focus on the job at hand. Protecting the White House, drilling the new recruits, or sorting reports in the Commandant's Office at Marine HQ. No job too small, you give it all your attention.
When I lived in Washington DC back in the day, we would occasionally go see this team and the band perform the Friday evening parade at the “old” Marine Barracks. At least back then it was open to the public and you could just go. It was quite the experience. Some might try to dismiss them as mere “poster boys” but the discipline, dedication, skill, and pride those men exuded was inspirational.
They should allow the Marines to take a shot at the players on the field lol
The weird looking thing is an aerial camera for the football game. The arms attach to suspension cables that move the camera by pulling on it.
has a gimbal looks like matrix machine
My cousin is a retired marine. They are some of the craziest roughest toughest men you will ever meet!
I have a lot of experience with the M1, they're great rifles and balanced well but they are heavy. I've shot one handed with them before - it's not fun.
They're called the silent drill platoon because they're a platoon. Each line is a separate squad. 8 per squad and 4 per fire team. The corporal without a rifle is probably the senior non commissioned officer. The guy with the sword is the commanding officer. There have been injuries but not as many as you'd expect. They practice the movements until they can't get it wrong - most people practice until they get it right.
The bayonets are probably dull. Bayonets are supposed to be dull because a tearing wound is more difficult to treat and takes a longer time to recover then a simple slice. In ww2 a lot of US soldiers did sharpen them - but found that they lost their edge relatively fast.
The lost hat was a part of the drill which in meaning is the "steadfast loyalty to the fellow Marines". Regarding the people on the field demonstrates the precision, discipline and leadership of the Marine Corps. The Marine Core Values are Honor, Courage and Commitment.
It aggravated thousands of people across America too. So disrespectful.
The way the crowd cheers @ 7:11- that’s the WHO and WHAT we Americans are at our core. Not perfect, but we want to help others and never leave anyone behind. 🇺🇸
On the lost or dropped cover moment, it does happen from time to time, especially with a combination of Summer sweat and the violent movements of a spinning rifle. Some things you just can't control for.
For those wondering why he doesn't skitter over and pick it up, or why he doesn't fix it while it slowly slips off his head, this would be considered losing your bearing or a breach of discipline...which a Marine is NOT ALLOWED TO DO! lol
If a Marine screws up during drill, like turning the wrong way during a facing movement, they are instructed to keep discipline and WAIT FOR THE COMMANDING OFFICER'S INSTRUCTIONS to correct themselves. No extra movements, no shifting around. The Marine in error will hear something like, "THE COMMAND WAS LEFT FACE! CORRECT YOURSELF!" from the officer and then act accordingly.
Likewise, the...unfortunate soul who has his cover fall off or even get swatted off his head is not allowed to go chasing after it himself, only to keep his bearing and do no extra movements.
Yeah, I kinda like it when it happens on the field, as it demonstrates something of a testament to how disciplined the Marine in question really is. Hopefully it's planned or just accepted as a thing that can happen and is taken in stride.
A similar thing happened during a performance in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The witnessing Admiral gave a broad smile and a proud nod, seeing the platoon's rifle inspection officer recover and replace the dropped cover(hat) on the Marine's head.
It seems a common enough occurrence and I like seeing it as a trial passed, rather than just a mistake. That being said, if it ain't planned for...I'd hate to be in that guy's shoes, lol.
I don't know about the silent drill team, but in boot camp, we were taught to count the cadence in our heads
NOBODY is keeping time for these great men. they are just SYNCED UP
I was thinking the same thing… left … right …. Left ….
Right 😂
That crap was drilled into my head in civil air patrol.
i'm glad it wasn't just me
The disrespect the players show toward our military on this field is so upsetting. They should have waited. These men are soldiers. Marines. Active duty. Ready to fight for and uphold our Constitution. Our Freedom. Shame on them. 😢
Please don’t call a marine a soldier. Soldiers are army.
Love these guys! Big, beautiful, patriots.
There is a video of this done in a gymnasium. You can hear the rifles striking the floor and being slapped by their hands. Much more satisfying.
I love your reactions! Their so genuine and funny. I’ve followed your channel for a little while, and your very nice and outgoing…not grumpy 😂
San Antonio over here and very very proud as HELL of being a Texan plus American everyday
That was very interesting. Can only imagine the amount of hours they have to practice to be so perfect.
Thanks for sharing. Love your reactions to spinning rifles with bayonets.
In high school, I was flag 🚩 and rifle captain in the marching band. I can tell you first hand this is sooooo impressive. It's hard enough to do with music and takes tons of practice, discipline, skill, and patience. This was absolutely stunning and bloody brilliant. ❤ Not comparing 100% but from my experience, marching on a field twirling and throwing wooden rifles and long flags in the air, (sometimes 2 flags) I know the difficulty, and this is on a whole different level.
I wasn't gonna watch this video but after seeing that picture of the host in absolute utter, sheer, awe with his mouth wide open, i just HAD to click play!
The organizers of this halftime are idiots for allowing the players to come back on the field while these gentlemen are still performing. It’s still phenomenal to see. Long live the Marines.
dropped hat was what they would do in that situation. so it is part of the show. Same as Queens Guard passing out - there is a protocol in the spirit of Keep Calm - Carry On.
yeah pretty cool, the whole thing i loved it tbh! and also thank you for becoming a member!! ❤️
The thing on the field you were wondering about is called a Skycam
Correct. It is on wires and is remotely controlled.
I was annoyed by the players at first, but then I started to feel like their presence acted as a foil and highlighted how focused the platoon was
Best reaction ever 😂 ❤from Louisiana
The camera is called the spider and it works similarly to the old etch a sketch toys in the sense of it be pulled around via wires and winches allowing the camera to view the entire field
I was amazed.... BY THE SKY CAM. Made my day.
I am a marine corp veteran and you learn real quick in boot camp and other training how to be disciplined.
When I was in the Marine Corps, this was my unit, and one of my close friends stabbed himself in the femoral artery during a Friday night parade. He was unable to catch the rifle when doing one of the movements and was taken off the parade deck by the highest enlisted Officer in the Marine Corps, SGTMAJ. Black. He was rushed to the hospital and stayed there for a few days. If he wasn’t taken off that parade deck, he might have passed out and on the parade deckduring the performance. He told me wasn’t going to leave because he thought he could push through it. This happened before my very eyes. To this day his pants are hung in the hallway of the Barracks along with the shirt of another Marine from the 1980s, who also got stabbed during one of these parades. His nickname was Tech. This happened in 2020.
In America, big sporting events like college and pro use government military drills teams and platoons because the military wants to use the large events as a means to recruit potential recruits.
Not sure if anymore mentioned this. But if you pay close attention. Right before the the rifle flipping/tossing portion the marines sheath there bayonets. They are very skilled and do it seamlessly. Hopefully that makes you feel a bitter better about them not actually cutting each other. They return the bayonets at the end before they March off.
By the way, if you look closely, the bayonets had been removed from the guns that were thrown between the marines (they were put into holders at their sides.. There is a much better video if you look these guys up. It is done inside with close up action being shown and the sound was super cool. I did read somewhere where the hat being knocked off was a part of the program. I also was not impressed with the football players, it was a problem with time constraints.
It's all part of the show
😂😂😂😂😂 you’re one sick puppy! Chase them!! Chase them!! You crack me up. I love watching the idea bubbles popping over your head. Comprehension! Sweet. Have an awesome day. 😊😊😊
The players coming on field was mad disrespectful
You can react to watching the behind the scenes video of The US marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon also on RUclips.
Those football players needed to wait till the drill was finished instead of running around and showing disrespect. The man who picked up the hat had to wait a little to put the hat onto the soldier or else he could get injured and breaking formation.
I was in a Drill Team when I was in high school same rifles but obviously no bayonet. So many injuries during practice trying to spin and throw rifles to each other.
I auditioned for Silent Drill and made it. But I was a half inch too short
You should watch the one with sound. Its crazy. Ive seen them live and its mesmerizing
Its a camera on a rigging system that glides just above the players
Bearing is more important than keeping your cover on. They probably gave him shit for dropping it but he kept his bearing as if nothing happened and that’s what matters.
Always amazing to watch. As to the players behind them.... the only thing, regrettably, that I can say is that this is the U.S. and nothing gets in the way of Football. The only two things I am aware of that have stopped Football in any way are strikes by players, and the Covid Pandemic. I guess despite the drill, the players have to be ready to immediately start the game, even if it is distracting. Cheers!
Inside camera that is mounted above the stadium they use it to film the place
Agree with many others-- if they're going to invite the silent drill platoon to perform, give them the respect of keeping the f*cking players off the field until they're done. Otherwise, very cool!
He actually removed bayonet prior to marine stopping in front.
@4:00 that looks like the sky cam. It doesn't actually fly. It is suspended by wires over the field and can go just about anywhere over the field. They have them at all nfl games. Not sure how prevalent they are in college.
Stops the video to geek out about the crane camera. It's used to track the action of the game.
The Cover on the floor is on purpose... they sometimes do it to the new guys to mess with them. At least they used to.
That's why we call them 'jar heads'.
@7:02 --> looks like somebody's cleaning the toilet w/a toothbrush later...😂😂😂
I do love watching your videos
a bit of perspective, i owned a M1 Garand the weight is no joke compared to the M16.
What should have happened was players stay off the field til Marines exit AAAND they are still given their normal allotted time to warm up before the 2nd half kicks off. My guess is that the 2nd half of the equation wasnt gonna happen, shame on the NFL as a whole for putting players in that position to either look like jerks or miss their warm up before the game resumes in what could be an important game for either team (don't know when in the season this took place).
The camera is attached to bunch of cable that adjust in every direction
Thank you for reacting to the Silent Drill Platoon. This video, while not terrible, wasn't as good as the one I'm going to link here. The one on the link provided here is done in a gym at a high school. The main difference is that you can hear the "snap and pop" of the rifles and that really adds to the performance.This is a much better video. ruclips.net/video/WUYbbTHf4dw/видео.html
Yeah, that was straight up disrespectful
You know, the guy that lost his hat is going to be in a lot of trouble😮😂😂😂😂😂
Oh one of them is from San Antonio, Texas? Like ME! I'm from San Antonio
Dude you lump out videos like crazy. Been binging you lately.
You think that's crazy.. I miss playing taser hot potato. (Tapping the button down and tossing it to each other)
The hat drop is part of it...I am sure
I am going 1, 2...1,2 in my head!
Naw bro the NFL does have flying cameras. It’s a SkyCam, it doesn’t actually fly though.
I like you, L3WG and I know you are doing a reaction video and that's cool....
But sometimes, when it comes to watching The Silent Drill Platoon.....
Out of respect to them, you watch and don't interrupt! Ater you have watched them, THEN you can go back through the video and react.
If you noticed, the stadium crowd was also silent as well except for small breaks in between.
That is out of pure respect!
And don't worry about what's going on around them....
Focus on them or you will miss something.
This was the rifle inspection performance. The Sargeant inspected two rifles for cleanliness and usability along with the soldiers cleanliness. Even that is a show all its own.
There are other videos of them doing some crazy insane cool things!
Watch them without stopping and you will understand them even more.
Also, you should watch the changing of the guard at The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier.
It is also an inspection during the changing of the guards. And for the soldiers standing guard, there is probably not a more honorable watchstand in the entire military than there is to guard The Tomb! They take that position incredibly serious!
Even of you are just a tourist....YOU DO NOT WANT TO CROSS THEM AND PISS THEM PISS THEM OFF!!!
They will without a doubt.... defend that tomb!
So if you ever go to Washington D.C. and see The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier....
Keep a respectful distance and enjoy!
CHEERS!
I believe that’s a camera drone.
Dope
This vid is okay HOWEVER you do not get the sound! The sound of the butt of the weapon contacting a hardwood floor. There is a video where the silent drill team is performing indoors on a basketball court. Ya gotta react to this one. 100% better experience.
They are at NRG stadium, home of the Houston Texans. That's a bull head
They actually drop the cover on purpose to show discipline
Its a camera on a wire filmong the performance.
3:55 does british soccer stadiums not use skycams that travel suspended on wires?
What massive disrespect by the players!
I'm American; And it was extremely disrespectful to be on the field (excl. camera crew) with the Marines. Yes, to a part 2: 'The NFL vs. MARINES with bayonets' - BALLS vs BLADES!
If you are interested in more U.S. football performance reaction video topics, check out singer Whitney Houston singing the U.S. National Anthem at Super Bowl 1991 as the U.S. had just entered the Gulf War. Although she has since passed away, she is still a national treasure and sang the anthem in a way that cannot ever be replicated.
I agree w/@chnalvr-watch 'Whitney Houston - National Anthem (Star Spangled Banner) 4K song Remastered. Also, the best Super Bowl halftime shows ever.
❤
AiirSource Military has an awesome air force honor guard performance with A LOT of rotating bayonets.
Total disrespect that the players were on field. I agree, they should have turned and chased the players berserker style.
We all thought it..disrectful
They must be on some kind of count...
11:05 because they don't know proper respect
Those football those players were so disrespectful. Ticks me off so bad.
If you haven't done one yet, you need a reaction (or two) for the American Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. If you liked this, you'll enjoy those.
Rah
Very disrespectful of the players coming on the field.
The Royal Guard was also impressive as I watched to honor your Queen. That’s some serious discipline.
So disrespectful of players to be on the field while they perform their routine. They should be in the sidelines until they are done. Smh
It’s mad disrespectful for those players to be out there. I’m sure there was some reason, but it’s super disrespectful.
He dropped his cover and let it just lay on the ground, didn’t miss a beat.👏Having done rifle drill myself I can tell you it takes incredible focus to ignore a mishap like that and continue unflinching. Without your cover (headgear/hat) you stand out from the rest (big no-no) AND now it’s on the ground in the way of the drill. If you gotta step on it, you just do🤷♀️
Ps. SO F’ING DISRESPECTFUL of the players and trainers to be out there while the Marines were still drilling.
They have a television schedule to keep, that's why they were taking to field. They ran long because the hat fell off. They would have taken the field just as they were leaving.
If you like military drills, you should REALLY check out the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, especially changing of the guard! Here's a link to a video: ruclips.net/video/vqZ-mkdp1H0/видео.html
Also, look into the military unit that guards the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It's CRAZY the training they go through and the regulations they have to observe. It's considered a high honor to be part of that guard.
