  1. Please explain this complete assery you just typed. Explain, SPECIFICALLY, how a marine pog is preferable to an 11B. What, EXACTLY, do marine pogs do, that the US Army Infantry CAN'T do! I want SPECIFICS! Otherwise, you'll just be considered just another marine nut-hugger, who's never served a single day in the military. I want the TACSOP broken down for each. Convince me. Oh, it may, or may not interest you to know...That I've asked this question COUNTLESS times, and it has NEVER been answered! In fact, the most hilarious answer I've EVER received was, "you were never a Marine, so you wouldn't understand" Pure comedy. Anyway, waiting...…..

  2. 1. That's adorable. You guys are your own biggest fans. I find it awesome, that you guys, with so little (which is pure, unadulterated bull$hit), can kick the whole world's ass all by yourselves. Outstanding. 2. "Legally limited to the size of a corps"? By whose authority? I never saw that law. Is it in the Constitution? 3. Embassies, and Consulates....So, basically, you're a security detachment. In TOTAL, there are roughly 1800 of you standing a post. Do you expect us to believe that, if a country's military decides to run buckshot over an embassy, a few of you hard charging security guards, because of your omnipotence, can quell them? Man, you guys MUST be badasses! Absolutely hilarious!!! 4. Awww...That's cute. I LOVE your "legal" jargon. LEGALLY defined as a force-in-readiness? The legislative branch of the United States government mandated this?? This is news to me. I'll have to look that up. (Although, I know it's a waste of my time, but..........Okay, I'm back. And, as I expected, you're full of $hit!) I suggest you have your Commandant update the obligatory schpeel your DI's force-feed you in boot. The very last time Congress declared war, was some 80 odd years ago, in WWII. And THAT means, Korea, Nam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan, required NO congressional declaration. The first boots on the ground to FIGHT, back in OIR, was the ARMY'S 3ID. Also, the Marines weren't the ONLY force in Grenada, champ. (Ask me how I know this. I know you'll love the answer!) 5. This is the exact equivalent of Army bases on foreign soil. It's called tactical readiness, in the event the $hit hits the fan. You're part of the NAVY. So, of COURSE it makes sense for some of you to be on ships. Duh. But, don't mistake that to be some badassery, that only THEY can be called upon to exercise. You CLEARLY have NO IDEA about the Army, and are just trumpeting more MC propaganda crap. 6. Holy $hit, this was dumb! CROSS TRAINING?? LMFAO!!! What special training does it require, to ride on a boat, and disembark said boat, when you get to the beachhead? You realize what you are, when you land on the beachhead, right??? You're INFANTRY. How you get there, is completely irrelevant. Oh, and I LOVED THIS: "In general, the regular USMC forces are more adaptable than regular Army forces, as the later tend to specialize more in a certain aspect of combat, while the USMC is more Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none." I see. So, is what you're telling me is, that quartermasters, network admins, spoons, and JAG personnel, can fly jets, like officers, and warrant officers? I had no IDEA you guys were so complete. My friend was an 0311. I'll have to ask him how he liked flying fighter jets. LOL!! Who knew that rappelling off of birds, and running off of boats made you more formidable. I have tears in my eyes, I'm laughing so hard!! Best laugh I've had all year!

  3. I've been all over YT, and I swear, this HAS to be one of, if not THE most clueless response I've ever read! So, the Navy and AF aren't combat branches? LMAO!! I can't even BEGIN to dissect this drivel!Dude, did you even serve??
    9
  4. Never brought up Rangers, pal. No need. Everyone knows they're in a completely different league. But, I will tell you, that Infantry to Infantry, both the Army AND the Marines are the exact same...And I challenge ANYONE to prove otherwise! All I ever hear is amphibious landings. Yay! But, that STILL doesn't tell me how the MC is superior! Again...I've been asking this question for YEARS! I've never gotten an answer! The quest continues…..

POOF But that's okay, because they're wearing suits and ties, and not hoodies and saggy jeans! LMAO!! Oh, and PLEASE don't take MY word for it! These umbers are right from the fib.gov. Go see for yourself.

  6. Please go back, and re-read your post. When you've finished, click edit (again), and fix your spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. THEN you can come back, and talk about intelligence.

  7.  @michaelmatthias9495  Exactly, man! Unless the Marines have found a way to breech warp drive, the Army RDF's can be anywhere on the planet within hours. Devildog, I understand that you have to go to bat for the MC, but, let's be real...A lot of what you guys spew is straight up bullshit! More with less?? What does that even mean? lol!

  9.  @whodat9198  Dude, you're getting sillier with each subsequent post. I love how you guys put all of your eggs in basic rifle qual, and brag about how you shoot 200 yards farther. That's cute. What you ALWAYS seem to fail to mention, is that you can still qualify expert, even if you come nowhere NEAR hitting that 500 yard target. (And this is info I got from a friend of mine, who was an 0311. So, before even attempt to refute me, save your keystrokes!) In today's wars, who engages tangos at that distance regularly?? Also, you do NOT run twice as far on your PFT. You run 3 miles, we run 2. I'm no math genius by ANY stretch. But, even BASIC math tells me that that's not twice as far! Man, get real!! And please stop with the Jessica Lynch shit. She was NOT 11x! Good lord!

  10.  @whodat9198  The only thing I figured out, is that you're not too bright. Every Marine is a rifleman? That's cute. Every SOLDIER is a rifleman, too! But, not every Soldier (OR Marine) is an INFANTRYman!!! BIG difference!!! Oh boy! -_-

  11.  @kiabtoomlauj6249  "The US Army isn't known for agility" 10th MTN, 101st, 3ID, 173rd, 82nd, 3CAV, 7ID, SOF, 1CAV, and the 75th all vehemently disagree with you.

  14. How can you call yourself anything when you're dead? -_-

  15. Uhm, it's a sniper course, dude. It's not supposed to have drills screaming at, and putting the fear of God in you. Why do you Gomers feel compelled to chime in on damn near Army video? To be as badass as you claim to be, so many of you are completely obsessed with the Army. It's quite comical. Let me guess, every single Marine could pass this course pretty easily, huh? Even your nastiest pogs? LMAO!

  17.  @erwinb3412  I think that your comment was distasteful. Foreign governments shouldn't meddle in the affairs of other nations that don't concern them. The people suffering from the ailments you mentioned, are not the ones making the decisions to outlaw homosexuality. Imagine a country, say Italy, is devastated by a massive earthquake. Scores of people are dead, dying, and displaced, only to hear: "We don't agree with your stance on homosexuality, so your situation is of no concern to us. You're on your own." That's crazy.

  19.  @whodat9198  The Army has NEVER run 1.5 miles on the PFT. You're starting to make it clear that you know SHIT about the Army! And the only thing Marines are superior at, is propaganda, and straight up bullshit! Big time lies! You're not supermen! Not even close! Infantry is Infantry! There is ZERO difference And I DEFY you to prove otherwise!
    4
  20.  Yah Saves  It's funny how you Gomers always say that your training is superior. But, out of the literal HUNDREDS of pog ass Marines I've seen type that shit on YT, I've never, not even ONCE, after asking what SPECIFICALLY makes MC training superior, gotten an answer! So, I'll try yet again (although I'm not optimistic).....How is MC Infantry training superior to ARMY Infantry training? SPECIFICALLY? ******prepares for crickets******

  27.  @whodat9198  I swear to god, man! When they say that Marines are stupid, they're not just blowing smoke!! I'll try again. Please try and focus....A rifleman is one who has learned BASIC RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP!! 11 Bravo (11x/c) are INFANTRY!! Pogs are NOT INFANTRY!!!! Do you understand now? Or, do I have to dumb it down to remedial levels! Jesus!!! -__-

  28.  @whodat9198  Tee hee hee....Those are cute quotes! I ESPECIALLY loved the one where the General said "If the Marines can do it, why can't the Army"! The only problem is, whenever I see that quote, I ONLY see it in Marine rags! I've NEVER seen it anywhere else! I searched the entire internet, trying to find that quote actually FROM General Pershing! NOPE!! Try again! (LMAO)

  30. And what was YOUR mos, tough guy? Let me guess....Some type of pog mos, right? And now, because you finished boot camp, you fancy yourself a hard charger, superior to soldiers, so you watch ARMY videos on YouTube, for the sole purpose of $hitting on your brothers in arms. Did I nail it?

  33. You need to stop this craziness, man. You guys are hilarious. You really think being more aggressive will be all that it takes to win? I mean, a Chihuahua is 'more aggressive' than a Rottweiler. But, which one would YOU rather have attack you? Also, I've got a newsflash for you. Different branches are.....well.....different. Not exactly an epiphany, is it? But, don't get it twisted, bro. Infantry to infantry, the differences between the army and the marines are negligible. But, okay....Why don't you tell me, in terms of the branches' respective infantries, what makes the marine corps better? Be specific. And don't talk about aggressiveness, because that's definitely NOT endemic to the branch. I'll wait.....

  34. It seems idiocy is HUGE in the comments section. Congratulations, Woodrow.

  35. ​ @izzymarz6788  Clearly, we're in different modes. I'm talking about $hit like fighting, and actually winning wars, and keeping this country safe....And here you are yammering on about kids (who probably still pee the bed) learning basic $hit. That's cute. "doing our jobs with the cheapest way possible" That literally made no sense whatsoever, man. None. -_- "to the overall brotherhood because of the few numbers that are in the corps compared to other branches" Again, nonsensical. You're reaching, man. You've obviously never served in an Army infantry unit, bruh. Ever hear of the "Blue Cord Brotherhood"? (I bet you had to Google it.) When it comes to brotherhood, especially in combat arms, you can't speak on it, so DON'T. In fact, if you even served at all, I bet you were a pog. Because you certainly sound like one. Oh, and that little blip about the 'few numbers'....Don't kid yourself, Gomer. You're under the Department of the NAVY. You're basically their infantry. (Except pogs.) So, it stands to reason that you would number fewer, compared to other branches. Duh. Now, let me educate you on this little dig: "there is a reason why if a person from another branch joins the marines, they have to go through bootcamp, while if marines decide to go to others, we go straight in, cough cough" I mean, I almost laughed out loud reading this dung! Do you really think that you're so omnipotent, and badass, that other branches, whose members may jump ship to the MC, would have to go through boot? That's hilarious! Do you know why that is? It's ONLY because it's MARINE CORPS POLICY! Full stop! The other branches are obviously smarter than that. They know what a colossal waste of both time, AND MONEY it is, to make military members, who just ETS-ed, and decided to go to another branch, go through basic again. That's absolutely ridiculous. Just more silly dick-measuring by the USMC. Do you really think that an Army grunt, who went to Fort Benning, and then decided to go to the MC after his hitch, would in any way be shook, or have a hard time going through MC boot? 🤣 And, SPEAKING of grunts....IF you're in the MC, and you leave, deciding you wanna jump to the Army, and you're out for more than four years before you make said jump, guess where YOUR ass is going........BASIC! Ask yourself why you NEVER see 11B's, AFPR's, SEALs, Green Berets, 82nd Airborne, 101st Air Assault, 10th MTN, or the 75th Rangers, all over Marine videos, beating their chest, and $hitting on their brothers in arms, telling them how they suck compared to them. If you've asked yourself this question, but don't have an answer....Allow me to fill that void. It's because THEY'RE the REAL badasses! And badasses don't brag. Because if you have to brag, you really ain't $HIT! Do your job, and STFU. So yeah, you keep coughing, son. Make sure you get it all out. ;-)

  38. Are you even serious right now?  Please go to The History Channel, and even right here on YT, search up some footage of the United States Army during WW2, Korea, and 'Nam. Once you've finished, come back and tell us more about how the army's main focus is to 'hold ground'. I say again, whether it's army infantry, or marine infantry, the differences are negligible. Forget the uniforms, forget the drill, forget all that other silly crap that means absolutely NOTHING during times of war. Infantry to infantry, there's practically zero difference. Now, you can try and change my mind. But you'll have a better chance of taking down a fully grown bull elephant with a spitball.

  41.  @wastelanderstark8555  This wasn't specifically aimed at you. Too many Marines follow this absolutely asinine (and COMPLETELY untrue) assessment of the Army's mission statement, with zero facts to back it up. I believe it is what their DI's spoon-fed them in boot, and they swallowed every crumb. To answer your questions, I was a U.S. Army Airborne infantryman, who did my OSUT at Benning, served in Europe, and Asia, then back to Benning.

  42. Well, if they went from infantry to infantry, then the differences, in terms of TACSOP, are negligible.

  43. What class did you graduate with?

  44. That's ridiculous. -_- There IS no comparison. Army infantry, and Marine infantry are practically identical.

  45. That's cute. But, the 75th, SFO's, Recon, 3ID, 82nd, 101's, 10th MTN, 1st ID, and the 25th ID all disagree with you. ;-)

  51.  @whodat9198  Uhm, did you bother to see the date of that link you posted??? (Hahahahahahahaha!) Bro, if you're gonna seriously grab supposed quotes from three people, out of the MILLIONS that served (provided they're accurate, and not embellished like all marines love to do), then I can't take anything you say seriously. You're literally talking about damn near ancient history. What I know is this....You're NOT superior, full stop! There are shitbird Marines (Try and tell me that there are not), and shitbird Soldiers. You will have studs in ALL branches. The US Army is the ass-kicking-est MF's on terra firma. We have kicked ass all throughout history. (Look it up) And no amount of shit talking, and vilification from you, or your lying ass brethren will change that. You are a small branch. You are the Department of the Navy. You try and make everyone who'll listen believe that just because you get yelled at in boot, you're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, I hate to bust your bubble, bruh...But you couldn't BE more wrong! So, you just keep puffing, and beating your chest, and making your rounds across cyberspace, telling everyone how badass you are! Meanwhile, the REAL badasses, who shut their mouths, and do their jobs get the props. Ask yourself why you never see Rangers, SEALs, AFPR, and CC's, Deltas, or SF's running around on YT shitting on their brothers in arms! On second thought, don't....As a Marine, you'll simply lie to yourself anyway. But, I'll tell you. REAL bad asses don't have to brag. If you have to brag, you ain't shit! (Badass 101) Also, getting a badge doesn't make you a grenadier. But, you are BASICALLY TRAINED. (Sound familiar?) Just like graduating from boot makes you a BASICALLY TRAINED MARINE! The REAL training begins when you get to your PDS. You crayon gobblers seem to forget that. LOL! I went through in the 80s. And, contrary to what the text in that link reads, DS's said that you are (here it comes again) a BASICALLY TRAINED SOLDIER upon graduation! This is why they call it Basic "COMBAT" training!! And we ALL GO through it, whether you're a pog, or a hard charging grunt! That's been around FAR longer than that link you posted. But, whatever man YouTube is REPLETE with Soldiers kicking ass in combat! You bring up 3, or 4 instances of a couple of people not packing it, and you think that the whole branch is ass! Well, the fact that this country exists in its current iteration in terms of power, flies in the face of what YOU think of the Army! But, if you REALLY want to continue this assery, let's go! I'm not talking about round bowns...Break down for me, the EXACT DIFFERENCES in TACSOP's, for the respective branches, and tell me how yours is superior! You're not dealing with a stupid man here, Gomer. So be careful! I'm not convinced! ;-)

  52.  @TheRIGOCOLA  Bro, you're wasting your time with this fool. He, and his ilk are all the same. They've been lied to. He talks about the Army being out of shape. Like we really need cooks, quartermasters, and network admins to be fitness studs. Please! -_- Whenever those clowns talk shit about the Army, they always refer to pogs. Never Infantry. Because they know what's up. They completely ignore the hardcore hard chargers, and concentrate fully on the aforementioned mos's. Finding a Marine who's respectful, and honorable (which they always talk of how prideful they are of it), is about as difficult as finding an amoeba in a hundred acres of tall grass! They're out there, but there aren't very many of them. THOSE are the Marines I respect. But guys like him?? Forget about it. I say, just let them wallow in a giant vat of misinformation, lies, and wanton stupidity.

  53. You, as well, brotha! Hooah!
    2
  54. You capitalized "dumb", and "smarter", you used the letter "u" in place of the word "you", and you capitalized the word "crayon". Your punctuation was ALL jacked up, and to make matters worse, you used the word "then" when you should have used "than". Please delete your post. And, from now until your dying day, do not EVER speak of marines being smarter again.
    2
  55. Only for pogs. Infantry OSUT is 22 weeks.
    2
  56. Well, that person was probably a pog (in BOTH branches), and obviously had no idea what he was talking about. Also, you may want to check your sentence structure. It's friggin' horrible. I had to read it twice to try and make any sense of it. -_-
    2
  57. Hahahahahaha!!! Once again, you're only telling HALF the story. You guys are notorious for that. Sure, you have to shoot "AT" that 500 yard target. BUT (and this is a BIG but), you do NOT HAVE TO HIT IT. AND, you can STILL qualify EXPERT, without coming anywhere NEAR that 500 yard target. So why tf is it even there? Why even bother? Also, I'm going to copy/paste an excerpt from a rag called the Marine Times: (Note....The USMC is adopting a NEW qual SOP. Guess which branch has already had this SOP for YEARS.) "We've shifted the target down a human target. You do need to strike in what have been identified as lethality zones. Anything outside these zones, could suggest it's not a physiological stop, said CW5 John Costa, director of the marksmanship program management at the training battalion. That's because an operational analysis conducted in 2018 showed lethality gaps in which Marines were having problems hitting moving targets, and hitting human targets in ways that would incapacitate the person." So, while YOU guys are shooting at cute little popup targets, the ARMY is shooting at MOVING targets, in full battle rattle. One thing I found funny while reading that USMC rag, was that, they seem to love doing irrelevant comparisons to the ARMY. It was quite comical. Why you guys don't just shut up, and do your jobs, and stop putting down your brothers in arms, I'll never know. The fact that your females 'shoot at' a 500 yard target is precious. I guess they're now considered infantry, as a result, huh? Man, that little brother syndrome must be a motherf**ker.

It's seriously as if kids are posting in the comments section, so you shouldn't be too shocked that he would say this. He's either a marine pog, has never been to combat, or has never served a day in his life.

    2
  73.  @LetsTravelOurWorld  This, ladies and gentlemen, is the textbook response when you make an asinine statement, and have no answer when you're challenged. Well, before you embark on that vacation, let me give you something to mull over. There are about 170,000 marines of which 70% are pogs. (Like I bet YOU were.) The army is FAR larger, with FAR more hardcore units, a MASSIVE budget, and MASSIVE firepower. It is arguably the most powerful army on terra firma. It, quite handily, could pummel any army's boots on the planet ALONE. Read that again, Gomer. If the marines had to go to war with the likes of Russia, China, or even NK WITHOUT the army, they'd get their clocks cleaned before you could say 'pimple pie'. Now, you can talk all the poop you want, but ya see, you NEED the army to win a war. But the army certainly doesn't need YOU. So, I'd show some respect to your brothers in arms, Gomer. The marines ain't fighting the army in any reality in your wildest dreams. You dolts don't seem to fathom that both branches play for the same team. It's quite comical, actually. Have a nice vacation. 😉

  74. You're confused. Educate yourself, then get back to us.

  75.  @11b_173_jumpoutboyz  Yup. I've been telling these fools for years now. Infantry is infantry, irrespective of which branch you're in. Comparing the two is literally like comparing Granny Smith apples to Fuji apples. You nailed it. It's mostly marine pogs who think they're superior to all other branches, just because they got yelled at in boot. They get to the fleet, sit behind a desk, fix trucks, or scramble eggs, having NO idea what infantry life is. Yet, they're more high speed than army grunts. Gut-busting hilarity! 😂

  78. I'm with you on that one.

  79. Well, frank...What would you say to the mainland of India being the rat-infested $#1thole that it is? Why are so many Indians living in Africa if it's so bad? Let's not pretend India is the be all/end all of prosperity. Ask the average Sri Lankan, or someone from Kerala how the Indians up in "Bollywood" feel about them. -_-

  84.  @kizunadragon9   1800's?? LOL! That's precious. Pretty sure you're the one who needs educating. But, no worries, man. I'll be more than happy to school you like your 8th grade science teacher. You have no idea what you're talking about. This much is certain.

  88. Well, since this was filmed during the Covid, not so much.

  90. Go back to school, and re-learn how to write properly.

  91.  @xPoN3dx  "go look at Marine boot camp schedule and ranger school schedule. Outside the final hike they are identical" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Man, that was one doozy of a dream you just had. Better head down to breakfast, before it gets cold. Just wow! 🤣🤣

  92. Ruck up, get out there, and show 'em how tough YOU are, champ.

  93. Better at what, specifically?
    2
  94. Roger that, sir.

  95.  @February_  I didn't ask you to differentiate between leg units, and spec-ops. What I ASKED you was, are those "NOT" killers?
    2
  96.  @yusdesoto3975  That's cute. But basic is just that....BASIC. You're learning basic $hit. Every soldier knows, especially combat arms, that the REAL training begins when you get to your PDS. Also, you can't be a 'kid' to be an 18 series. Also, if you wanna go Ranger right out of OSUT, you will have to go through the tab course, then jump school, then the selection process. You WILL be challenged. So, even if you are a 'scrawny kid', I'm pretty sure you won't be, once you've gone through the aforementioned courses. Trust me, you don't just get in. Either way, you're making it seem as though basic is the be all, end all, like the Marines do. It's NOT! Even leg units can be (and usually are) FULL of killers. Ask me how I know. "All the tough guys are already out or are getting ready to leave the army." ALL? Please tell me how you know this to be a fact. I'll wait....
    2
  97. Come back to us when you can actually spell. Otherwise, what you say can't be taken seriously. Wow! LOL!
    2
  98. It always tickles me when I see people saying how soft the drills are by watching fkn YT videos. They truly have no idea what happens when those cameras stop rolling. Especially at Benning!
    2
  99.  @chairdolfsitler8673  There are more differences than there are similarities. I think the color contrast of the rank insignia, to the buttons, is sharper than the alphas.
    2
  100. Worst analogy in the HISTORY of analogies. -_-
    2
  101.  @glizzygoblin-nl2uh  Well, if, by looking at my username, you're unable to ascertain whether I'm Army, or Marine Corps Infantry, tells me that you've never served. And that's okay. I'm just saying...If you don't know, you probably shouldn't comment. And I mean that with all due respect. 11 Bravo is an Army occupational specialty, which is unmistakably Infantry. Whenever I hear (read) people say that the Marines take villages, while the Army occupies, that's a red flag to end all red flags, and couldn't BE more inaccurate. Plus, if you knew WHY the Marines were established, then you would know that they were/are the Navy's ground-fighting force. They're also not technically a 'separate branch', as they fall under the Department of the NAVY! You're going to have to do a lot better than that, if you're going to try and convince me that Army Infantry, and USMC Infantry are vastly different. Admittedly, their MISSIONS are different. But, when it comes to INFANTRY, in terms of their respective actual TACSOPs, I maintain, the differences are almost too negligible to even mention. Apples to apples, bro. Only the varieties differ.
    2
  102. it's 'they're'. Plus, they're pogs. -_-
    2
  103. As it was in both branches. But this ain't 1978 anymore, is it?
    2
  104.  @redaug4212  And plus, I think he, like MOST marines, love to embellish stories. I didn't buy a single word of his bull$hit.
    2
  105. You've obviously never served. That was the most ridiculous post I've read in quite some time.
    2
  106.  @1BeGe  Initially, I thought you were talking shit about the Army. I've been saying the same shit for YEARS! The difference between the two branches, where INFANTRY is concerned, is literally like comparing Red Delicious apples to Gala. Apologies.
    2
  107. Offensive? You sound like a complete weirdo. You consider yourself superior? Soldiers and marines, where infantry is concerned, are practically identical. If you doubt me, try and convince me. But, I warn you, it will be a very tall order.
    2
  108. 400,000? Try 1.03 million.
    2
  109. I see the green-eyed monster is still alive and well in the marines? I love that supposed quote by Pershing that you guys love to post. 2 problems with it, though: 1. He never said that 2. When asked when, where, and what exactly he was talking about, marines seem to vanish I'd try again, but I know it'd be the biggest exercise in futility since Evel Knievel tried to jump the Snake River. -_- You guys are hilarious.
    2
  110. ​ @paulwilson8672  "Only green eyed of the money." I read that three times, and STILL couldn't make it make sense. Kids, if you're watching, this is why you stay in school. That 911 force thing is precious. Except the: 101st Airborne Division, the 10th Mountain Division, the 3rd Infantry Division, the 173rd Airborne Brigade, the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 10th SFG, and the 82nd Airborne Division would vehemently disagree with you. You marines love to give yourselves these cute little nick names, phrases, and sayings to make people think you're more bas@$$ than everyone else. My favorite is how the Germans called you those delicious snack cakes. LMAO! But, like Journey first said way back in 1981.....Don't stop believin'. ;-)
    2
  111.  @Eric-lq6yk  Incorrect. The marines do not 'fight' on water. (Again, that's the navy's job.) They fight on LAND. And since they are the navy's infantry (pogs notwithstanding), most of the time they get 'transportation' to the battlefield VIA the navy. How you get there is irrelevant. You guys throw the word expeditionary around like its definition is exclusive to the marine corps. It's not. Plus, your definition is wrong. It literally means to deploy forces to foreign territory on short notice. Every branch of the US military can (and does) have expeditionary units/forces.
    2
  112. Please try again. Only in ENGLISH! Jesus! -_-

  113.  @alexanderwinters5531  Yes sir!

  114.  @thagr8121  Not gonna keep any of that 'in mind', because it is absolutely untrue. Specifically getting army leftovers. Utterly ridiculous. The M27 IR is practically brand new. -__-

  115. Why don't you school him, then?
    2
  116. That's cute, but it means jack. You would still lose in a war.

  117. But I bet you'd rather be anywhere else than downrange.

  118.  @redaug4212  Exactly!! These kids. SMH.
    2
  119. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  Either you didn't read the post, or you don't know the difference between "bread" (which is what YOU wrote), and "bred". You guys absolutely KILL me with that culture crap. Let me clue you in, sir. Your history, and ethos don't mean dooley squat in real war. It only matters when you're in garrison, or when you're telling everyone who'll listen, that you're a marine. You're not special. You just THINK you are. Your 'distinct role' is that you're naval infantry. (pogs notwithstanding) But, let's be honest. Although you do fight well, you're redundant. Amphibious landings are about as passé as muskets, and dueling pistols. You exist only because the navy can't 'infantry'. (Except SEALs) Your infantry, and army infantry are practically identical. Accept it, because it is the truth. That 911 thing? You need to stop it. Everyone who's ever served in combat arms knows that that is solely dependent on the mission, and NOT the branch. Because the 75th, 101st, 3ID, 10th MTN, and the 82nd all vehemently disagree with you. As for all marines being basically trained in infantry tactics, you literally described the army, dude. Because every single potential soldier WILL have to be basically trained in infantry tactics. And that's irrespective of MOS. The "C" in BCT literally stands for COMBAT. The difference is, OUR pogs KNOW that they're pogs. They don't try to fancy themselves as hard charging grunts like marine pogs do. Just ask the average 0311 if he thinks that quartermaster, spoons, or network admins are the same. That oughtta get a good laugh.
    2
  120. That's cute. But, I'm pretty sure that's more individual than branch specific. When the enemy is demolished, nobody is gonna ask whether they were demolished for business reasons, or religious reasons. As long as the ends are met, the means are irrelevant. -__-

  121. "tf" do you even care?
    2
  122. Well that's because you're MARINES. Duh. Water is literally in your name. -_-

  123.  @Filipe_Veras  "alligators, not crocodiles" So you think there aren't any crocodiles in the United States? 😆
    2
  124. Finally. Somebody gets it. All these marines in the comments section talking about boot, as if learning basic shit is literally is the zenith of their entire military career. Meanwhile army grunts know that the REAL training begins when you get to your PDS.
    2
  125. LOL!!! Educate yourself BEFORE you post. You have no idea what you're talking about.
    2
  126. That woman who took their order was obviously an extra, and completely starstruck. She was grinning throughout her entire scene. 🤣
    2
  127. You have no idea what you're talking about, Gomer. That much is obvious. But, I do think it's hilarious, that even your nastiest pogs, fancy themselves hardcore infantrymen. It's quite comical. 🤣
    2
  128.  @TheJrj430  You're delusional. But, I'll say one thing for you, you do provide for some excellent comic relief. LMAO!
    2
  129. It's M.O.P.P., dummy! And, why don't YOU "roll up", instead if suggesting someone else do it? And yet, they call THEM savages. Boy, talk about a verifiable tsunami of irony. -_-

  130.  Malus  Maybe you missed the last part. Read it again.

  131. Spot on, sir!

  132. "The army is weak and pathetic" Easy to say when you're tucked safely behind your IP address. Still though, I bet you'd rather be anywhere else than downrange.
    2
  133.  @jesusloves3333  My "point" is, that the United States has two infantries. And they're both practically identical. I served in the army infantry, and I don't remember holding a damn thing. I'M not saying that the marines don't deserve props. Never did. But saying that the army's mission is to hold ground is simply untrue. You don't have all that firepower just to play guard duty. And hell week? That's cute. But what does that have to do with war fighting capability? I've said it before, and it bears repeating.....You guys act as though kids learning basic poop is the absolute zenith of your entire military career. It's quite comical. I don't care what you do in boot, man. It's what you do in battle that matters.
    2
  134.  @Unreal890  I wish I knew, man.
    2
  135. You're a clueless clod. But, I'll bite. Break this down for us, champ. Smarter how, stronger how, and better trained in what, specifically? Eagerly awaiting what will surely be hilarity at its absolute zenith......
    2
  136. Best post in here, by FAR!!! And dead on ball accurate!!
    2
  137.  @alexanderwinters5531  Not so simple. I was mechanized infantry for more than two years, before going back to Benning. The only time we spent in the Bradleys, was when we were going to the AO. Once there, we rucked up, and did our infantry thing, BIG time. IFV's were our Ubers, not our homes.
    2
  138. Not if you're infantry.
    2
  139. And where would you marines boots be, if an all out war broke out between the U.S. and China, Russia, or NK without the army? Nice knowin' ya.
    2
  140. I can see marine ignorance runs deeper than the Mariana Trench. So let's open up the school, shall we? - The lowest ASVAB score for all four branches is 31. Only the Coast Guard has a lowest score acceptance of 36. - The U.S. Marines absolutely DO accept GED's. (look it up. It's right on their site.) - You cannot graduate basic if you can't pass your PT test, full stop. So, you're either lying, or you were lied to. - The Forge, you will hike close to 50 miles in total. The last 16 is a ruck march, and it happens in a day, and NOT in 96 hours. (Man, please.) Ask about Honor Hill at Fort Benning (infantry), and the 21-mile road march with a 60 lb ruck. (Ask me how I know this) Please know what you're talking about BEFORE you post. And lastly, speaking to him that way simply because he switched branches, is typical marine mentality. If you had any idea how many ex marines changed branches, you'd probably cry. Why you're all salty over something so miniscule is hilarious. That literally is the equivalent of members of a football team's offensive line, getting mad at a left tackle for moving to the inside linebacker position. Maybe one day, you fruitcakes will understand that all four branches of the United States military play for the SAME TEAM, and are ALL brothers in arms. You guys are unbelievable. smh.

  141.  @Spielername  Look again. 😑

  142. You've obviously never served. You have no idea what you're talking about. -_-

  143. This uniform is from the 1940's. The Army doesn't want to be like the Marines. We're the ARMY, dumbkopf. -_-
    2
  144. Untrue.
    2
  145.  @daltonfitkin2536  My source is the fact that I served in the US Army infantry for years. And we never did anything even remotely resembling "long term occupation". You don't possess all that massive firepower to just sit there and play sentry. The fact that so many people (mostly marines) think that we're an occupational force, is absolutely hilarious. The more you know......
    2
  146.  @alexanderwinters5531  Hahahaha!
    2
  147. I hope you're joking. I really do.
    2
  148.  @daviniarobbins9298  I bought my MBP in 2012. 11 years later, it still works like a charm. The only reason I'm upgrading, is because FCPX is too slow on it, for all the plugins that I've installed subsequently. This one just can't handle it. Also, I have a desktop Mac that I've had since 2007, running Logic Pro. Zero issues.
    2
  149. Pretty obvious that both branches are represented here, bro.

  150. What difference does it make? You're a veteran. That's all that matters.

  151. Man, there are some very strange people in the comments section.

  154. I bet you're BOTH pogs. Your friend has no idea what he's talking about.

  155. "I trained with Army Rangers in Alabama for a while. They admitted freely that us Marines would kick their ass. Mostly because we can shoot better and run way faster for way longer." Wow. I mean, I don't even know where to begin to dissect this drivel you just typed. There's SO much bull$hit here, it could literally fertilize a garden the size of Jupiter! I seriously can't stop laughing!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    2
  156.  @TaijDevon  I find it funny because you're full of $hit! No Ranger would EVER degrade themselves by saying that the marines would "kick their ass". Just out of curiosity...What was your mos, that you 'trained with Rangers'?? And, in what capacity?
    2
  157. Except the ARMY had this uniform FIRST, way back to before the WW2 era. So you may wanna re-think that.
    2
  158.  @saverioaureli  Roger that, sir.
    2
  159.  @mattburgess9439  I hear ya. But, I was responding to what that Agm Smith dude said. He literally said that you guys ARE part of the Navy. (And that's not a BAD thing, so don't get offended.) I really don't care either way. I'm just sick of all this sophomoric dick measuring, and inter-branch fighting. Seriously one of the most ridiculous things I've ever witnessed. Brothers in arms!
    2
  160.  SmokeKing33  Clicking on a video because a report piqued your interest, doesn't mean you care, dumbo. For example, your punctuation SUCKS! I mean, I don't "CARE" that it sucks! I'm just pointing out that it sucks! -_-
    2
  161. Hahahahaha!!! Now, why would heaven have 'streets'? Also, why the hell would heaven, full of spirits, and omnipotent super beings, need to be guarded? Who would invade heaven? LMAO!!! Stop with the embassy crap, will you? They're fkn sentries in pretty uniforms, standing a post. If anything ever happened, like armed militia, or military, decided to overrun the embassy, what would 10, or 12 marines do? Yup. They would call for backup. Don't act like they're there to quell an uprising. They're not. Also, you may want to look up the Secret Service, and the Special Police. THEY'RE the ones who ACTUALLY guard the White House/President. ALSO, also....The president flies in aircraft to carry him around like Morgan Freeman carried Miss Daisy. Don't kid yourself into thinking that it's because "we're the best......rah rah". LOL! Air Force One flies the president from airport to airport. Marine One flies the president to areas like the aftermath of natural disasters, or when he goes on vacation to Camp David. Do you see any airmen bragging about how their branch flies the president from point A to point B? Man, so many of you marines are just fkn straight up weirdos! 🤣
    2
  162. TOO many! If you value your sanity, turn back now.
    2
  163.  @danielober884  I couldn't care less about the video's 'original premise', $hit for brains. The video, and you, are WRONG. First of all, basic has NEVER been 8 weeks. It's 9. But, that's only for pogs. Infantry OSUT is 22 weeks. And yes, my panties DID shrink in the wash. But, they're STILL bigger than yours.

  164. Uhm, why does the Army need to understand this?

  166. I see. And you have first hand knowledge of army sniper school going through "woke/trans training"? What class did you attend? I mean, since you know so much.
    1
  167. Worst analogy ever. -_-
    1
  168. "the Marines can be sent in by presidential decree for smaller missions without congressional authorization." I can't even BEGIN to tell you how woefully inaccurate this is! LMAO!
    1
  169.  @echo6echo419  If that's what you think, then you're even more clueless than I originally thought. Once again, I have to school you Gomers on what the TRUTH is. The very last time Congress declared war, was some 80 odd years ago, in WWII. And THAT means, that Korea, Nam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan, were all fought WITHOUT a war declaration by Congress. So, you see, it's not that I "WANTED" to call it wrong. It IS wrong. I'm absolutely STUNNED at the amount crap that you guys are fed, and (obviously) swallow. "Force in readiness"? Seriously, WTF does that even mean? -_-
    1
  170. Meh. There really ain't much difference between the two. Especially when it comes to the infantry.
    1
  171. Infantry has never been 9 weeks. That's only for pogs. It was 14 weeks before the 2 month increase.
    1
  172.  @wyomed  Yes, because fat black women are in the infantry. -_-
    1
  173. It literally puzzles me that so many of them think this way. It's really quite comical.
    1
  174. When you learn how to spell peer, I might want to take anything you say seriously. IF a war went down with China, you can be absolutely certain, that they themselves will suffer casualties as well. Make sense, man. -_-
    1
  175.  @stevenkhan4344  So you're actually saying, with a straight face, that the US Marine Corps infantry, and the US Army Rangers, have the exact same TACSOP??? Were you drunk when you typed this? LMAO!
    1
  176. Uhm, I don't think anybody's trying to. What's your point?
    1
  177. Except that 500 meter target has far less bullet holes in it than the other targets. Marines qual at that range, but they don't have to hit it. Also, they can still score expert without ever touching it.
    1
  178. Do you really believe the US Army trains only individuals? Stay in your lane buddy. You clearly know nothing about the US military.
    1
  179. Why should he have been a marine? That makes no sense. Army infantry, and marine infantry are practically identical. -_-
    1
  180. Probably on a marine's YT channel.

  181. Well, if all you have is a nutshell, then what you say can't be taken seriously.

  182.  @saltylightning372  Seriously, though.

  183. Yeah? Explain. What "more" do they do, that the Army doesn't?

  184. Jesus H. Christ...I literally have nothing but disdain for dickhead cops! I ALWAYS assume that they're ALL a bunch of crooked, thug ass, abusing, gangster pieces of marsupial shit!!! PLUS, hearing that thick southern accent, made me think he was a racist pile of rebel excrement! I stand corrected in THIS case!! These two cops were, by FAR, the coolest motherfuckers I've seen in my entire LIFE! Completely obliterated my cop prejudice, and blew it to smithereens! Holy shit!!!

  185. But you're still a pog. So, there's that.
    1
  186. How did this SM, specifically contribute to that?
    1
  187. You just described the infantry. But, as an aside, more aggression does not win wars.
    1
  188. "So what do they do, try to make another uniform look like the Marines second dress Uniform Alpha." You do know that these are throwback uniforms from almost a century ago, right? Please know what you're talking about BEFORE you post.
    1
  189. You're confused. But, hell, I'll bite. What can the Marines do better than Soldiers? Specifically, where fighting is concerned.
    1
  190. Let me see if I have this straight. You're seriously sitting there telling us, that the winning factor is BOOT CAMP????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    1
  191.  @E-Class.Misfit  Well, that depends on your mos. The difference, where infantry training is concerned, regardless of branch, is negligible.
    1
  192. Confusing one with the other, if you're NOT in the military, is to be expected. Other than some minor bull$hit, they're practically identical. Please don't kid yourself.
    1
  193. "Strongest fighting force"? You have no idea what you're talking about. Army infantry, and USMC infantry are practically identical in every way, where the TACSOP is concerned, and I challenge you to prove differently.
    1
  194.  @eyoutube1  Not offended. The Marines were recently issued the new M27 AR, which replaced the M4. I think that the Marines being 'underfunded' is an old wives' tale.
    1
  195. " A more hard hitting, harder trained, "fist" if you will." Well, I WON'T! This is a (Marine bred) misconception that has obviously made its way to Oz. You lost me on that one, man. Marine infantry, and Army infantry are almost identical. The differences are negligible.
    1
  196. So, what's your point, Gomer? You have foreigners in here $hitting on the U.S., and all you can do is bring your marine corps crap to the discussion? Typical. You do realize that we're both on the same fkn team, do you not?
    1
  197. Exactly.
    1
  198. Yay. How nice for you.
    1
  199. Okay?

  200. If you had any idea how utterly ridiculous you sound, you'd delete this post, and fast. I'd explain it to you, but you're obviously not intelligent enough to grasp it. So, I'll just let you drown in your own stupidity.
    1
  201.  @rebelcave8556  Everything you said, I'm sure you believe. (Which, in and of itself, is sad) Except for one thing.....He's been charged with murder. So, anything you say in defense, is pretty much academic. This is completely indefensible.
    1
  202.  @rebelcave8556  It wasn't meant to. But, we saw exactly what the cop saw. That should never have happened. If cops are that scared of the citizenry, they should opt for a different line of work. I librarian, or a secretary. That woman wasn't a threat, full stop. He had not the first clue what the word 'rebuke' meant and perceived it a threat. He was in her house, uninvited. No prowler found, then leave. It's that simple.

  203.  @rebelcave8556  I never said that YOU didn't know what the word meant. I said that the COPS didn't. Also, getting her name was completely unnecessary, since you have to give it to the dispatcher during the 911 call.

  204.  @rebelcave8556  Dude, what are you talking about? Watch the video and listen to the exchange. "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" "You better not, or I'll $h00+ you in the f'kn face!" Again, if this was in any way justifiable, he wouldn't be charged with murder as we speak. Again, this is indefensible. These guys, despite what you may think, are decidedly NOT without flaw. "They will look like a wimp back at the station if they don’t have her name." Well, damn! We can't have that now, can we? The very last thing we want, is to have them look like 'wimps' because they didn't get her name. Which, AGAIN, was told to the dispatcher. You're really reaching here, bud.

  205.  @rebelcave8556  "A charge does not make them guilty of anything." Well, I mean, they're cops. So, on that, we agree. Also, unless there's a crime, the 'subject' isn't obligated to tell them tihsskcaj. Imagine your job being to uphold the law, and you're worried about whether, or not you're perceived as alpha? Make it make sense. -_-

  216. I love how you have to include qualifiers. "IF" this, and "IF" that. Can you imagine a war between the army and the marines (which is absolutely asinine), where the marines say, "we'll fight you, but only if you exclude your massive firepower". You have no idea what you're talking about. Infantry in BOTH branches is infantry. End of story. You guys can embellish, lie and talk all the crap you want. Bottom line is, the differences are completely negligible. Everyone has 'opinions'. But, marines' opinions are almost ALWAYS based on bias. Fk outta here, man! LOL!

  225. ​ @kingtiger5040  The fact that the marines opted to "get rid of their tanks" has zero to do with the army. And what exactly is "amphibious warfare", anyway? The marines are basically the navy's infantry. (Pogs notwithstanding) The marines do NOT fight on water. That's strictly navy echelon. I know it sounds bad@$$ to say "the marines are amphibious". But, the truth is, they get transportation to the battlefield, which is decidedly NOT on water. It's on LAND. If the United States' mission (Which, BTW, is FAR more important than what the marines' self-proclamation/designation is) is to call on the army for the purpose of an 'island hopping' FTX, to ready themselves for an eventual showdown with China, let them. It can only benefit us as a WHOLE. (Something a lot of marines have trouble realizing.) Fact is, irrespective of how bad marines claim to be, they ain't handling China's boots all by themselves. Not at a paltry 170,000 (mostly pogs) they're not. Without the army, the marines would be cooked like a brisket at a Texas BBQ. The NATION should come first. Not the branch. Especially since we ALL play for the same team. How you get to the fight is pretty much academic. It's what you are when you get there that matters. And that's infantry.

  226. And yet, here you are, in an ARMY video. You Gomers are seriously obsessed with your big brother, huh?

  227. ​ @rjkurtz  Speaking of adorable....I think it's cute that you actually said that the army is peewee football's equivalent. I'm actually fighting back tears, that was so precious. Where do you think this country would be, if the army just went away? Do you actually think that you could handle Russia, or China, or even Pakistan all by yourselves? Hahahahahahaha!!!!! I am an American citizen who gave a decade of his life to his country as an Airborne infantryman. And, despite the fact that you crayon crunching Gomers haven't the first damned CLUE what the term 'brothers in arms' means (much less respect), I won't say that that is something that I'd love to see. (You wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell, sonny boy.) But, you'd better believe me when I tell you....that, if you take away the marines, and our boots would STILL hold their own up against any op-for's boots on the planet. Take away the ARMY, and you'll all be in the afterlife, taking turns tugging goo out of Chesty Puller's d*ck, smearing all over your puke faces, wait for it to dry, and then peel it off and eat it like a potato chip. Now, run along, and parade your purdy dress blues down the catwalk, and tell everyone how badass you THINK you are. While the army kicks ass just like it has in every single war since this country was still peeing the bed. 🤣

  228.  @rjkurtz  Ah yes....That old uniform thing rears its head again. LOL (Yup, runway waifs parading down the catwalk...lol) We care about keeping this country powerful, and safe, leaving the modeling to the girls. FACT: The army implemented the camo (BDU) pattern FIRST FACT: The army started calling cadence FIRST (Google Willie Duckworth) FACT: The marines, to feather their caps, to facilitate promotion, go to Armor school, Jump school, Ranger school, and Pathfinder school. Name a single marine school that the army attends to feather their caps? I'll wait.... I have a funny feeling that 'dropped mic' will be picked up again.....and again......aaannd again. ;-) "Army simply stands for Aint Ready to be a Marine Yet" That would be ARTBAMY. Please learn what an acronym is, Gomer. LOL!
    1
  229. ​ @rjkurtz  Hee hee hee..... Let me rip this Gomer's jabberwocky to shreds..... "Now let’s talk about those schools huh? Why would the Marines WASTE money funding their own school when they can just go to an Army school that teaches the same thing/standard?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! If the army is SO inept, why would you GO to those aforementioned schools? That's fuzzy math! LMAO!! You talk about wasting money. Money that your poor asses DON'T have. That's one piss poor excuse, son. I LOL-ed! "But you know what DOESN’T happen? MARINES NEVER attend Army Infantry school, why? Army infantry could NEVER meet the standards and skills set by the Marine School of infantry. In a tactical competition between the two groups, Marines are the Dream Team." Is THAT what you think? Okay, Gomer....Let's roll the dice. Please explain the EXACT DIFFERNCES, in terms of the branches' respective TACSOPs, that makes the marine corps superior. This is the answer I most look forward to. "Also, Marines don’t go to Army Sniper school why? Because Marines have the most elite marksmen in the world." Is that so? Hmmmm....Then, perhaps you can explain why, since 2001, a total of ONE MARINE has won the International Sniper Competition. ONE! EIN! IL! UNO! UNE! How elite can you really be? LMFAO! Wait...Did you miss it? I say again....ONE! In fact, the latest was won by a "Nasty Girl". Imagine a Guardsman beating a juggernaut marine. Hahaha! Say it ain't so! "Marines don’t have the budget that the Army has, so we save money attending Army schools. Once we complete those undisciplined schools, we return to our own units and sharpen the loose bolts caused by Army standards." This made absolutely zero sense, man. I mean, none. You say the army sucks, is undisciplined, and inferior. How can omnipotent super beings such as yourselves, be taught ANYTHING from an inferior branch? I mean, wouldn't it be akin to little Johnny, who just got his yellow belt last week, teaching Bruce Lee self defense techniques? LOL! And while you're thinking up some nonsensical answer, that is CERTAIN to be laden with pure, unadulterated comedy, let's continue. "I have seen with my own eyes how Army dogs all yell “Follow Me” and scatter as individual soldiers." Really? You've seen it with your own eyes? I mean, just wow. This is literally like listening to a politician talk. You already know that everything coming out of his mouth is a damn lie. What unit did you see do that? Where was it? God damn, I don't even know why I bothered to even address this absolute lunacy. This is one of the silliest things you've written so far. (STILL laughing) "But my Marines only work as a team. We only become individual soldiers when we are the last one alive." Your bull$hit is actually starting to bore me. You're just not equipped with the knowledge, the intellect, nor the honesty to debate me. There are so few of you in these comments section It's almost refreshing to see marines actually give props to soldiers, and call them brothers, fighting for the same team. Though rare. You are a complete mess, sir. And a dry-faced liar, to boot. "Army uniform standards could NEVER rise to Marine Standards." It amazes me that you guys care so much about purdy ass uniforms, when absolutely NONE of that $hit matters in war. Anything that's 'different', to the marines, is inferior. Yet, if anything becomes even remotely similar, it's "WAAAAA THEY'RE TRYING TO COPY US!" You guys have no freakin clue. It's sad. Quite comical, but sad, at the same time. "Our discipline is unmatched. That’s why MARINES guard EVERY American Embassy in the world as well as the Whitehouse." "Oh, so you want props for pulling guard duty? That's adorable. I've said this before, and now I'll school YOU. The whole embassy thing? LOL! Stop it. No special infantry training needed. You're sentries. Nothing more. An old bald guy from Publicover could do it. There are approximately1700 MCESG's. Give, or take a couple, you number less than 10 per embassy. Now, pay attention, Gomer. It's about to get real, as they say in the vernacular.....If a country's military decided to bum rush the embassy, do you really think that a few marines would be able to quell them? Don't be a clown, man. You bring up this foolish $hit, thinking we're just gonna swallow it? I'm smarter than that. You should have left that crap in your head, son. You just made yourself look like a complete bozo! LOL!! As for the White House (Two separate words, BTW)....Again, that's cute, but another damn lie. I THINK it's pretty common knowledge that the SECRET SERVICE guards the White House. You guys are, again, just sentries in purdy dress blues. Kinda like nutcrackers. I bet most of those guards aren't even grunts. They grab the Gomers with the squared jaws, give them high-and-tights, and now they're supposed to be imposing figures. Hahahaha! Really now! "We are the Raiders, the Invaders, the Revenge Hammers. We are who you send when America wants to make a loud Statement." Who were the very first grunt boots on the ground in OIF? I'll give you a hint. It WASN'T THE MARINE CORPS. That bravo goes to the 3ID. And what statement can YOU make, that the army can't? How does YOUR infantry training compare with ARMY infantry training? Again, what makes them markedly different? "If you want to talk about who did what first, the French started the beret first. And the Army still uses it to this day in MULTIPLE divisions. Marines are too busy trying to look like AMERICAN warriors rather than French artists." Reading comprehension much? I never mentioned French berets. We're talking army vs. marines here, since YOU brought up who did what first. Why are you bringing up berets? LOL!! I'd bet every dime I've ever made in my LIFE...That if the marines started wearing berets first, you guys would be nutting all over them. It's freakin headgear. Get over it. "By the way, “leaving the modeling to the girls” made me laugh because even our FEMALE marines could destroy you Army brats (aside from SpecOps)." I don't think that even YOU are dumb enough to really believe that. I mean, seriously. If you are, then all hope for you is lost. You are the tard that I initially thought you were. Gatdamn, that was precious! LMFAO! "Air assault school is a joke, Ranger School is a joke. Green Beret school has lost its Umph that it once had." I see. And you've been through all of these schools to make that assessment, right? What did you do in the marines that trumped RIP? Assuming you went through it. They're a joke, yet, marines go to those schools to feather their caps. Don't know about you, but I know I wouldn't want to go to a school that was a joke. I KNOW you're just talking out of your ass. And I know that YOU know you're talking out of your ass. 🤣 "Army Basic Training is just a little harder than kindergarten now and Drill Sergeants have been castrated in terms of power and intimidation tactics. Rangers lead the way to a dead end. Marines model so we can show you how it’s done. I’m running out of mics to drop." Basic is a little harder than kindergarten? LOL!!! You truly are a remedial student. My suggestion to you is that you stop dropping those mics. You're going to waste tons of money buying new ones.

  252. The 2nd part of your name is perfect, because that's EXACTLY what you know. I say again, you Gomers are completely (and eerily) obsessed with your big brothers. Literally every single Army video that exists on YT, you are 99.9% guaranteed to see some silly Gomer in the comments section talking smack Not only that, you're not being truthful. But wait....I could be in error...Maybe you're NOT lying. Maybe it's what your DI's spoon-fed you while in boot, and you bought it without question. Maybe they told you that General Lowe uttered that quote. No Army General would EVER disrespect his own men (Who kicked ass, BTW) for some puffed up pukes, suffering from delusions of superiority. I searched the internet for that quote. Can you imagine my utter shock, when I noticed that every single link was to some Marine rag? Go figure. You guys have zero respect for your brothers in arms. Every infantry Soldier knows that the REAL hardcore training begins when you get to your PDS. You guys don't talk about anything else but boot. It's as if it's the biggest thing you'll ever do in your entire career. It's quite comical, actually. Deflate that head of yours, son. Marines aren't any better than the Army's infantry. In fact, you're exactly the same. Change my mind, Gomer. I welcome the challenge.

  254. The difference between basic, and boot (especially infantry OSUT), is that in boot, the drills scream at you while running around flailing their arms like scalded apes, and smoke you....While in basic, the drills can go anywhere from yelling to screaming at you, but will smoke you until you consider death a good alternative.

And I can assure you, with 100% certainty, that I've never, and I mean not even a single solitary time, EVER heard a soldier even HINT at finding out the minimum requirement. What unit were you in, and what was your mos? I'm gonna venture out onto that limb, and guess that you were a pog in BOTH branches. Plus, ALL soldiers would have already been privy to that information well beforehand. The funniest thing about your asinine post, was the fact that you said that it was the 'best look' at the differences. LMAO! What an absolute joke. 😀

  258.  @Pazuzu4219  Wait....Who are you? Oh, wait. Maria?? Hahaha! Looks like "YOU'RE" (not 'your', genius) a woman. And therefore, more than likely, a pog. This makes anything you say regarding Army grunts, completely moot. You're here talking about drills, and basic/boot. That's flippin hilarious!! Gomers like you literally put all of your eggs in the 'boot' basket. It's like the entirety of the rest of your military careers pale in comparison, because boot is literally all you guys ever talk about. Learning basic $hit. Adorable! Nobody cares, sweetheart. All that boot crap is cute, but real war is light years away from boot. This country, since its inception, has kicked more ass in wars, than every other nation in that time frame. And, who do you think was responsible for the lion's share of said ass-kicking? Now, before you get your panties all scrunched up, understand that I have ZERO problems with respectable Marines. Marines who are smart enough to understand that, this country wouldn't even exist, were it not for the Army. Marines who KNOW that we're on the same freakin team. But, addlepated dingbats like yourself, the nastiest of insignificant pogs, who obviously suffer from delusions of superiority, are the ones I have a problem with. And I will, at every stop, school you like your 8th grade science teacher. Now, since you're so smart, please explain to all of us reading, how EXACTLY, Army infantry gets less training than Marine infantry. And I want specifics. Please tell us how your training, where the INFANTRY is concerned, is superior to Army infantry. I'll wait.....

  264. ​ @robertoshea9825  That's one of the (huge) misconceptions that the marine corps has about the army. They seem to think the army is all slow, lumbering tanks. They don't understand that tankers are decidedly NOT infantry. Combat arms? Yes. Completely different mos? Absolutely. Introducing: 82nd Airborne Division 10th Mountain Division 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division 3rd Infantry Division 173rd Airborne Brigade XVIII Airborne Corps 10th SFG 75th Ranger Regiment 1st Cavalry Division ^^^^^ All RFD units. Contrary to popular belief among marines, not in the know, the army has "light infantry" units. I'm not faulting you, specifically. The saying holds true.....You don't know what you don't know. But now you know.
    1
  265. ​ @robertoshea9825  Discipline is mandatory in all branches. It's not up to the marines to set the standard by which the other branches implement theirs. They have to understand that different branches do things differently. They somehow consider it undisciplined to call a Sergeant First Class "Sarge". Yet, they are cool with calling a Gunnery Sergeant "Gunny". This, I could understand, if they were in basic, where that is (obviously) not tolerated. You have to be at your PDS, fully fledged, before you can even think about that. As for being weaker. In what regard? The bench press? LOL. A lot of marines think that being fit somehow makes them better shooters. They always compare themselves to army pogs. Pogs, BTW, who almost never see anything even remotely resembling combat. Very rarely do they comment on the infantry. And that's because they know that both army, and marine infantry are almost completely identical. (Some have even said redundant) The U.S. Army is arguably the most powerful army on the planet. Without us, the marines would be finished, and they know it. With all of the hardcore soldiers in the army, you have to ask yourself why you never hear them talking mess. That's because they're the SILENT professionals. The difference is, soldiers do their jobs very well....Only with their mouths shut. A lot of marines.....Not so much. A lot of them love to d:k measure. Soldiers don't do that. When you know your d:k is big, you don't need to measure. And lastly, that cute little "do more with less" thing they love to trumpet never gets an answer when asked to elaborate; Do more what, and with less what?

  266.  @AzizDoufikar2280  Totally depends on a number of factors. Not the least of which is, where the conflict takes place, and/or who's closer. The very first boots on the ground to actually fight in OEF, was the army's 3rd Infantry Division. Also, the marines, as a branch, are microscopic compared to the army. Ask any marine to explain the differences between the two infantries, where their training is concerned. I promise, you'll not get a definitive answer.
    1
  267. ​ @kennethralcock  That's cute. Except you're missing pretty significant portions of the story. (Which is something you marines are notorious for doing.) Lebanon: 14,000 boots, 5600 marines. - Lie Nicaragua: 700 marines - Miniscule conflict OEC: 118 Delta, Special Forces, and Rangers would decidedly NOT constitute a "large army force" - Exaggeration (Please watch a documentary on what went wrong, then come back and tell us how the marines would have fared any better in that situation) Monterey: 50 marines, 100 sailors - That was not a war, it was a street fight. I was able to research every instance you pasted. Looks like you copied them from a marine-biased rag. Not ONLY were almost every one of them ancient history (We're talking 1, to 2 CENTURIES ago), they were so miniscule. Most of them would literally be like calling your 6 foot7 inch big brother to fight your middle school bully. You really want props for that, man? You really want to try and vilify your own brothers in arms for some glory-by-association, that you will never experience? AND, you want props for 10-12 marines, per embassy, standing a post representing some bada$$ery of which only marines are capable? Try handling Russia, or China, or even NK WITHOUT the army, and see how well that works out for ya. Unreal! -_-

The only ones concerned with the Marine Corps, IS the Marine Corps. But, I digress...The Army is just going back to its world war roots. They're the ones who started the drab service uniform. They just changed over the years (which, admittedly, they shouldn't have.), whereas the USMC did not. At the end of the day however, our goal, first, and foremost, is to protect this nation, and obliterate enemy combatants. Pretty uniforms are cool...But we're military personnel...Not models on a friggin catwalk.

  284. One of my units was mechanized Infantry. My PltSgt, Company 1SG, BatSGM, and even BdeSGM, were all ex drills, and tabbed. 5 mile runs every PT, almost CONSTANT FTX's! We were hard charging animals! I never envied the Marines. EVER! We trained with them during Reforger. Literally zero difference in our respective TACSOPs, and methodology. The Marines are literally a fraction of the size of the Army. So, even their pogs think they're 0311s. (lol) So, it's a lot easier for them to adhere to the 'culture'. Cooks, and Network Admins are FAR less likely to be 'gung ho, kill everything'. Because....Well....They're pogs. They're not expected to be that way. But, combat MOS's??? Completely different animal. (At least in MY experience.)

You should carry around a potted plant with you everywhere you go. That way, you can replenish the oxygen you're obviously wasting. Kids, if you're reading this, this is why you stay in school.

  321.  @MG-wk2eh  I knew you didn't do your homework. But you took the bait anyway. You have no idea what you're talking about. This much is certain. Army officers don't have to be tabbed, and can still be PTLs. You have to have a Bachelor's degree to be an army officer. So I have no idea where this "higher standard" crap you're spewing even comes from. YOU said: "The entrance standards to be an Officer are much higher than the standards to enlist. Educational, fitness, etc." Whenever I see "etc", that means the person probably knows nothing more. I asked for SPECIFICS, and YOU give me 'etc'. Pffft. I compared OC standards for both. And, from what I'M reading, that "MUCH HIGHER" standard you spoke of eludes the $hit out of me. I'm not seeing it. I swear man, I don't know why so many of you Gomers think you know everything, when you don't know jack. Take my advice, sir. Do some actual RESEARCH! And make sure you do it BEFORE you post. That way, you won't look like a clueless clod.

  334. You literally couldn't be more wrong. The terms that Marines commandeer, and subsequently flip, to make them seem "different", is hilarious. If you familiarize yourself with the actual definition of an "expeditionary force", you would know that all four major branches are just that. If you leave your own land to go fight in another, you ARE an expeditionary force. -_- The whole winning battles, vs. winning wars thing, is incredibly silly. Especially when you come to realize that the U.S. Army fights, and wins battles too. History is replete with examples. Conversely, the U.S. Marines help fight in wars.
    1
  335.  @scottkain8977  Four years? E-4??? That's cute. But, hardly accurate. 😀 "but at my level of service we must categorize everything into mission designations so we don't step on each other's toes." I'm seriously trying to make any sense of this. If you delete the term "expeditionary force" from your Marine Corps lexicon, do the Marines suddenly go away? Mmmm....I'm gonna guess no. But, the Marines using it to describe what they do, exclusive of the other branches, again, TO ME, is silly. And, let's say, for S's-n-G's, that the term IS erased.....Please explain how, exactly, toes would get stepped on.
    1
  336.  @scottkain8977  I never said that it wasn't a beautiful institution of killers. (TBT, I like that description FAR more than the whole expeditionary force crap) My only beef with (mostly pot ass) Marines, is the fact that the overwhelming majority of them suffer from delusions of superiority. What they fail to grasp, is that fighting with each other is completely asinine. We are brothers in arms, full stop. I'd rather fight the enemies of our country, than a Marine. Even those nasty pigs, who think they're more highly trained than an Army grunt, just because they got yelled at in boot. (And trust me, they're out there, in HUGE numbers. You only need to peruse this very comments section that you're in right now, if you don't believe me.) Not even remotely accurate...But comical, nonetheless. ;-)

  338. We are coming to the end of the year 2022....And you Gomers STILL believe, that the USMC is SO badass, they're the only ones (all 180,000 of you...70% pogs) that can be called to military action, without congressional approval. LMFAO! Hate to break it to you, buddy boy, but there hasn't been an official declaration of war, by the United States, since 1941. And THAT means, Korea, Nam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan, were all wars with NO congressional declaration. In those aforementioned wars, I'm fairly certain that all four branches participated. I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Educate yourself BEFORE you post, son. That way, you won't look like Bozo. -_-

    1
  343. ​ @truenreal365  That's utterly ridiculous. And that's irrespective of which 'perspective' you take. I'd never use a hypothetical like: "Who would win in a fist fight, me, or my brother?" Why? Because I'd NEVER fight my brother! EVER! As a no-longer-serving US Army Airborne infantryman, I'd never fight a marine, a sailor, or an airman. Because we ALL play for the same team. Only pog marines get into silly $h1t like this, because they know they'd never actually be called to fight. Grunts know the deal. My suggestion is that you, and the rest of your fellow marines try to understand that US soldiers are NOT your enemy. You're part of the reason the rest of the world is laughing at us. 😑
    1
  344.  @truenreal365  That is, if you ever even served.

  345. ​ @truenreal365  Man, you are a real character, huh? Maybe "YOU" do, but I have never fought with my brother. That's some $h1t you just don't do. But, let me take that off the table. You're talking about fighter jets. That ain't no fist fight, chief. I submit to you, that the US Army, and USMC aren't fighting each other in a real combat EVER. So you can toss that crap right out the window. Now, curiosity is getting the better of me. So I'll ask just two questions. (Even though I KNOW I'm gonna get a tihsllub answer).... Question 1, and 1A. - When did soldiers shoot at you by mistake, and where were you? Question 2. Are you seriously telling me, that the entirety of the marine corps is pissed off at ALL soldiers, because 1, or two of them shot at you accidentally? That's hilarious! Man, if tihsllub was cheese, you'd be Wisconsin! LMAO!

Please pay attention, because school is in session.... Your cute little quote by General Vessey read, that there were THREE army regiments being "pinned down". A regiment consists of 5,000 men. X that by three, and you have around 15,000 troops. Now, be careful, because I don't want you to hurt yourself. In TOTAL, there were 1500 enemy troops on the island. Please explain how 15,000 army troops were "pinned down" by 1500 enemy boots, when the TOTAL NUMBER of American boots on the island was just 7000????? The conflict lasted 4 days. Read that again, sir. And slowly. I'll wait for your response........

I'm going to do my damndest not piss him off again, and get my $hit together, before they find me face down in the Chattahoochee!

  368. Stop your bellyaching, kid. You have no idea what you're talking about. Every army grunt knows that the REAL hardcore training begins when you get to your PDS. Basic is just that.....Basic. That said, infantry drills are still very much in your face. They're playing nice, because this is scripted, and they're being told what to say, and what to do. But, the very instant those cameras stop rolling, it's hell on earth. (Ask me how I know) Despite what this silly video is showing, the United States Army is STILL the most powerful army on terra firma. Say what you will, but I bet you'd rather be anywhere else on the planet, than the enemy downrange.
    1
  369. "The real difference between the Army and the Marine Corps is attitude..." Actually, the biggest difference is that the marine corps gets the job done, but wants every lifeform that exists on the planet to know about it. The army gets $hit done, but doesn't expect props, and fanfare. We're the silent professionals. "we are smaller than the Army. We usually get second-hand gear." Second- hand from who? Is the M27 'second-hand gear'? "And the Marine Corps trains leaders, with more responsibility and freedom to make decisions at lower ranks than the Army, with a Corporal having more authority in the Marine Corps than an Army Sergeant." Well, it is clear that you have very little knowledge of the US Army. This is FALSE, sir. A marine corporal does NOT have more 'authority' than an army sergeant. (I think you need to learn the difference between authority, and responsibility) You call it "training leaders", when the truth is, it should be called 'the-overwhelming-majority-of-marine-corps-personnel-RARELY-stay-longer-than-their-initial-four-year-commitment-so-there-are-fewer-prople-to-lead'." "It stands to reason that it takes longer to run our 3-mile PFT than the Army's 1-1/2 mile." Actually, it's TWO miles. You're confusing us with the USAF. "You failed to take into account that Marines are more likely to be in better physical condition as well as being used to carrying more, faster, and for longer periods of time than Army grunts except for maybe Airborne or Special Forces personnel." LMAO! This is hilarious! A grunt is a grunt, sir. And that's irrespective of branch of service. But now my curiosity is piqued. Please explain what SPECIFICALLY you carry, that is heavier than what army grunts carry. Also, how MUCH faster do you guys run with gear? Did you have a race, or something with army grunts to see who could run longer, and faster? Man, this is great!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, here's what Google told me: Marines: Japan – 18,000 Europe – 1500 ME – 3,000 Africa - 300 South America – 300 Oz – 2,000 Soldiers: Asia – 129,000 Africa – 1,000 Europe – 100,000 South America – 384 ME – 35,000

  380. "That could be helicopters or fixed wing aircraft. That is something else the Army doesn't have." You obviously posted this without doing so much as a shred of research. If you really think that the U.S. Army doesn't have its own aviation element, to include fixed wing aircraft, then you're clueless. There's this new technology. It's called a search engine. Seek it out, and use it. It would have saved you from posting this. -_-

  381.  @paulwilson8672  Wow, man. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. How are Marine units "faster to deploy"?? Have Marine aircraft been equipped with warp engines that can break the light barrier? I had no idea. "America's 911 force"? That's hilarious. I guess you've never heard of the 82nd, the 101st, the 10th MTN, the 3ID, or the 75th. Fair enough. If that is true, look them up, and educate yourself. Lastly, to 'Orange' transport with another service shouldn't be considered a slight, when you're trying to win wars. (Which, our country has done since its inception.) What you Gomers fail to fathom, is that, the United States military's branches are NOT enemies with one another. We're on the same team. The sooner you realize that, the better. So many of you think that you're superior. You're not. That's a FACT. Reconcile yourself to it. You'll be better for it. -_-

What you silly, disrespectful Gomers need to understand, is that the US military's respective branches are not enemies of one another. This is not a d* measuring contest.

Please tell me that all 165,000 of you (70% pogs) would be able to handle their boots all by your omnipotent selves, so I can laugh hysterically at you. We can win without you. But you CERTAINLY can't win without us. You'd do well to remember that. While you're at it, you might wanna show some respect to your brothers in arms, bud. ;-) ps. On no planet in the solar system, are marines even remotely close to being better than Rangers. But, I do thank you for the good laugh! 🤣

  412. ​ @LeatherneckJoe133  That's one hell of a picture, son. Unfortunately, it was painted by a rank amateur, who hasn't the foggiest idea what he's talking about I'm guessing you were either chaptered out, or, you were a pog. Marine pogs are funny in that, they're always the ones who like to fancy themselves as hardcore juggernauts, and have the biggest mouths, when they've NEVER lived the life of a grunt. In fact, the only thing they talk about incessantly, is learning basic $h1t (boot). I say this because only a clueless pog would say that the marines go in and wipe everything out, only so that the army, whose infantry BTW, is every bit as capable as marine infantry, can go in, and 'hold the beachhead'. That's ridiculous. IF you were infantry, then you would know that that's not what we do. But, you're probably young, and this is the drivel that your DI's force-fed you in history classes while at boot. So, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Either way, you couldn't BE more wrong if you wanted to be. Educate yourself BEFORE you post, sir.
    1
  413. ​ @LeatherneckJoe133  Well, then I stand corrected. And I do thank you for your service to this great nation. But you're still wrong. I've seen footage of soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War. I never saw them "holding" jack. They were deep in the $h1t, battling. "if you know anything about the US Marines you know that they are grunts first then they’re secondary MOS comes in" What I know for a fact is, unless you're an 03, you are definitely NOT a grunt. Going to the range once a year, does not an infantryman make. (Not even close) That's just some bull$h1t marine pogs love to say, so they can feel like they're hardcore infantry.  Also, when soldiers go through Basic Combat Training, they're taught 'BASIC' infantry tactics. As you can see, the "C" in BCT literally stands for COMBAT. And every single soldier will go through it. And that's irrespective of mos. But, unlike marines, pog soldiers KNOW that they're pogs, and don't try and convince the entire world that they're infantry, when they're decidedly NOT. And, to answer your question, yes. I was US Army Airborne infantry. 11 Bravo was my mos. You're never too old to learn something.

  414.  @LeatherneckJoe133  Copy that, sir.

  419.  @spazman8675309  That's fair. It's kinda like how I'M never surprised when Marines talk shit about the Army on literally every single Army (US military) video on YouTube. I'll make it clear, and easy to understand....Infantry is Infantry! And that is irrespective of which branch you're on about. The differences are negligible, full stop. That whole 'ready to fight anytime, anywhere' thing is absolutely NOT exclusive to the USMC. The Army has its own RDF's. The beachhead thing....It's over. It's not even really a thing anymore. It always tickles me when I hear Marines talking incessantly about beaches, vs. inland. HOW you get to the A/O is completely irrelevant. It's what you do when you GET there, that's important. It takes no special Infantry skills whatsoever, to ride on/in watercraft, while en route to the battle. Army Infantry is just as capable of striking hard, and fast, as the Marines. If you doubt that, go to the search window, and type in: 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Airborne Division, 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Infantry Division, 75th Ranger RGT., 18D, and many others. Look at their training, or combat footage. Once you've done that, then talk to me about hitting hard, and striking fast. If you missed it, I'll type it again.....INFANTRY IS INFANTRY! Change my mind.
    1
  420.  @spazman8675309  "since I have to spell it out, the navy and marine corps are on scene first, Uhm, that would completely depend on where the campaign is there, champ. So, you "spelled it" wrong. I re-read your initial post. I don't think the word "analogy" is used in the proper context. But, whatever. You're still wrong. If the Army, and Air Force are capable of, as you say, 'larger', and 'wider spread' attacks, then why would the USMC even be necessary? Now, I'm not saying that you could not have amassed knowledge of ground fighting SOP's of the respective branches....But....well.....let me put it this way, I'm not gonna talk about what the Navy does, never having SERVED in the Navy. Especially when I have no idea what I'm talking about. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING depends on the mission at hand. But, I do respect, and prop you for serving as a gunner. :-)
    1
  421. Let me see if I can get some clarity here. Your mission, was to link up with the Army, just to secure a 15 mile area? Was it some type of competition? Was that all the training consisted of? Was it 15 miles on a straight shot? Or, was it 15 SQUARE miles? Were you in vehicles, or on foot?

  422. What exactly, is 'amphibious warfare'?
    1
  423.  @blaircolquhoun7780  That's nice, but it didn't answer the question. I'll try again....What is amphibious warfare?
    1
  424.  @blaircolquhoun7780  I've always believed, that that is an absolutely asinine description for the Marines. Amphibious warfare literally means warfare on the water. That doesn't even remotely close to describe the Marines. That distinction belongs to the NAVY. Riding on watercraft, to get to the fight, is simply that. You're just getting a ride to the 'land' on which the infantry is going to fight. Literally nothing to do with anything amphibious, in terms of actual warfare.
    1
  425.  @blaircolquhoun7780  It doesn't. I maintain, that how you get to the fight, whether it's via watercraft, aircraft, landcraft, or teleportation beaming, is irrelevant. The infantry does not conduct warfare "on the water". It conduct it on LAND. So, the term "amphibious warfare" is not only a misnomer, it is misleading. Again, you're using amphibious craft to get to the land to fight. They may as well call it amphibious transportation. Because really, that's all it is.
    1
  426. Spot on, man. Most marines are clueless clods, suffering from delusions of superiority.

  432. @ I'm sure you did.

  433. The reason that difference wasn't mentioned, is because, like the Thylacine, it doesn't exist. That literally would be like saying that the difference between Granny Smith apples, and Gala apples, is that Gala apples taste like chicken. Not even close. Also, as for the army being slower.....Well, there are a pretty sizable amount of army units that would vehemently disagree with you. Among them, would be the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, the 10th Mountain Division, the 3rd Infantry Division, the 1st Infantry Division, the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and the 75th Ranger Regiment. ALL of which are RDF, light infantry units. The problem with a lot of marines, is that they think that the army consists exclusively of lumbering tanks. Tankers are NOT infantry. I always get a kick out of that 'we do more with less' crap. That's an old wives' tale that just won't die. Along with the army's mission statement being to 'hold ground'. Absolutely hilarious. I really wish you guys would know what you're talking about before you post. Army infantry, and marine infantry are practically identical. Oh, and BTW, overwhelm is one word, not two.

  434.  @superpont  Whose truth? Yours? That's hilarious! If not knowing what you're talking about was a crumb off of a cake, you'd be an entire bakery. Spellcheck literally tells you that the word you typed was wrong, but you ignored it, and typed it anyway. And yet, we're supposed to believe what YOU say? Gut-busting hilarity, man. LMAO! Kids, if you're seeing this, this is why it's important to stay in school.

  436. You have no idea what you're talking about, Gomer. The marines are getting softer too. Unfortunately, YT doesn't allow links in its posts, or I would show you where scores of marines have said that today's corps is SIGNIFICANTLY weaker than when they went through. Get a clue.

"Why don't you look up devil dogs." I did. A snack cake, with cream filling. "During I believe the Vietnam War the US had to investigate the marines for the number of head shots they were getting." Another marine bull$hit story. That never happened. Do you really think the United States would "investigate" the marines for headshots in WAR? Especially when napalm was being used? How about bombs, and rockets that reduce enemy fighters to barbecue beef tips?? And you're talking about headshots??? LMFAO!! You can't be that dumb! "The government thought they were lining them up and executing them. Turns out they were just giving long range labotomies at a rate the US government didn't previously know was possible." Oh. I guess you CAN be that dumb. LOL!! "Normandy, all that needs to be said about the US involvement in that war." That's pretty vague, man. But, I'm gonna write that off with the rest of the drivel you've written thus far. "All depends on your definition of winning a war. I think the US has gotten exactly what it's wanted from every war its fought. The rest is just theater." Yes, because men dying is 'theater'. Either way, you're off topic. Please try and focus. "Every time the marines are let off of their very short leash, they come back with a new name the enemy has given them." Ah, yes. Like oft trumpeted teufel hunden? LMAO! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard. You guys need to stop all these embellishments, and straight out lies, man. I lived in Germany for a combined total of 4 years. I've NEVER heard of such lunacy. No confirmation. Zero. You guys love to lie your asses off by making up cute nicknames for yourselves, then have the effrontery to say that enemy combatants actually gave them to you because of your 'fierceness'. Riiiight. Well, we're hep to your game, Gomer. People are smarter now, and information is much easier to get. Nobody's buying your bull$hit anymore. The only time I EVER see crap like this, is in marine rags. No other source has ever been confirmed. "You tell a marine to get it done and you don't care how, it gets done period." Pretty sure you haven't cornered the market on that one, Gomer. The same can be said for ALL branches of the US military. You're just too jaded to see it. "The main problem currently is very restrictive rules of engagement." ^^^^ Literally the only thing you've said that makes any sense whatsoever. My question goes unanswered. US Marines are good. Just like every other branch of the US military. But you're (marines) no better than any other branch. Full stop.

When are you clowns gonna get it through your thick skulls? We don't CARE what the Marines need, or even do. Different branches do things differently, whether you like it, or not. If you DON'T like it, we don't give a $hit. You're perfectly free to NOT click on ARMY videos, and stick to perusing USMC vids. If you choose not to, fine. Just don't be shocked when soldiers clap back. Have a nice day.

  486.  @Rasdawg915  You don't sound very intelligent at all, man. And I'm being as nice as humanly possible when I say that. The only rivalry between the army and the navy, are their respective college football teams. That is not culture. That's fanaticism, and is to be expected. There is no rivalry militarily between the army, and the navy. Mostly because they're different militarily. If you did serve in the army, my guess is, you were a pog. Because if you saw my screen name, you wouldn't have said that I spent zero time in. Different branches do things differently. If that's an epiphany for you, then I don't know what to tell you. That shouldn't be 'shocking' to anyone with even half their brain functioning. What you marines don't seem to grasp, is that all four branches of the US military play for the same team. Different 'positions', but same team nonetheless. The sooner you understand that, the better off you'll be. That rivalry thing is stupid.

No facts, just opinion. Face it, man...There is no discernable difference between Army infantry, and Marine Corps infantry, as it pertains to their respective TACSOPs, and how they conduct warfare. And I defy any ONE of you to prove differently.

Now, you don't really think those 10, or 12 marines, if the host country's army decides to overrun the embassy, would have a snowball's chance in a pizza oven, of quelling that attack, do you? I mean, if you do, let me know. I'd love a good belly laugh. 🤣

  512. Only pog basic is 10 weeks. Infantry (which is what counts) basic is 22 weeks. Has been since 2018. Also, infantry basic (OSUT) before the 22-week version, has always been 14-16 weeks. So marine boot has never been longer than army infantry OSUT. For some reason, marines seem to think that support soldiers are the same as combat arms soldiers. Nope! The more you know.....
    1
  513. ​ @mrg09211976  If that's true, then perhaps you can explain why, for the entire 22-week cycle, you have the same mean @$$ kill hats, screaming at you, calling you everything but a child of God, while smoking the ever loving $H1+ out of you. If your mos is 11 Bravo, you're going to Benning. And there, you will STAY, until you graduate 22 weeks later. If you're a marine, and you've not been to Benning, it's best you keep what you THINK you know to yourself. Because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. -_-

  515.  @MillerEP1  So, you're telling me that there are 2,200 Marines, whose sole purpose is to be aboard that ship, just waiting for a war to break out? That's hilarious!
    1
  516.  @MillerEP1  You said: "By the time they get there, we'll already be boots on the ground welcoming them to their new airfield we got them." Give me one instance in RECENT history, where that happened? Also, you really think that 2,200 Marines is a formidable force? I mean, maybe if there was a conflict against East Timor. But, what would those 2000 Marines be able to do against Russia, or China? Stop acting like you guys are any faster at RDF's than the Army. If you're already off the coast of the hot spot, of COURSE "SOME" of you will be there first. If we race in the hundred meter dash, and you start 50 meter mark, guess who will finish first. I mean, that's not rocket science. You guys act like you're there first ALL the time. ("We're first to fight...Yay") Nope! The 82nd, as a DIVISION, can be on the ground anywhere on this planet in 18 hours, or less. Also, in OEF, the 3ID was the first infantry unit on the ground. Infantry is infantry. Change my mind.
    1
  517.  @MillerEP1  Nope! In October, it was the CIA, with both US, and British SFO's. The first infantry unit on the ground, to FIGHT, was 3ID. Not sure why you're including a withdrawal. That wasn't a war.
    1
  518. That literally made no sense.  What is it about riding on a water vessel, disembarking said vessel, and going ashore to fight, that makes them the "main fighting force"? Also, what if the conflict is well inland, or WAIT.....What if the country is landlocked? You guys are too much!😂

  519. ​ @emmanuelzozobrado5981  If being completely clueless was speed, you'd have to be measured in warp factors. You called marines soldiers. That tells me one (or both) of two things..... a. You've never served b. If you did serve, you were a pog. You're up here talking about a war that was fought damn near a century ago. Stop it, man. There hasn't been a beach assault on foreign land since the Korean War. I'm literally stunned that so many of you think that beach assaults (rare as they are) makes marines some kind of T-1000 robots, or some $h1t. How you get to the fight is completely irrelevant. It's what you do when you GET there that counts. Also, the biggest beach landing in our country's existence, was conducted by the US ARMY. So please don't talk to me about history, since you're obviously bereft of any knowledge of it. I used to think you guys were comical in your cluelessness. But now, it's actually kinda sad that so many of you are misinformed dolts. Holy smoke! 😲

  526.  @yusdesoto3975  If you think, for one millisecond, that kill hats can even remotely simulate the stress of real war, I have some beautiful tropical beachfront property to sell you in Des Moines. Again, the REAL training begins once you get to your PDS. However, the training in OSUT is awesome, despite the powers wanting to eliminate screaming/name calling.  There were no kill hats during WW2. And look how the US kicked ass in that war. Drills screaming bloody murder is relatively new. I, personally think it has its place. I experienced it. I like it. But, at the risk of being redundant, it is not the be all, end all. You can STILL be a killer without kill hats all in your face.

  529. There are approximately 115,000 schools in the United States, vs. 4 MM's.

So yes, saying that this will test their ability to function under extreme situations is completely accurate.

  532. You do realize that no branch is better than the next, right? You do realize that all four branches are on the same team, right? You guys are up here crying about basic training, like it's the be all/end all of your entire military career. Ask any combat arms personnel about what happens when they get to their PDS. You know, AFTER basic. Ask about the training therein, and how it compared to 'basic' training. You people are hilarious.

  535. Soldiers, and marines are literally one and the same. The word marine simply means of, or relating to the sea. When you get to the land to fight the enemy, as a NATION, you're no longer on the sea. Therefore, you're just like soldiers. Nobody really cares what you call yourselves.

  572.  @glizzygoblin-nl2uh  Career based? Uhm, but wouldn't that depend on your respective MOS? And, amphibious is not really a thing. I mean, I hear ya...But, as soon as you get off that watercraft, you're Infantry. How you get to the fight is not really that relevant. I mean, especially where actual combat is concerned. We're not talking about Network Administrators, quartermasters, and cooks. We're talking about Infantry. No real difference.

  574. "The army gets all the funding so they have a larger force." You seriously think the reason the army is bigger, is because they have 'all the funding'?
    1
  575.  @T_81535  Then you're not very smart. Educate yourself, then get back to us. >___<
    1
  576. ​ @T_81535  Sure. Let's dissect your drivel. "The army gets all the funding so they have a larger force." ACTUAL percent of the budget allocated to the branches: Air Force - 30.3 Navy - 29.9 Army - 22.9 "The marines get very little funding so cant recruit as many troops." WRONG! Marines get little funding, because they're under the Department of the NAVY. Which means they (Navy) have to SHARE it with the USMC. "Thats why the marines demand only the best because they cant afford to have a bunch of idle hands in there ranks like the army." It's "THEIR". And what the hell are 'idle hands'? Please don't tell me that you think there are no pogs in the marine corps. LOL!! "The army has just as many capable troops as the marines do but they also have many that are not as capable." Capable of WHAT? "Not as many shit bags in the Marines." Well, when your size is only a paltry 180 odd thousand vs. over a million, you will probably have fewer 'shit bags'. That's just math. But remember, pogs don't need to be hard chargers. That's not their job. Duh? But, infantry to infantry, the differences are negligible. Full stop. "The army believes that even a retard with a pair of hands can be useful in some way where as the marines cant afford said retards because they dont have room in there ranks for them." Again, it's 'THEIR". And, judging by your post, clearly they do. Also, have you ever heard of Marine Corps Intelligence? What about Marine Corps Corps of Engineers? No? WAIT, have you ever heard of a Marine Corps doctor, or surgeon? Please! Don't talk to me about retards, son. "Marines 150,000 strong and the army is 700,000 strong." Your numbers are slightly off. But, okay. -_- "They dont call it the army for nothing." You're damn right they don't. And I suggest that you don't forget it. We will ALWAYS be your big brother. You need to thank whatever deity you worship, that the US Army exists. Because without it, your chances of beating countries like China, Russia, and even NK, are absolute zero. So, show some respect, Gomer. "As far as platoon on platoon id put my money on the marines" yawn. And, let me guess. Stipulations, and governors must be put in place, right? Yes, we'll fight you (Which, BTW, would NEVER happen.), but you can't bring any of your technology, and overwhelming firepower. GTF outta here! LMAO! "but if it comes down to force on force the marines have zero chance." Again, it would never happen. So all you can do is speculate. You Gomers just don't seem to get it. We play for the same team. The sooner you learn that, the sooner you can put down your ruler, and stop with the silly dick measuring. Because dick measuring is only for guys with small dicks. Now, how's THAT for 'logic'?!

Please try and focus. You seem to have missed the point, so I'll try just once more. The uniform is just that, and nothing more. It's what you do in battle that counts. Besides, when the next war happens, no soldiers will be wearing the Pinks and Greens on the battlefield. If you're expecting every military member to not break the monotony at some point during their hitch, then I have nothing more for you. If you served, you'd know what I'm talking about. My gut is telling me that you have not, and I'm probably wasting keystrokes on you. Live more life, sir.

  584. Maybe you should have educated yourself BEFORE you posted, Johnny boy. Infantry officers: OSUT - 22 weeks OCS - 17 weeks BOLC - 7 weeks YOU do the math. I say again, infantry to infantry, the differences are negligible. Change my mind.

  593.  @jodie4609  With all due respect, I don't think you understand what's afoot here. Please study up on the US Constitution. Specifically, the 4th Amendment. As a free (cough) American, you can move about, uhm....freely. Cops cannot demand your 'papers' like they did in Germany, back in the 30s/40s. There has to be a CRIME. Of course, you can give up those rights, because you figure, "I've done nothing, and I've nothing to hide". But, the problem is, if enough people are bereft of any knowledge of said rights, power-tripping cops will become more brazen than they already are. ID's are like opioids to them. But, unless you've committed a crime, you owe them nothing in the form of identification. People are becoming more aware of that, and they don't like it. "You look like you MIGHT be a criminal. So, papers please?" That's not how this country works. Not at all. We have those rights for a reason. If you choose not to exercise those rights, fine. I have no issue with it. But you shouldn't have an issue with the ones who KNOW their rights and exercise them. Like an auditor said...."Rights are like muscles. If you don't use them, they go away". We cannot EVER let that happen. Cheers.

Crayon is not a brand name, and therefore, doesn't need capitalization. Once again though, you're dead wrong. I never "MADE" the comment. I simply responded to yours. "You must be suffering from server case of Marine Corps envy." I think you meant "SEVERE" A "SERVER" is one who provides a service, or a network resource. Three times a charm, bud. You're wrong again. I was US Army Airborne infantry. Please tell me how jealousy is anywhere within 5 kiloparsecs of my person. What was YOUR mos? "I guess you’re making up for some SHORT comings."

  617.  @thagr8121  That's a piss poor example, sir. The M1 Abrams tank entered service for the US Army in 1980. When the Gulf war started, it was barely 11 years old. Also, the only real difference between the M1, and the M1A1, was the main cannon went from 105, to 120 mm. It was STILL an M1, which is a damn good tank. Stop bitching. The size of the army dwarfs the size of the marine corps. Which means, so is your budget. And if the budget can't allocate, then guess what, you ain't gettin' it. You have to share said budget with the navy. So don't blame us. Just be thankful you didn't get the M60. -__-

  619.  @achaean7615  Not buying, sir. Sorry. But, I'm willing to be educated. What SPECIFIC gear did the army give to you? Also, since you're under the DoN, the lion's share of the budget will invariably go to them. But, that's not our fault. As stated in a previous post, the M27 is practically brand new, and definitely NOT a hand-me-down.
    1
  620.  @achaean7615  "the army gave us tanks in the 90s," HUH?? Wait.....Did you expect the DOD to make tanks especially for the USMC? That makes no sense. What tanks did they 'give' you? "we practically shared the same uniform with the army in the early 1900s up until the 40s," Battle uniforms are made for battle. And since there are TWO infantries, what sense does it even make to NOT share battle uniforms, since we're both on the same fkn team? When will you guys get that through your heads? It's not a competition, FFS. -_- "we only received any newly developed weapons AFTER the army had tested and fielded them consistently in our history," I'm trying to make sense out of this. Did you want the weapons BEFORE they were tested? Still though, A 'newly developed weapon' would NOT constitute a "hand-me-down". "same goes with new vehicles with the obvious exception of amphibious vehicles and that one f35variant, this includes rifles like the m1, m14, m1 carbine, m4 m16, smaw, saw, m1 Abrams, Chaffee, not to mention kit, like ballistic vests, pouches etc etc" WHICH new vehicles?

  621. ​ @achaean7615  "firstly, the two uniforms makes a difference, it is a matter of distinction, identity and morale for that fighting force, particularly so for the marine corps bc they take great pride in distinction, furthermore it is also a means of testing different camos, seeing what works and what doesn't. But finally having your branches own uniform actually means something when your the marine corps, a branch the army has been trying to write out of existence due to their own short comings.. failures and envy.." Unbelievable. What "matter of distinction" will be relevant, when you're trying to obliterate the enemy? Or, better yet, when the enemy is trying to obliterate YOU? Do you really think Russia, China, or NK cares what the American military's uniform looks like? Are you even serious right now? Get outta here with that bull$hit. Also, you have no idea what you're talking about. This much is certain. You really think the army, which is more than THREE TIMES the size of the marine corps, is trying to get rid of the USMC? When the MC was on the chopping blocks, that was a BUDGETARY concern which, BTW, resided in the purview of the Department of Defense. The army had zero to do with it. Educate yourself. The fact that you have the lowest budget is not the army's fault. You're part of the NAVY. Which means you have to share their budget. If you don't get state-of-the-art kit first, don't get mad at us, and start throwing 'words like 'failure', and 'envy' around. (LMAO!) That's ridiculous. "and your point about the Abrams is nonsense," Not really, when you're the one who mentioned tanks. But, okay. -_- "I know the dod wouldn't find a tank just for the marine corps.. except for tye fact that they also funded our osprey and AAVs, which already renders your point null," Ospreys, and AAV's are not tanks. So you may want to rethink that 'null' figure. "but while the army got their new tank, we still rolled with old Vietnam Era equipment." The army is bigger, has a MUCH bigger budget, and therefore, will get $hit first. If that's the fly in your milk, punt.

  622.  @achaean7615  "I guess the thing that isn't clicking for you, is that it's not that we are receiving literal hand me downs, it's the fact that 'hand me down' is a figure of speech which illustrates the fact that we field new equipment only years after the army has," Cry a little harder. You can't change the definition of the term. Sorry. Again, if your budget dictates that you have to wait years for new kit, bitching won't get new kit rolled out to you when the army gets it. And talking $hit about the army CERTAINLY won't. "and that most of the equipment we have now is shit.." And whose fault is that? "that's why we say we only get hand me downs," sigh. -_- "and even still the corps makes better use of hand me downs then the army" It's "THAN". If you're gonna talk $hit about your brothers in arms, at least be grammatically correct. Also, explain to me exactly HOW they make better use of -cough cough...hand-me-downs.

Please pay attention, because school is in session.... Your cute little quote by General Vessey read, that there were THREE army regiments being "pinned down". A regiment consists of 5,000 men. X that by three, and you have around 15,000 troops. Now, be careful, because I don't want you to hurt yourself. In TOTAL, there were 1500 enemy troops on the island. Please explain how 15,000 army troops were "pinned down" by 1500 enemy boots, when the TOTAL NUMBER of American boots on the island was just 7000????? The conflict lasted 4 days. Read that again, sir. And slowly. I'll wait for your response........

  651.  @DepressedCrayonEater  First of all, 'bread' is something that you eat. I think you meant to say 'bred'.  Second, a dog's bite force is endemic to its breed. You can't train it to bite any harder than it is capable of biting. The German Shepherd being more 'controllable' as you put it, is a testament to its superior intelligence. In fact, only Border Collies, and Poodles (2, and 1 respectively) are smarter than Shepherds. Staffordshire PBT's are not even in the top 20. Point is, whether it's army infantry, or marine infantry, the differences between the two are microscopic.

  652. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  I mean, I realize that you were probably force-fed this garbage by your drill hats while in boot. But, saying that the marines have a monopoly on 'most brutal and close quarters engagements' is just silly. (And I'm trying to be nice) Do you really think the generals look to see whose soldiers are the most brutal, and then decide that that engagement will go exclusively to the marine corps? Do you even hear what you're saying? That's one of the silliest things I've ever heard one of you say. Wow, man.

  653.  @DepressedCrayonEater  I'd say that 90% of the marine corps' reputation, is told by the marine corps. All infantry is trained the same. You're no better. Again, that's just something you're going to have to accept. I know the truth can sometimes sting. But, I promise, you won't die.

  654. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  I wish you would condense your retorts to a single post. You're all over the place, and I simply don't have the time to tear apart your dialog, as I have $h1t to do. So, I'll do what I can. YOU said: "Culture, values, tradition, and brotherhood is what binds an army or a Corps together You underestimate its value.."  Well no $h1t. But I still fail to see how tradition can win a war. I mean, you're just not making any sense, man. The military literally exists to fight wars. What other soldiers, or marines did a century prior is completely irrelevant. I promise you, your history will not be thought of when you're getting fired upon. "Not only is the army far larger it is also not structured and organized like the Marine Corps" Please explain this, specifically. Structured/organized in what fashion? "and therefore cannot perform the mission of the Marine Corps at the same proficiency level that the Marines can by definition." Please tell us what the marines do that the army can't do. "The Marines are the best at what they do. The Marines are more akin to shock troops due to the fact that they are inherently more mobile and responsive than the Army by design." "Shock troops"? LOL I honestly believe you guys just throw words around having no idea what they mean. The US Army HAS to be big, with MASSIVE firepower. How is this news? What do you think all of that tradition, and culture of the US Marine Corps would do against a huge power like China, or NK, or even Russia? Do you honestly believe that all that "rah" crap will beat them alone? You act as if the entire US Army is sent in one big bag. It's not. Yes, we're huge. However, the 82nd Airborne Division for instance, is an RDF unit. It can be anywhere on the planet in 18 hours, or less. And, last I checked, no boat that has EVER existed, can move faster than a plane. And before you start with the marines being on boats thing, save your keystrokes. You number anywhere from 30 to 85 individuals. Not exactly what I'd call formidable. Say whatever you like, man. But, I'll tell you what I've told scores of marines like yourself. You'd better get down on your knees, and thank whatever deity you worship, that the United States Army exists. Because if it didn't, and a war broke out between the aforementioned powers, you'd be wiped clean off the face of this planet before you could say Peter Piper. We can win without you., but you CERTAINLY can't win without us. So show some respect to your brothers in arms, bro. We're NOT your enemy. Although, for reasons that will forever remain a mystery to me, you certainly ACT as though we are.

  655.  @DepressedCrayonEater  "I would also argue, as an organizational whole, there is a much greater emphasis on basic infantry skills across every MOS within the Marine Corps as compared to the army." You would lose that argument, sir. After your pogs are finished with MCT, you don't ever see it again. But, if you're gonna make claims like that, I'd ask for hardcore proof. Otherwise, you're just billowing smoke.

  656. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  "If we are going to compare boot camp, to army basic, every transfer from another branch must go through Marine Corps Bootcamp. With a few exceptions, Marines can transfer to any branch and skip their basic training. It is a different and in some cases arguably higher standard." LMAO! BANG! I KNEW it would only be a matter of time before the boot argument reared its ugly head. So, here I go again.  Let's talk about boot, shall we? You know, the thing where kids who probably still pee the bed, go to learn basic $h1t? Please get a grip, man. Do you know why prior service members have to go through marine boot? It's because it is MARINE CORPS POLICY. They think that they're going to be shook at the sight of those screaming DI's. That's hilarious. Only teenage kids are scared of drills. If I, an ex grunt decided to go to the MC, you think I, a grown man, would be shook by marine drills? Hahaha. Man, please. The other branches are smarter than that. They know that it is a complete waste of time, and money to require people whose DD-214's still have wet ink, to go through basic. HOWEVER, if you're out of service for more than three years, and you decide to go army, guess where your ass is going....Yup, BASIC. And that's whether you're a marine, or not. Don't get it twisted. If an army grunt decided to jump to the MC, fresh off his ETS, he would literally walk through boot. Stop the insanity, bro. This is getting crazy. Hahaha!

  657. ​@aspectrum You keep harping on those cute little 'phrases', when we all know that pogs are NOT infantry. I just told you that every soldier goes through basic combat training, yet you don't seem to grasp that the rifleman thing is not exclusive to the marine corps. This is part of the disconnect. You guys are so wrapped up in your phrases, making you think you're all supermen. Wake up, man. You guys have to attend MCT/SOI, because you all get almost zero real infantry training in boot. The overwhelming majority of your 12 weeks (Yes, I said 12. Not sure why you guys always include reception as part of boot, when you're not training. You're processing) is getting taught how to be military, breaking you of civilian life, history classes, a little range time, a week of swimming, and an absolute incessant amount of drilling. (This is why you're so good at it. You're not magical. You do it constantly, until it's spewing out of your earholes.) So don't act like MCT is some hardcore extra combat training. Again, you get almost none while in boot. You're cherrypicking the story. Pog basic is 10 weeks. Infantry OSUT is 22 weeks. AIT is for things like MP's, Intelligence, medical, Information Technology, etc. All support mos's. The army's infantry alone is larger than the entire marine corps.

  658. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  LOL! You're expecting me to believe that an MEU vessel is packed with 2000 marines, whose job is to float around on the sea just waiting for s**t to go down? Maybe you can enlighten me. Wouldn't that be like an Airborne unit just flying around on an airplane waiting for a war to start? I thought the MEU, like Airborne, was loaded "pre" deployment for an impending crisis. Either way, what if nothing happens in those "hotspots", but a crisis occurs thousands of miles away? Is the MEU near the South China Sea going to engage its warp core to zip across the sea? Or, maybe the navy is now equipped with teleportation capability. Sure, IF there's a crisis in a 'hotspot', you're already there. Duh.

  659.  @DepressedCrayonEater  "In regard to the 82nd airborne being anywhere in the world in 18 hours, it’s not the whole division, it is a singular brigade combat team. " Uhm, a division is a unit. And IN that unit, ALL mos's are included. So, even if you're a cook, and you're attached to the 82nd, you will still wear the patch. When the 82nd is called into action, pretty sure that doesn't include the pogs "attached" to the unit. A division consists of 15,000 individuals. A brigade, 5,000. Pog basic was increased from 9 to 10 weeks. We never include reception. I never said that YOU said that pog marines were infantry. But, you keep harping on that riflemen phrase, as if it ONLY pertains to the marine corps. It doesn't. A g a i n....ALL soldiers are trained with the rifle. AND, are BASICALLY combat trained. So, by your definition, they would be considered riflemen too, would they not? If the answer is yes, then I'm confused why you would even bring that up.

  660.  @DepressedCrayonEater  "As I said, with a few exceptions Marines can transfer to any branch without going through that branches basic. That is not the case for every other branch transferring to the Marine Corps. You might be a hardcore Airborne Infantrymen, respect, but the Marine Corps doesn’t care. If you transfer, you will start out as a nasty know nothing recruit , and earn your place like everyone else." What the marines "consider" you, is not relevant. If I go to the marine corps fresh out of Airborne infantry, trust me, I know how to fight. Going through boot wouldn't mean a damn thing to me, and, as "I" said, would be colossal waste of time. I literally would be yawning all the way through it. But, you keep believing that boot camp (i.e., learning basic s**t), is the be all, end all for your entire military career. That's precious.

  661.  @DepressedCrayonEater  What I "talk like" is a non-issue. When I said that, I was generalizing. Maybe YOU didn't say it, but scores of marines have. But, don't take MY word for it. Click on an army video, and check the comments section. It's there for thine own eyes. ;-)

But, you certainly can't win without us. Remember that.

  666. ​ @lamoe4175  That's nice. But, the problem is, those marine supply clerks, networks admins, truck drivers, JAG personnel, and spoons all think they're hard charging grunts. And why? Because they all finished boot. Not impressed. The difference is, army pogs KNOW they're pogs. They don't try to pass themselves off as big bad Billy Badasses. Not even close. Most marines think they're better than everyone else. All they ever talk about is boot, boot boot. Learning basic $h1t. Once they get to their units, the only time they ever see anything even remotely close to combat, is when they go to the range to re-qual once a year. The marines number LESS than a hundred seventy thousand. A good 70% are pogs. The army has close to a million. The army's infantry/combat arms ALONE dwarfs the size of the entire marine corps. So, yeah, you guys can sort of afford to be cultist weirdos, because of your paltry numbers. After all, you're the navy's infantry. Pogs notwithstanding. But, make no bones about it, you and I BOTH know, that in the event of a war with a real threat, you guys would get wiped off the face of the earth without the army. Fitness, standards, screaming DI's, and those Purdy dress blues all don't mean jack $h1t in war.

And that's irrespective of branch of service. That literally describes every military base on foreign soil. Marines are literally the Navy's infantry. That whole thing about the US Army being built to hold land is a ridiculous wives' tale. I was Army infantry, and I can't remember a single thing in my training, that even remotely resembled holding land. Our mission was to go, when called upon, and obliterate the enemy. I never held any land. You'd have to look through a microscope, to see any difference whatsoever, between Army infantry, and USMC infantry. Completely negligible.

  725. That's cute. You should put that on a sign, and march with it downrange.

  727. "instant military on dail" The 101st Airborne Division, 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, 10th Mountain Division, 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Infantry Division, 173rd Airborne Brigade, 11th Airborne Division, 1st Cavalry Division, 10th SFG, and the 75th Ranger Regiment have all entered the chat, and vehemently disagree with you. The more you know.....

  728.  @ljmorris6496  You are now 0 and 2. Are you sure you want to swing at the next pitch? Please know what you're talking about BEFORE you post.
    1
  729.  @ljmorris6496  1. You said that the marines are "instant military on dail" (assuming you meant dial) Pretty sure you're referring to RD. Every army unit I mentioned, is an RDF unit. 2. You said that the army has neither winged, not watercraft....Wrong. 3. The 82nd Airborne Division obviously does not have jets, or ships. But you said that the "ARMY" does not, and you were wrong. But don't take MY word for it. Look it up yourself. 4. What you (and a lot of marines) never seem to be able to understand, is that the four branches of the US. military play for the same team. It is NOT a competition. When the enemy is trying to vanquish us, they do not pick and choose which branch to go after. Enemy combatants are enemy combatants, IRRESPECTIVE of what their uniform looks like. They don't care, nor SHOULD they.

  731.  @ljmorris6496  Please explain specifically what "instant military on dial" is.
    1
  732.  @ljmorris6496  I seriously think there's a communication gap here. So, I'll try just once more. Please concentrate and take your time reading. YOU said that those units do not have their own aircraft, watercraft. But the ARMY indeed DOES have them. What the units are, is irrelevant. Does the army have its own C-17s, and C-130s? Of course not. But, you'd better believe that they're there for use at any moment in time. There are currently 7 MEU's. Now, let's say, in some wild scenario, that the United States had to go to war with China, IN China. It's only an example, as I realize this would probably never happen. BUT, if it did, and there's an MEU off the coast of Japan, which, at its closest point, is 2000 miles away, how long do you think it would take to get there? No worries, I did the math for you. An MEU's TOP speed is around 27 MPH. My math tells me that it would take them 3 days to get there. The 82nd Airborne Division can be anywhere on the planet in 18 hours, or less. So yes, they are very much "military on dial". THAT, my friend, was my point all along. The fact that they have to use the air force for transport is completely irrelevant.

  735. Uhm, China has almost 3400 fighter jets. The Marines have a TOTAL of 297. Not exactly an air 'force', now is it? The Marines, in TOTAL, have about 180,000 people. More than 85% of those are POGS! (Now, watch, as he PREDICTABLY mentions that crap about 'every Marine being a rifleman.) The sooner you guys stop swallowing all the bullshit you're fed, the better you'll be for it. You're not some omnipotent super beings, capable of kicking the whole world's ass all by yourselves. You're fkn MEN! You really expect anyone reading this to BELIEVE, that 2200 Marines (MEU) can "stand alone"???? Against WHO? Liechtenstein?? Man, you guys are freakin HILARIOUS! LMAO!! Did you even serve? Educate yourself BEFORE you post stupid, untruthful shit!
    1
  736.  @Ezees23  I'm not disputing a single word of what you wrote, man. I get it. MY problem with a lot of Marine pogs is, they think that just because they shot at pop up targets in boot, that somehow makes them Infantrymen....And that's not even remotely close to accurate. But, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not crapping on pogs. Without them, we grunts can't do jack. I just don't like it when they try to pass themselves off as being these omnipotent juggernauts. It's ridiculous. And, as an aside, every single Soldier, irrespective of MOS, MUST do "BASIC" combat training, and learn to shoot. BUT, I say again, they are NOT INFANTRY! That's a whole different ball of wax, trust me! I've lived that life for YEARS, so I know what I'm talking about. Stay safe.

  737.  @Ezees23  Solid copy, sir.

  738. Not exactly shocking, considering it's mandatory for kids to learn it while in school.

  739. CLEARLY you've never served in the Infantry. WTF does the coast have to do with it? LMAO! I've got a newsflash for ya, bud. It doesn't take special skills to ride in watercraft. Because once you dismount, guess what you are....INFANTRY! No difference! Man, you guys are hilarious!
    1
  740. Guess you've never seen the Army infantry, or the 82nd Airborne Div., or the 3ID, or the 10th Mtn., or the 101st Airborne Div., or the 75th Ranger Rgt. Fair enough.

  741. How exactly are they 'more trained'?
    1
  742. How, specifically, do they receive "better training"?
    1
  743. What the hell are you talking about?
    1
  744. In terms of the branches' respective infantries, how exactly are marines trained differently? Also, I seriously doubt the people calling DI's DI's, are gonna stop just because you don't like it. -_-
    1
  745. ​ @shawnwitte2279  They teach drill, they're Sergeants....Drill Sergeants. The word instructor is implied because of what they do. As far as most people are concerned, they're interchangeable. Getting insulted is just silly. I asked for specifics where their respective infantry TACSOPs are concerned, and you're up here talking about boot camp, where kids are learning basic stuff. That's precious. After reading your last sentence, it is crystal clear that you know absolutely 'ttihs kcaj' about the army, and I literally wasted keystrokes on you. The truth is, you don't have an answer, because you know you're so full of bat guano, it's gushing out of your earholes. Have a nice day, sir.
    1
  746.  @shawnwitte2279  Yes, because civilians use words like 'TACSOP' willy nilly, right? LOL That "title" is only a big deal to marines. Yay. I hope you have fun with it. But here we are 5 posts in, and you've STILL yet to answer a very easy question. But, at this point, I know it's useless. You simply don't know. 😀 And lastly, under the realization that you can be anything you want to be on the internet, take a look at my screenname. If you still can't figure out that I indeed DID serve, then my initial thoughts about you were spot on. If you did serve, I'd be willing to bet money that you were a nasssty pog. Faaahk aahdda here, son. Oh, and pimple pie to you, too.

  748.  @shawnwitte2279  And speaking of 'difference', when are you gonna break down the TACSOPs of the two branches' respective infantries for us, Mr. Title-holder? Still waiting......
    1
  749.  @shawnwitte2279  So that we can stop this madness, "ELEVEN BRAVO" mos is INFANTRY. Now please dispense with the me being a pog talk. That's out the window. Now, let me dissect this..... 1. The United States Army is decidedly NOT an "occupying force". You may want to have your Commandant update the shpeel your DI's spoon-feed you while in boot, and actually tell the truth. Understand that army infantry and marine infantry are almost identical. Unless you guys are secretly absorbed into the Borg collective when you get to boot, you're MEN. Just like soldiers. 2. You say you lost one battle, then you say the army lost one. But you're strong for losing one, and the army is weak for losing one. That makes no sense.(BTW, there's no such word as "looses")
    1
  750. ​ @shawnwitte2279  Plus, there are 170,000 marines. (70% pogs) The army is over a million. The army's infantry ALONE dwarfs the size of the entire corps. Now, I can see your having a 'we're-omnipotent-superbeings' attitude, if you were to go up against nations like Andorra, Liechtenstein, or Togo. But, ask yourself this question....If the United States were to go to war with the likes of China, Russia, or even NK, and the army DIDN'T participate, where would you be? Wait, don't answer. I'm pretty sure you already know. IF you're being honest. So you'd better pray, and thank whatever deity you worship, that the army exists. Because without us, it'd be goodnight nurse. You NEED us, but we certainly don't need you. You'll do well to remember that. Why you jelly jars can't seem to understand that all four branches of the U.S. military play for the same team, I'll NEVER know. You guys are hilarious. Not very bright, but hilarious just the same! LOL!
    1
  751. ​ @shawnwitte2279  Group Name - Aerosmith Album Name - Aerosmith Track Number - 3 I know you guys hate being the little brother. But, it's what you've always been, and it's what you'll always be. So you embellish stories, and straight out lie about the goings on in war. And why? Because for marines, they could give LESS than a $**= about the country, or their countrymen. Glory for the United States is secondary. It's glory for the corps first, and you'll stop at nothing to achieve it. Even vilify your own brothers in arms. Truly a pathetic lot. You can say that you'd be better off alone. But you know that if the 'tihs' DID hit the fan, you know you couldn't win without us, and that just slices you to the very marrow of your bones. But, you know that the army will always have your back. Because for us, it's AMERICA first. Not the branch. You can afford to embellish stories, because you know we're here. Admit it, man. Without us, you're finito. So, if I were you, I'd show some respect. ;-)

  764.  @mr.clean419  How were you able to ascertain, via text, that I am bitter just because I asked you a question? I hope you're not paid to think. Because if you are, you're probably hungry. Let me guess, you've never served in any branch. Am I right?
    1
  765.  @mr.clean419  How nice for you. A master's in military history is amazing, man. Only I'm afraid that it doesn't negate the fact that your thinking that the marine corps regular infantry is even remotely close to the army rangers, is funnier than Richard Pryor, and George Carlin combined.
    1
  766.  @mr.clean419  Again, if you extrapolated bitterness from a statement (via text), then I have nothing for you. Oh, and all that smarmy stuff won't work with me. You'd literally have a better chance of taking down a fully grown bull elephant with a spitball. I'll pass on your book(s), sir. Thanks for the offer, though.
    1
  767.  @mr.clean419  This just confirms my initial observation. You haven't the first clue what you're talking about. Look up Eleven Bravo on Google......Wait.....On second thought, don't. To show you just how bitter I'm NOT, I will save you some time. 11 Bravo (my username), is decidedly NOT a pog mos. 🤣 Also, an educated person would know that when you say, "I could care less", that means you actually care. The proper term is that you "COULDN'T" care less. Man, you're learning some stuff today, man. And for absolutely no charge. Cool huh?
    1
  768.  @mr.clean419  So now you think that a person, who's never been in the shit, is a pog, AND a boot? I don't think those words mean what you think they mean. LMAO! BTW, you're dead wrong. But I do love the way you assume things just by text. A master's degree (riiiight), and is still about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. And I love the way your demeanor suddenly whirled 180 degrees about. Now you're all mad AF. Did I trigger you? This is hysterical. 😀

  769.  @mr.clean419  And now he's bipolar. Holy smoke! 😲 What's worse, he now has to resort to soliciting another man's wife. This, ya gotta see to believe.

  779. Have you served in an Army Infantry unit? My guess is, no. So don't post, unless you know what you're talking about.

  780. They were wearing this uniform almost a century ago, Gomer. Educate yourself.

  781. That, quite literally was the lamest analogy in the HISTORY of analogies. You have no idea what you're talking about. "Culture".....LMAO!

  782. Then you should probably keep quiet. The Marines are NOT a "special force". If you actually served, you would know this. What you 'believe', and what is FACT, is all that matters. Wow, man!

  783.  @harshglare5017  You said that Marines "know how to act". That LITERALLY is an irony tsunami. Tell ya what, champ...Put US Army in the search window, right here on YT. Click on any video. No, seriously, ANY one! I will promise you one thing, it will be FULL of Marines who "know how to act". (haha) Pfft. Come back to me when your Marine brethren are able to show respect to the other branches. Which, BTW, keep this country safe as a WHOLE. Where would the Marines be, if every branch that stupid, disrespectful Marine pogs shit on, suddenly disappeared? You don't have to answer, as I'm sure you already know. But, why am I even responding to you, when you've never even served? Now I feel slightly less intelligent for having done so. You have no clue what you're talking about. -_-

  807. The magic word here in "imo". Because, if you're basing your opinion on fkn MP's, then you've missed the boat. How about actual Infantry for Infantry? You guys are hilarious!

  810. @ "Why do you think the USMC is the only branch that can be deployed anywhere in the world without the approval of Congress? Marines are sent into the worst situations, with the worst equipment, and get the best results." You're completely FOS. First off, I was army infantry, and I don't remember holding a damn thing for the marines. What sense does it make for the army, and its absolutely massive budget, to have all that firepower to play sentry? That's hilarious! I wish you guys could hear yourselves. If I had just five bucks for every time I read this (copied/pasted) bat guano that you guys spew on SM, I'd make Elon Musk look like a pauper. The worst situations with the worst equipment?? I seriously can't stop laughing! Oh, and I suggest you familiarize yourself with the War Powers Act of 1973. Maybe you guys will stop that "we can be deployed without congressional approval" thing. Because it is decidedly NOT true. LMAO!

  815. Sorry there, Vincey...But you're woefully inaccurate, and have absolutely no freakin CLUE what you're talking about. 1st. That $hit about the Marines going in, taking the land with overwhelming force, and then the Army coming in to setup forts, is hilarious. Absolute bull$hit....But, hilarious just the same. In all my years of training in the infantry, I've literally never seen anything even remotely resembling setting up a fort. (LMFAO!!) 2nd. I'm calling bull$hit on your "Had plenty of vets from other branches, Army included, say to me, "I wish I would have joined the Marines." thing. Cool story bro. But, I'm not buying. I've seen abused pack animals who are treated better than you guys in the fleet. This is why so many of you finish your 4 year hitch, then jump ship to the "Nasty Girls". THEN, you said: "The fact that you didn't, for the purposes of the conversation, tells me [you know] you took a softer route - for whatever reason - and now regret missing out on the chance to be a part of a very special fraternity. I've yet to know of a Marine who wished he would have joined another branch. Semper Fi." Hahahaha!! I think it's cute the way you try to sound all tough, and intelligent, when it made no sense whatsoever. What was YOUR mos? Be honest....You were a pog, huh? (Now watch, he'll say the same old tired bull$hit that all you dumb pog ass Gomers say. "ALL Marines are grunts!" Pure, unadulterated comedy! :-D ) Lastly, the Army DOES have camps, as WELL as forts, you nimrod. CLEARLY you posted this absolute drivel about the Army, with zero knowledge of it. Yup, another dumb Gomer, suffering from delusions of superiority. yawn -_-

    1
  822. Expeditionary literally means a military that is sent to fight on foreign soil. Pretty sure all four branches of the U.S. military have done just that. I will never understand why you guys think that this is something exclusive to the marine corps. Army infantry, and marine corps infantry are practically identical. Culture, and mindset are words that marines love to throw around. That's cute in garrison, but they mean absolutely nothing on the battlefield.....Where it counts.
    1
  823.  @YoungEli9  Well there's where you're dead wrong, chief. I, too, love every branch. The only thing I have against "some" marines, is the fact that they shit on their brothers in arms, and think that they're the only branch of the U.S. military that can fight. But, don't take my word for it. Click on literally any army video that exists on YT, peruse the comments section, and take a shot of gin every time you see a marine therein talking shit. Nice knowin' ya. One team, one fight.
    1
  824. And why would they need to do that?

  825. And you think that the ripped one was ripped just "because" he was a Marine? No other factors are afoot, eh? Come one, man. You're smarter than that. You HAVE to be. -_-

  826.  @MrStaybrown  What kind of 'hard training' are you talking about?

  827. Yes, and the REASON is, it is MARINE CORPS POLICY. If you think there's any other reason, then you're probably a SPED. Get a clue, Gomer. You have no idea what you're talking about.

  828. Tanked? That's cute, except for two things......: 1. They haven't even been in the league for 30 years 2. 2008 - Made post season (Won 97 games) 2010 - Made post season (Won 96 games) 2013 - Made post season (Won 90 games) 2019 - Made post season (Won 86 games) 2020 - Made post season (Won 40 games - 60 games played/Covid) 2021 - Made post season (Won 100 games) 2022 - Made post season (Won 86 games) 2023 - Made post season (Won 99 games)

  829.  @OptionsAnalysisPro  Not a Rays fan, genius. So you failed on that one. Also, I'm not a Floridian. So now you're 0 for 2. Care to go for the trifecta? My math tells me that 1998 to 2024 is 26 years. Please don't talk about failed education systems until you learn to add, and capitalize the first word to begin a sentence. ;-)

  834. Take a look at your post, and please tell us how we're supposed to decipher that hot mess that you wrote. What's even funnier, is that you actually edited it. That can only mean that it was an even bigger mess initially. What an absolute no go you are. LMAO!!
    1
  835. 100% wrong. If you knew anything at all about the army (And it's quite clear that you don't), you would not have typed that last sentence. Now, look at the acronym BCT. Any idea what the "C" stands for? Well, let me clue you in. It stands for COMBAT. Yup.....Basic COMBAT Training. And every single recruit will go through it, irrespective of his/her mos. "So while the Army is using up their ammo, the Marines are taking out Army guys with their ammo." ^^^ This, I'm not even gonna address, because it's SO inane. -__-

  838.  @DavidBenner-cy4zl  All that is nice (even though I don't remember asking you about any of it), but none of it is relevant. Plus, in no reality known, or UNknown, would the marines, and army ever fight. They both play for the same team. These cute little videos are made for nothing more than clicks, and sophomoric discussion. But please, do tell us what your accolades, experience, and children's service bring to the table where this asinine question is concerned.

  850. Why would we have to go to an airborne unit? You do know that not every soldier is going to be assigned to one, don't you? Also, there are 'leg' units in the army that kill it. Among them, are the 10th MTN, 3ID, and the Big Red One, to name a few. All VERY capable. And how does squad leaders only, having NV's make them better trained? I've literally read marines' accounts in the YT comments section, who've served in both branches' respective infantries, who've said that there wasn't a plug nickel's worth of difference between the two.
    1
  851. The problem is, videos like these, which seem to be a byproduct of what they're spoon fed in boot, by their DI's. What's REALLY sad is, they actually believe this $hit.
    1
  852. Here we go again, with the "Marines take the area, and then the Army holds it." Absolute hogwash. The differences between USA infantry, and USMC infantry, are negligible.

  864. And YOU obviously don't realize that all four branches play for the same team. Also, if you don't think that the USAF supports ALL boots on the ground, irrespective of branch, then you're not educated, and were more than likely a pog. That is IF you even served.
    1
  865. Please explain, SPECIFICALLY, how they're superior. Also, in which units did you serve?
    1
  866. Yeah, a throwback uniform from nearly a century ago, is copying the marines. What a maroon. >___<
    1
  867. I think it's pretty funny how marines think that soldiers can ever know what goes on in the marine corps if they weren't there. But, marines certainly know what goes on in every other branch, because all you ever see are comparisons. "Keep in mind a DI isnt going to get physical on camera." But, of course, the same can't be said for the DS, huh? You guys are hilarious.

Now, by all means, if you wanna puff your chest over barely post-pubescent kids learning basic $h1t, well......whatever gets your hard on, champ.

  892.  @saverioaureli  I was just curious if you actually know that good marksmanship skills are not exclusive to the marine corps. Despite what they'll have you believe.
    1
  893. "People I know that were in the Army say that they were in the Army, People that were in the Marines say I am a Marine." "Saying" that they're marines is irrelevant. Nobody is gonna look at a 65 year old man, saying that he's a marine, and think that he's actually on active duty. That's just some weird $hit that they say to try and be different. They still don't seem to get, that we're on the same team.

  894.  @donaldsmith1055  I get it, and I still say it's silly.

  896. ​ @agmsmith4079  Sweet mother of Jesus! There's so much false information in this post, I seriously don't even know where to begin!!!! 1st, ever hear of something called Army Aviation? Also, please dispense with the whole amphibious crap. What special skills do you need to ride on watercraft, as transportation to your objective? You realize that, as soon as you dismount watercraft, you're fkn Infantry, right? How you get there requires no special Infantry skills. Marines report directly to the president??! Bro, are you DRUNK? WHO told you that? LMAO!!! This is HILARIOUS!! "The DOD had to setup SOCOM in order to compete with the Marines." ^^^ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I literally feel like I lost IQ points just by taking the time to respond to all this garbage!! I'm literally STUNNED how much bullsh*t you guys are fed, and swallow!! Just wow!!!!!!
    1
  897. ​ @agmsmith4079  Sure, pal. Let's play! There are actually SEVERAL ways to get all that equipment overseas. I'll give you two. 1. United States Air Force/United States Navy. As we're the United States MILITARY, we have what is called, a SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP! Now, I know you're a little challenged intellectually, so I'll make it easy for you! Symbiosis basically means that two different species are mutually beneficial to one another. To dumb it down even further, it's a one hand washes the other/you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours deal. Get it? lol! "Sailors/Airmen, we know you guys don't do any ground-fighting, so we'll take care of it for you. All we ask is that you give us transportation to the A/O. You will? Cool! You guys rock!" ^^^ THIS, because we're BROTHERS IN ARMS, and fight for the SAME F*CKING TEAM!! A concept Gomers like you fail miserably to grasp! TOGETHER, we keep our country safe! There's none of that gay crap you Marines are notorious for...Like dick-measuring. Soldiers are kinda like that old Eddie Murphy stand up clip. When your dick is big, you don't NEED to measure it! You just know it is! LOL! There's none of that, "if it wasn't for us, you couldn't take the fight to the enemy!" Know why??? Because that is LAME! If we can't take the fight to the enemy, the enemy can't get its ass kicked! DUH! 2. Please Google USTRANSCOM. If your STUPID ass didn't know (and I'm pretty sure you DIDN'T!), the US Army ALSO uses PRIVATE transportation companies to get to the A/O! So, thank you US Navy, and USAF!. (Notice I didn't mention Marines. You guys are pretty much useless when it comes to transportation.) And you can kill all that crap about how you're part of the Navy...As if you should get some kind of props. Especially when all you do is talk shit about them! "Yeah, we're the Department of the Navy.....The MEN'S department!" Sound familiar?? LMAO! I'm an all pro when it comes to this shit! You're way out of your league, son! So, as they say in the vernacular....You better recognize! Also, I wanna know where you got that drivel about the Marines reporting directly to the president!!! I actually woke up this morning, STILL laughing at that shit!! LMFAO! OH...And how SOCOM was established to compete with Marines!! OMFG!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! BTW, I hope the popcorn was delicious! LOLOLOL!!!
    1
  898.  @agmsmith4079  Ho...Lee...Shit! You are, without a doubt, one of the dumbest people I've ever interacted with on YT! Marines actually DO use the USAF to transport their tanks overseas!!! If you DOUBT me, read it yourself.......WAIT for it.........MARINES DOT MIL!!! M-88A2's, and M1 Abrams tanks are carried by AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT, you absolute dolt! Sooooo....How much of a shit show is it to interact with the USAF! LMAO!! Please do your homework BEORE you post, bruh! You just made yourself look like a fool!! LOL!! Wow!!

  899. That's right. THE most powerful 'army though' on the planet. Let me guess....You're a marine pog who took time out to click on an ARMY video, where there isn't another Gomer in sight, just so you can talk bat guano while mounted safely on your keyboard steed. Did I nail it?

  900.  @ata5855  11 names? Hahaha! Google Italian American mobsters and see how many hits you get. Also, do you think that those eleven names worked alone? Get a clue. The overwhelming majority of Americans have jobs....Period. "If Italians were nothing but criminals, I doubt they'd be considered "white" in the USA." Yes, because there were no white criminals back then. And it doesn't much matter what they're "considered".....Italians are indeed white. Imagine thinking that you can somehow change the race of individuals, based on whether, or not they commit crimes. -_-
    1
  901. Boot camp is just a nick name. If we're being honest, NEITHER branch has boot camp. The marines' basic is officially called "recruit training". The term is interchangeable for all services, since they're all boots. You guys just get hung up, and all bent out of shape over the most miniscule poop. -_-
    1
  902.  @billstocker6216  I don't think I did. Again, it's a nick, or secondary name. It's not official. Either way, you're wrong. Army - Basic training/OSUT Marines - Recruit training Navy - Recruit training Air Force - BMT Also, in the army, it's called head gear, not a hat. The head is a naval term that you guys took when they created you. It's nautical. In the army, it's called a latrine, not a bathroom. And trousers are trousers. No idea where you got your info from. But, it appears that your 'attention to detail' comes up a tad bit short of factual.
    1
  903.  @billstocker6216  How nice for you. But nobody cares that you went to boot camp, and I certainly don't care if you're a marine. You're still wrong.

  911. Well, fortunately, no one cares what you think. So, there's that.

  912.  @M-3-L-O-N  " From the point of view of folks in my country, Americans are spoiled, and don't understand the concept of hardship" ^^^^ Your words, correct? Yet, you have the absolute effrontery to type the word "childish". I mean, the irony can't be overstated. -_-
    1
  913.  @M-3-L-O-N  Whose fault is it, that "Americans have it easy"? Are we supposed to feel guilty because we have more than the less fortunate? Pretty sure Americans dish out more aid to poor countries than you could possibly fathom. Are we perfect? Parsecs from it. But don't try to run a guilt trip on us. "This isn't about me." You're SO RIGHT. It's NOT about you. It's about you, and anyone who feels the way you do. And what I said stands, as well. We don't give a sweet sloth's SHIT about what you think. I promise, we won't lose a wink of sleep. Worry about YOUR country, and we'll worry about ours. And, as for this shark attack thing. Don't get it twisted. Irrespective of whether, or not a shark attack is, or isn't a thing, will mean absolutely nothing. Because if you, or anyone else thinks that that will factor in, where firepower is concerned.........Well........I wouldn't. Have a nice day.

  915.  @sukebanichigo7331  No disrespect intended, but, maybe he's never heard of the 82nd Airborne Division. Or, the 101st Airborne Division. Or, the 173rd, 3rd ID, 1st ID, 10th Mountain, or the 75th Ranger Rgt. Pretty sure it doesn't get more "blunt" than that. Therefore, the Army can (and does) do both.
    1
  916. Please educate yourself BEFORE you post. That way, you won't look like an idiot. Infantry OSUT is 22 weeks long. And that's NOT including reception. We don't include that, like you Gomers do. You're clueless.

  923.  @jeremyfrancoisthemaddtrapp7538  The flaw in your cute little blurb, was that I can pretty much guarantee you that every "Army boy" you heard say that was a pog. Grunts would never say that, because we stay in our lane, and don't care anything about marines unless, and until we have to fight together. It's always marines who obsess over the army and what we're doing. You hardly ever see soldiers chiming in on marine videos. But man, marines are literally all over army videos.
    1
  924. "Farting around"? That's precious. Why do you marines think that every other branch of the US military needs to be like you? I have a newsflash for you, champ. The only ones who care about what, and how marines do shit, are marines. The problem is, you're always running your mouths talking about other branches. It stupefies me that you're always looking over the fence. Apparently, your DI's left out the part about how all four branches play for the same team, and are NOT the enemy. Worry about you, and soldiers will worry about soldiers. Oh, and the simple answer is, 170,000 compared to over a million. According to your own website, JUST LIKE the army, the senior enlisted person for a company, is a First Sergeant. IF you have E-6's running companies (And, I'm calling BS), then that means you're either woefully short of E-8's, or you're an AJ. I suggest you stay in your lane, bruh. We didn't get to be the most powerful army on terra firma by worrying about how the USMC handles its (no apostrophe necessary, BTW) 'promotion process'. -_-
