No because like he said the point of these guys is just hold out until help arrives, or deal with riots, so if you are docked and are attacked in a foreign port, or if people are protesting and become violent. US Marines are only on certain US vessels like the one I was on an LHD. They are on other Amphib ships but things like Destroyers, Aircraft Carriers, Cruisers, Frigates and etc don't have a Marine element on them a CVN may have a marine Hornet squadron but it won't have infantry .

No, that was during 1914, before the US even joined the war. I think the put WWI because it was simply the era it took place in.
I believe it would fall under the era of Imperialism and the Banana wars .

Where can I get a complete reproduction Officer uniform like the one in this video?
If these came back wouldn't it eliminate the need for the marine corps?
