20 years in the corps here. If I had to relive my life over again, i would definitely do it over. God bless the USA and all lovers of freedom.
As an American THANK YOU with all my heart! Thank you!!

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!” Eleanor Roosevelt
I can't think of a better description. Lady knew what she was talking about.
Eleanor was one of our few great First Ladies, worthy of all praise. Indomitable would be a good word to describe her. She would be much happier doing aerial barrel rolls with the Air Force pilots than sitting in a dusty parlor doing needlework with the rest of the ladies.
To quote the Fat Electrician, "How much do you want to bet that one marine turned to his buddy and said, "I'd hit that."
@@veramae4098 yeah im glad you mofos werent on my ship in desert storm. Lol . Love ya guys.
USMC Veteran here, and we've always had the sentiment- "They might kill us, but they'll never defeat us!"
We're a special sort of deranged...
;-)
Every Marine must Qualify at the Range (Rifles), as at LEAST a 'Marksman' in accuracy. From Marksman to Sharpshooter, then 'Expert' are the three levels of skill. All will kill out to 500 yards, using iron sights (When I was in Boot/Active. We NEVER had the option to use optics in Boot, so this is a new development)...
My Dad is a “former” Marine. (Once a Marine, always a Marine). Back when my Dad was in boot camp, he shot better than the instructor so the instructor took him out for a BigMac. He was taught by my PawPaw, who was ALSO a Marine. 😂 My dad and his 2 brothers were all 3rd gen Marines. My Dad ended up being a DI on Parris Island back in the early 80’s. 😂
@@laurenlee3632
WOW!!!
I too hail from a military family with histories (On both sides of my parents/grandparents), going all the way back to the Revolutionary War in America (And I'm certain still further, but I haven't made it that far down the genealogy tree yet!).
Papa was a Marine, two of my three older brothers are Marines (The middle choose the Army, and we still give him shit over that!), and I, being the youngest of four and only daughter, also became a Marine.
My Boot was on 'The Island' in the mid 80's. I wonder if I saw/crossed paths with your Father? (Wouldn't that be weird, out-of-the-blue like that, so many decades later?).
We had three WM D.I.'s, but our 'Senior' was male. While he never stayed overnight in the barracks with us female Recruits, he was there EVERY morning at reveille, either hurling those metal garbage cans down the aisle, or striding up-and-down them, beating the crap out of the one he was holding!
Ah, such fond memories!
;-)
Papa began teaching me about firearms, how to shoot, from the age of '4'... Yes, 'Four.' I started out with a wooden rifle and pistol, (Still have 'em!), and had to carry/store/pretend to operate with them until he was certain I was serious and was taking the responsibility seriously. I was, am, and always will!
So yeah, I was already taught and 2nd Phase/Rifle drills/Range time for me was a breeze. We didn't have optics back then. It was ALL iron sights, which I still prefer (Unless I'm reaching WAY out and going for utter accuracy. Then, I'll use an optic (My aging eyes).)
Nice meeting ya, and loved reading about your own experience/family!
Be Well and take good care! We do in fact live in 'Interesting times!'
😀
Long Live Chesty

Oorah!!!
Iron sights! TBS Class of 83 :-)
My husband is an old Marine. He doesn’t stop doing what needs doing even if he’s exhausted and in pain. However, I was not a US Marine and I quit long before he does! Thank God for the United State’s Marine Corps! ♥️🇺🇸♥️
I am the same way, to my detriment.
Thank him for his Service.
does he have trouble sleeping?
or has he lost any humanity he had left?
@@sabin97He used to have trouble sleeping, but not any longer. ♥️🇺🇸

USAF Veteran here. Last duty assignment was the 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW), Alexandria, Louisiana. At the time, it was the home of the infamous “Flying Tigers”. The only reason I’m chiming in, is because I know that Boots-on-the-ground appreciated the A-10’s during Desert Storm and later engagements.
Thank you for your Service.
Your reaction to the vertical takeoff was hilarious but would you believe me if I told you that that is old technology for us
Europe has had it for longer than the US. First VTOL fixed wing was developed in 1958 in the UK, and the UK also produced the first truly viable VTOL fixed wing fighter aircraft, the Harrier jump jet.
I love those planes. I got to see one take off in person at an airshow when I was a kid. I thought it looked like a mosquito.😅
@@Kyle-km8mv That's a cute innovation of an American invention, huh?
@@jishani1
You can call it whatever you want, but the definitive origin of working VTOL is European, both the initial prototype and the first viable production aircraft.
Like 1980s old.
Best decision I made was joining the U.S. Marines. The second best decision I made was getting the hell out of the U.S Marines.
LOL
Thank you for your Service.
Fuckin rah brother
Oorah!! Thanks for highlighting my beloved Corps! I served in the late 80’s repairing avionics in those helicopters. One of my sons is presently serving in the Marines somewhere in the far east.
Widow of HMM 365, Jacksonville, NC, saying, Hi!, and thank you for your service! 😊
Thank you for your service! And be sure to thank your son for HIS service! It's a touchy subject for me because my brother fought in the Army in Vietnam back in the late 60's and early 70's. He was a Huey mechanic. He liked working on machines and our father was in the Army in WWII. When his tour was done and he got off that plane in California...there was a HUGE crowd waiting there, not to welcome him home, not with kind words and pride...but to throw rotten fruit at him and to yell horrible names and nasty words. That was HIS reward for fighting for his country. Then he switched planes to take him the rest of the way home to Portland Oregon...he got the SAME greeting waiting for him at the Portland airport. I hope the people that were apart of that are horribly ashamed of themselves today for what they did. It still bothers him today. Every time I talk to him, I thank him again and again for his service and tell him how proud I am of him.
@@LoriLynch-bt8tj That’s just awful. Of course I’m too young to remember that, but I have studied what servicemen were put through coming home from Viet Nam and it was horrible and undeserved. Please Lori, look up “Honor Flight Network” online. It’s an organization that gives vets a flight to DC to view their memorial, treats them like royalty, and gives them a hero’s welcome upon their return flight home. It sounds like your brother deserves it. My homecoming from Saudi Arabia in ‘91 was quite different. Our first stop was in Bangor, Maine, and we were given nothing short of a hero’s welcome, the concourses of the airport had paths cordoned off and people were literally five deep the entire length of the concourse cheering us on. Honestly we didn’t know how to react, ours was amongst the EASIEST duties of the war having worked in helicopter maintenance aboard a clean, dust free, and air conditioned ship. Our squadron never even flew missions, so we barely had any work to do. Our course I remain grateful to the folks in Bangor for coming out to welcome us home. And I also deeply regret that it was spent on us, and not others who did so much more to earn it. Every adult I discussed this with insisted it was the Americans with a conscience who were tying to make up for the wrongs of the time. Again, check out honor flight network for your brother. And also thank him for me.
Thank you for your Service.
OoRah raaah raaaaah rah raaaah rahh 🖍️🖍️ruhah 🫡
My grandfather fought in WWI at Argonne Forest, France, my father is a Korean War vet, my ex husband was a marine and my son was a marine 5 years and is now in the Army... he has 8-10 more years to retirement.
Thank you parent of Marines wife of a Marine (home special Support) and OORAH for being the descendant of Marines.
I'm a US veteran as well. I'm proud of many foreign militaries as well. We're all the same, really, at least those of us who love peace with freedom.
Jets are transported by US NAVY ships (sorry, son served in the USN. Proud of my beloved, late, father-in-law, served 27 years in the Corps).
The jets on aircraft carriers are CRAZY! Held below decks, wings FOLD, go to the deck via ELEVATOR, etc.!!!
Navy & Corps do work closely together, even though they bicker about who is better.
Many pieces of equipment in the US Armed Forces have top secret capabilities.
We might know much of what they can do, but not details.
Blessings, all.
Hey Navy, we may bicker as families do, however we Marines love our Navy Corpsman.
yep we are family and bicker over who is better but if an outsider comes we have each others back. Marine 93-99
@@biglew1161 Biglew you've got that right! lol, Semper-Fi.
I'm so Proud of all of the Military Men and Women. They keep us free, not our government, but those who fight to keep us free.
I was in the USAF. My experience with the Marines was that everyone of them, from the forward gunner to the cook was a rifleman. Not a bunch of guys that you'd want to mess with
Also, this is a few years out-of-date, as the F35B is already in squadron service with the USMC.
Also the marines don't have tanks anymore.
They do, however, have a nice new amphibious combat vehicle.
All branches are not to be messed with..
I think the best part about the Marines is that once you are A Marine ÿou are always a marine And?
They respect their brothers regardless of age.
Or if they're retired.
That is awesome and set them apart..
US Navy 1971, Vietnam.
US Navy Operations Specialist 2nd Class 1985 to 1995 . Eight years sea duty, four years shore duty as an MP in Yokosuka Japan. One of my skippers was a Riverine boat officer in the Mekong delta . His PBR was sunk and he lost a couple of friends . He PTed with us without a shirt and had battle scars across his chest . One day we were sailing south along the Vietnamese coast and I was plotting our position in CIC . Skipper fixed a bearing from our ship to a point on the coast and ordered both 5 inch guns to bear on a river mouth . Then he stepped onto a small platform off CIC and stared into the distance of the gun line. It was then that I told him that my stepfather had been in the brown water navy in Vietnam and had a NUC for his actions during Operations Beacon Torch , Bear Chain , and Kangaroo Kick . Without breaking his thousand meter stare he said Yeah , we tore up a lot of shit there . I asked him Did you lose something in that river ? He said Yeah , alot . We went back into CIC and he ordered guns midships . He left CIC and we kept sailing . The first time seeing someone experiencing PTSD was my stepfather reacting to fireworks. The second time was on my first ship when a survivor of the USS Stark went off putting out nonexistent fires on midwatch , and my third was on that day at sea . The closest I've come to PTSD is having bad dreams about sailing in the Gulf of Sidra off Libya . We were a radar picket destroyer for an aircraft carrier . We detected Mig fighters , alerted the battle group , and tracked the aircraft. This always occured during midwatch, and after getting off watch we OSs would gather on the mess deck for breakfast and tell the rest of the crew what happened while they were sleeping . Thanks for your service shipmate .
VIETNAM VETS WERE TREATED SO AWFUL WHEN THEY CAME HOME!!! I WAS IN MY TEENS AND IN TOTAL DISBELIEF AND SICKENED AT HOW THEIR OWN COUNTRY REACTED!!! YOU MEN WERE THE BEST OF THE BEST...AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! 🇺🇸
Thank you for your Service.
Afghan vet, wounded retired all they would have to do is just ask to come back and its a ooh rah for me keep up the good work on these videos
Another Marine here. Every Marine is a Rifleman. We all go through combat training, even when our final military fields are different (I was a 6114 helicopter mechanic, Hueys and Cobras). I later went on to work for the USAF and retired from there after 31 years. This is a rather old video and you have probably already been told this but there are no longer tanks in the USMC. Both my RUclips icon and name are from the Marine Corps. "Pappy" is the traditional Marine Corps name for an "old man" in the squadron and was once used by Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, a famous WW2 Marine Corps ace. "Good night Chesty Puller, wherever you are."
Every marine may be a rifleman but it's the US Army always winning the rifle competitions 🤦♂️😂
@@masc2fighter is it the budget?
Rah, I always get that that shit-eating grin when I see brothers and sisters, especially my uncles and aunts ;)
@@masc2fightercan’t shoot at 500 yards. 😆 sit down and stay in your lane.
@@jjs3890 Like I said the US Army almost always be winning the rifle competitions and also every Army Soldier is a Foot Soldier first no different from the Marines... Except the Mariners is nothing but a big cult, and indoctrination program in Boot.
As a Cold War Marine, I am proud of what these kids have done with my Marine Corps. Semper Fi, Leathernecks. OoRAH!
A lot has changed and the current HC and Commandant are dumping a lot of the Corps mid and heavy Armor and arty in the current USMC retro fit. The lesson learned by our brothers from WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, WOT etc are being ignored and forcing Marines to be more heavily reliant on the other branches for CAS and arty than ever before. The Marine Corps learned valuable lessons form the past which is why MEU's, MEF's and MAGTF were put in place giving the Corps the element of self contained fighting force able to take and hold any POS. With this new retro fit they will lose that ability and be at a higher risk of losses not having full time dedicated units who work closely and seamlessly with the infantry and recon elements.
@@jericho1-4 Understood 5 x 5. But consider that the future environment in which our Corps will operate is too cluttered with A3D technology for such large footprint forces to maneuver successfully. I believe that mutually supporting distributed company-sized units is the logical way to go. And the "hit-and-get" raids that would put area access out of the reach of the enemy is a good strategy for the future of our Corps. It has its drawbacks, but Leathernecks have always replaced tech with sweat and blood since our founding. O'Bannon took Derna with only 8 Marines, after all.
Love my Marine brothers and sisters... if you want something dead, destroyed, or pregnant, call the Marines
😂
Truth 😂😂😂❤❤❤Semper fi
Dead, destroyed, or.... pregnant? Hah! So funny!
My Friend served after high school (our senior year was 2001).
He eventually returned to Sam Diego to train more Marines….sad to hear his stories about people drowning during training.
Thankful for all of them
USAF 86th Tactical Fighter Wing, 1975-1979. Best 4 years of my life. Went in as a smart ass kid. Came out as a confident, disciplined young man. Go Air Force!
The Marines have reputation for being excellent marksmen. The Germans were amazed in World War One from how far the Marines could shoot so accurately.
Interesting footnote during the WOT a marine division was investigated for war crimes do to and exceedingly large number of single shot kills to the head of the enemy combatants and was thought to be executing them. They couldn't comprehend that Marines were that accurate with their rifles. Investigation ruled all kills legitimate and no crimes committed making the Army seriously look at their own rifle training practices and review both amount of training and range time it's Soldiers received and extended said same. That's what happens when you live and train by the ethos "Every Marine is a Riflemen First" lol.
Yes as a military veteran your military videos i love
The Harrier has been replaced by the F-35B which also has Short Take Off And Vertical Landing (STOVL). The Marines also got rid of their tanks to focus on being more mobile in the vast Pacific. I highly recommend watching a video on the F/35B. If you think the Harrier is cool, you will love the F35.
Beloved late father in law was a career marine.
Since my mother in law passed away earlier this year, I was given a Corps ring for a small female finger.
Certain it was hers (my husband's step mom).
I wear it on a necklace.
I also have my Daddy's WW2 dog tags.
ANDRÉ, please may you react to the US Navy? If you haven't, yet.
Our son served almost 10 years in the Submarine Service.
The Harrier is actually a British plane and design. Came about back in the late 70's I think.
He did lead with it not being the best.
To ALL former and current Marines posting here: Thank You for your service.
Worst financially & logistically supported branch of the military but still the most effective. My brother was dispatched to Biloxi & Gulfport, Mississippi, for relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina in 2004. Proving their 911 response capabilities....
Lol I love the reaction to the vertical take off. I saw this as a kid in the early 2000's
I was in the Marines from 1987 to 1995. One of the best experiences in my life. If I had the chance to live my life differently all over again, I would not change my time in the Marines. Side note: this video is old. Marines got rid of tanks because they are cumbersome and costly.
Keeping in mind... any equipment/tech you're able to see online is probably already obsolete and our military branches have moved on to better and more "high speed" by now. 😉
Sadly, the USMC no longer has the Abrams. Starting in 2021, they decommissioned all their Tank units and transferred the tanks to the Army. They are also getting rid of most of their artillery units, changing to more mobile HIMARS. They're also phasing out their sniper units. Supposedly this is to a) save money, b) make the bulk of the Corps "more mobile" and c) concentrate on making their infantry the bulk of the Corps, ideally making it faster, leaner and less dependent on heavy, less mobile weapons systems. Not sure why they think snipers are heavy but I don't have a say in this. Previously in history the Corps was almost completely infantry but over the course of two world wars, Korea and Vietnam, it acquired more and more support units which previously were provided by the Army. Apparently the idea is the Corps can depend on the Army providing their heavier support units and can concentrate more on fast response light infantry. Infantrywise, the Corps is superb. But what the end result of this move to skinny down the Corps will be, I have no idea. Hopefully if the Corps gets into a situation where the heavy items are needed, the Army will show up. In relation to air power, the Corps as a part of the Navy can depend on the Navy to provide this component.
They are reorganizing back to become a more lightweight, quick response, expeditionary force, in response to China and the pacific. If you are island hopping, then you want to to be able to minimize logistics and be able to deploy as fast as possible. There are also big changes with organization such as in squads.
The USMC is planning to to add more weapons and capabilities on the squad level with drones and anti drone capability, newer anti-air capability, and anti ship capability. They are currently testing the AGM158 LRASM anti ship missile in HIMARs/NMESIS, pursuing a more versatile force. Anti-air side, they are exploring newer weapons that can be easily deployed/air dropped in things like cargo containers and independently fired. There is also the new Stinger missile replacement being developed in the armor that will make it's way to anti air units. With the loss of Abrams, they are planning to add more Javelins and MAAWs on a company level. There will now be 4x 81mm mortar platoons vs 2x. Precision rifles will be added to precision rifle companies. Switchback loitering munitions will be added from the squad to battalion echelons. USMC has not requested the M10 Booker, but we'll see in the future.
Last year the corps got rid of the m1, primary rifle is currently M16A4 or M4A1. The rockets you see are not Hellfires, but 2.5 inch. The cobra came into service during Vietnam War, the whiskey series came into service in 1988. The lav came into the corps in 1986. Marine squadrons now are using the F35 in operational units. So much of this is out of date.
I can’t wait to join to support my country 🇺🇸
The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie True Lies had a great scene with a Barrier jet outside a skyscraper.
I appreciate your videos, thanks
The Marines are dropping their tanks for a different way of fighting.
USMC 76-89 Every Marine is a rifleman first.
Marines did away with their tank battalions a few years ago. The tanks themselves were transferred to the Army. Not really sure what happened to Marine tankers. I would think they were folded into infantry units but I’m not 100% sure about that…. AV-8B harriers were replaced with the F35 JSF
Former active duty Marine checking in. I enlisted as a grunt, an MOS that starts with 03. Specifically 0311 with a secondary MOS 0341. I have a video of my training I did in IMLC to get my secondary MOS designation on my page if you’d like to check out. But, a grunt nonetheless. Spent 15 years in service and was medically retired. I deployed twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. My first deployment to Iraq in 2007, I was blown up by an IED. It broke my back and required a spinal fusion surgery to correct. I completed two more tours after that. My back got to a point where I could not physically keep up with the tasks of being a grunt. I chose to enter a MED board and retire because I refused to switch to an admin position. Being a warfighter was the best time of my life. People think that Marines are the best because of our equipment, training, and attitudes, but that’s not it. The secret of what makes us the best is the connection and fraternal relationship we build between each other. When you spend day in and day out training alongside the guys you eventually go to war with, the strength of bond, love, and protectiveness you feel for one another is second to none. There’s this thing we say in the Marines, “do it for the guy to your left and right”. That’s so true. There’s not one thing I wouldn’t do for my brothers and when you get a bunch of guys together that think the same thing, there’s nothing you cannot accomplish.
We always got invited to the marines and army parties we were Air Force hell of a party respect 🫡
"This is made is chase tornados" was the best line ever!!!
The U.S. Marines are not the toughest people, they just won't ever give up even when outmatched.
Actually it’s the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle that is 5.56 mm. It’s the standard rifle. Every marine customizes it to mission parameters or their own liking. Those rifles are completely modular meaning it’s so easy to swap parts to get the best out of it. Some marines like different scopes, barrels, silencers, and all that. Usually a modified scope, a barrel design to maximize yield but lower flash is put on, and sometimes a suppressor but each person has preferences. The scope is always adjusted on the fly to their vision or certain distances.
Just worked a civilian sec ops contract with the Corp in Quantico. Amazing group of guys.
On a side note, the Harrier jet has been around since the 60's and is actually a British design.Truly revolutionary. And considering it was the only verticle take off/landing jet on the planet for decades, until the invention of the F-35 B, impressive as Hell. What they didn't say was that the only way it can take of and land vertically is with a supply of water to cool the engines. That supply gives the pilot only 45 seconds to perform the maneuver.
Andre the Harrier is almost obsolete the F-35B is a vertical takeoff or landing( VTOL) they also don't have Abram tanks they got more Amphibious tanks they should highlight those. This video is old F-35 has 3 letter variants A is standard Air Force B is USMC VTOL and C is catapult launch by steam or magnetic off of Carriers. Check out Amphibious assault ships or Helicopter Carriers we got 9 that use helicopters and Vertical jump jets!
The M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR) is the primary weapon for USMC riflemen, replacing the M16/M4. The M27 is a lightweight, air-cooled, gas piston, shoulder-fired weapon that weighs around 9 lbs with a loaded magazine. It has a thicker barrel than the M4, which allows it to fire longer before overheating. The M27 also shoots the same round as the M4, but faster and with less maintenance.
React to the story of Roy Benavides by simple history.
#4 the Harrier has been replaced by the F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL).
Old video. The Marine Corps got rid of their tanks, in order to have a lighter faster service. They are trying to go back to being fast and easily deployable like they were during WW2 in the island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific. If they need tanks, they will make arrangements with the US Army to provide the tank crews and support.
Marines had tanks in the Pacific during World War 2
@@rockymcallister4258 I know that, but they were a much smaller and easier to deploy unit. The only real use tanks had in the Pacific was as platforms for flame throwers. Today's tanks would have been practically useless in the Pacific Theater. They were way too big and heavy for that kind of warfare. Besides hand held and light artillery are much easier to use and far faster to deploy. We don't have the manpower we had back then either. Hand held rockets now can destroy practically any tank built. I would almost argue that tanks are on the verge of being obsolete, especially with drones being able to remotely deploy destructive devices more accurately and at longer range.
My oldest son just joined the Marines. He just graduated this year and turned 18 on July 4th. He played football since 5th grade so he's already built like a Marine.
20 years, 3 months, 9 days in the Marines! I was a Harrier mechanic with 2 different squadrons based out of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina...VMA-231 Ace Of Spades and VMAT-203 Hawks.
Still work for Uncle Sam as a civilian supporting Navy and USMC platforms - FA-18 Legacy and Super Hornets, C-130, P-3, E-2D, E-6B, P-8A, C-2, H-60, and H-1.
Harriers are being retired with only 2 squadrons remaining and no new pilots being trained.
I loved every minute working on Harriers and I still go to work with a smile on my face to this day as I approach my second retirement!
My second comment here.
Since you are Portuguese, my squadron deployed on board the USS Nassau to the Mediterranean in 1988 for 6 months...the best liberty port was Lisbon, Portugal. 4 days in that beautiful city!
Awesome reaction videos! I love when you do U.S. military react videos. 😀
1. Thanks for the compliment
2. I was a tanker (rolling coffin) and it goes a little faster than 45
3. We are always training, even when we’re waiting to train
4. The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. Look up the Rifleman’s Creed
5. We are America’s 911
6. First to fight
7. Semper Fi (always faithful)
My brother was an Army Infantry Officer, a West Point grad. I chose to enlist in the Marine Corps after 2 years of college. My brother was amazed at how much knowledge I had in combat infantry weapons and tactics, especially since I was a Marine Air Intelligence Specialist.
Not only those who choose different areas/fields are proficient with rifles and sidearms, but even the High/Top Brass are as well. EVERYONE. That is definitely unique.
USMC here. I was crew chief on the amphibious vehicles you see going in to the beach starting at about 1:16.
Hey buddy. Love your videos. You mentioned that you like that US vets watch. My brother and I both watch your videos and we're both vets. I was 62E (developmental engineering for the USAF) and my brother was 0331 (USMC machine gunner). We love seeing the European perspective regarding our capabilities. You produce quality content. I've been to Portugal. It's a beautiful country. Some prefer Spain, I disagree. I like your scenery better and your food is better. I was so sick of canned fish by the time I left Spain. Keep it up, you're killing it.
My father-in-law was 30 years in the US Marine Corps.. They are the most highly trained soldiers in the world.. Semper Fi!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
My cousin graduated from MARSOC and was stationed in Mali for a few years. He’s told me some really messed up stories. Now he works in D.C. for some kind of weapons manufacturer.
Love ur military reactions!! ❤
Ty so much 🙏
I love how the show commentator didn't mention the M1A1 can shoot targets at full speed up to 1.5 miles away. that's impressive.
The Marine Corps is giving away its tanks, but the LAV’s are still expected to face the enemy until the mid 2030’s.
17-year Navy-vet, here. Was medically retired in 2007.
A fresh out of basic training Marine has already beat a basic army sniper.
The marine core is who you call when you need something drank, destroyed, dead or pregnant.
The information in the video being reviewed is out of date. The USMC retired the M1 Abrams in 2020. The USMC started replacing their Harriers in 2015.
I am Veteran viewer my friend. Keep up the good work!
I have never been in the service, but am very interested in them. I have several channels I watch, but enjoy seeing you talk about them. They have a lot of new equipment that is being developed. Thanks.
If you have ever seen the movie True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger then you will remember this aircraft. It has been around for many years.
2:10 well since its the marines I can speculate its one of the 2 full auto M16 variants, likely the M16A3. These guns are fossils, made in the 80's for the cold war. The marines used to catch flack for it in the early 2000's by the Army because the Army was using M416s which were new at the time while the Marines had to make due with the Grandpa rifle
Every Marine is a Rifleman 1st . I was a Jet Mechanic but yet was an Expert Marksman on 4 different platforms . and every year went to Quantico Marine Base for firearms training.
Hello there.
I am a Marine. I served from 1978 through 1980. There is a saying: "No greater friend, no worse Enemy." That pretty much sums up the US Marine Corps. You want to be friends? Then be friendly with Marines. We love to party with friends. You want to make trouble, raise a fuss, get angry, and shoot at Americans or our Allies? Then the Marines will drop all hell on your pointy little head.
I often tell people that I know I am not going to Heaven when I die. Let me explain. It says in the Marine Corps hymn that: 'If the Army and the Navy ever look upon Heaven's scene, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.' This means that Heaven is a Marine's Duty Post after death, not where he is barracked. Not where he lays his or her head to sleep. NO... Marines go to Hell. We plan on giving 'Old Nick (the Devil, aka Satan) a hard time for eternity, along with every other Marine that has ever lived, or will ever live.
A suggestion for you to react to.... A video by 'The Fat Electrician' on why you never want to mess with America's boats. Link below.

Father was a marine (dead now) I went Air Force (SAC) I admire the Marines.
Its not just that their Marine's, although we American's are very very proud of the Corps, but a hugh part is how we Americans think. We Americans can assume responsibility and do each other's job. That's American.
Once a Marine, always a marine. Semper Fi.
They are not showing off, it's part of their training program
No better friend, No worse enemy.
A lot of my friends are former U.S. Marine's they are nuts and they will not quit.
3:34 up until 6 months ago, I worked at an Aerospace company that made some of the components for the gyroscope that keeps the gun level while driving. I personally electroplated some of the parts that go on tanks. just bragging. lol
if you react to the falklands war, the air and navy versions you will see the harrier in live action, they were near invincale in that conflict. nowadays they easy targets for heat seeking missles because of their huge heat signature.
We are just built different. I’ve been out for 25 years but my leatherneck still shines bright.
I did my first four years active duty as a Marine and couldn't wait to leave it. Speaking only from my own experience, I've never heard so much sh*t talking from people who didn't do anything...but they sure could talk themselves up, like they were compensating for something. I finished those four years and immediately followed it with eight years active duty Army, including the first Gulf War, and loved it - what a difference. Just soldiers doing what they were paid to do, and doing it well, without needing to talk themselves up.
I think your issues have more to do with the Pentagon higher ups than with the typical Marine unit and its men. The brass in Washington haven't seemed to know what to do with the Marines in a long time--since we last went ashore on a hostile beach in Korea. That's the way it works in Washington: Each service branch wants a piece of every bit of fighting, even when they aren't suitable, because if they are left out it will be reflected in their budget. But the Marines are a very specialized force: As I said, elsewhere, they are LIGHT infantry, specialized to enter hostile territory and operate there with high mobility, especially when the insertion is best accomplished from the sea. Should we ever send troops into Yemen or even Iran, they will find their place coming ashore from the Red Sea or the Persian Gulf.
Respect from America. You should do a reaction on Business Insiders jungle school boot camp. They do a bunch of great U.S. military videos. Their Boot camp series is wonderful
I love the fact the #1 Basic Weapon is the Marine Rifleman! EVERY Marine is a Rifleman first! Every Marine is a WEAPON! The term Marine is NOT given -- it MUST be EARNED! PRIDE runs deep in the Corps. THIS is why the US Marine Corps cannot be beaten! A Marine would rather die than embarass or fail the Corps! It's just that simple! Semper Fidelis!

first rifle you saw was the m4 a1
Marines doesn't use the Harrier anymore. They use the F35 vertical takeoff jet
Was in Navy for 10 yrs medical discharge wouldn't trade that time for anything
My dad was a Marine, fought in WW2.
I left a lika and subbed you bro.
The Corps don't use the Harrier any longer. It has been replaced with the stealth F35b vtol.
For your information, the word "Corps" is pronounced as though it were spelled "core" or 'cor'. The letters P and S at the end of the word are silent.
U.S. veteran and I worked on the patriot ADA system
Once a Marine always a Marine, Semper Fi bros
I don't care what the other four lethal weapons are cuz they aint shit without the most lethal weapon is A Marine
Another 20 year Marine here, you comment don’t mess with Marines of America, if you mess with America they sends the Marines. Devil Dogs, they forgot to say with all the technology we have, Marines don’t quit till the jobs done, Semper Fi, we do or die
When I was in the Marines back in the 70s we never used a scope on our rifles.( however Marine Corp snipers use long range scopes.)
