When I was serving in Guam in the Marine Corps I had the duty on November 10th 1986. Our commander wanted to run a direct drill on the front gate and I was giving the starring role of the the sweeping team. I was fire team leader and was hauling ass with my combat gear and I broke my knee to the point of "fubar". The next day at naval hospital Guam they stuck a needle in me and I became a drug addict for the rest of my life I had dreams of fighting wars being a hero ended up a drug addict sad but true. Don't feel sorry for me my path was for me to walk and walk it I did now I am on the other side and I am doing okay. My God above has spared me from the endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I used to be bitter because I thought I missed my chance to be a hero but now I realize no sane man would ever wish combat on himself. Respect for all of our Young warriors who have come back and now face hostel citizens who don't respect what we do or what our country stands for . They are killing themselves at an alarming rate now that they realize they have fought an unjust war for a corrupt government in foreign lands where they killed people who never should have died .PTSD is real and is plaguing our veterans like a cancer . God bless and help them all .

Trivia. During the war of 1812, the British attacked and burned DC. They left one group of buildings standing…the Marines barracks. Because the USMC were the last to leave DC, protecting other troops and civilians as they evacuated from the British Invasion. Those barracks stand today.

As a retired CWO4, I appreciate the video and what it means to me and all Marines everywhere! I have to laugh, however, in seeing Soldiers, especially the Old Guard, Seals, Special Ops, Airmen, another foreign service, and even British Marines in the video.

[@robertheth8169]

The Marines are not the guards at the tomb of the Unkonown Soldier. These are US Army soldiers. This is not a to take anything thing away from the Marines. Just to correct your nattative.

[@nwa3455]

The ignorance you'd expect from an English accent....

[@DonPayne-vt9rq]

You are right sir. Of course the unknown soldier was from the army. It just makes sense that the army take care of their own. We Marines respect the unknown soldier and the army 🪖 as well. We all fight, bleed ,and die for our country. I mean that for all services.

[@user-eh9sn5sq5w]

We have to wonder who puts these videos together! Obviously, it’s US Army soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknowns.

Such a beautiful narration. Did notice a discrepancy similar to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Pronunciation of the battle of "Hue". It is not "Hue" like a Huey hellicopter. But "Hue" like "Way Over There". Semper FI.

[@samadams1867]

"Hue" is Vietnamese, not French. As such, in Vietnamese, the "H" is pronounced. So it's something like "Hway".

Great narrative, and all very true. Unfortunately, a lot of the pictures and videos are of people who are not Marines. Additionally, the battle of Hue in Vietnam is pronounced “way.”

[@80MReasonsWhy]

what is possible without the Corps?

[@irishrover4658]

Next time you could manage to have only Americans depicted in your clips. The rack of ribbons not only isn't American, I think it could be Warsaw Pact. This is shoddy!!

First off, I like this video. The Creed tough, get it right. A Marine is not useless without his weapon. His weapon pretty much is. It is a tool, no different than a hammer or a screwdriver. Something to get the job done then put away.

[@johnflynn-pk2mk]

@80MReasonWhy In your opening statement a 1:50, U are wrong in UR statement!!!😮 U are full of BS!!! U sound like you are a lime-me! Every U.S. Marine is taught during basic training about the history of the Civil War against King George the III 1775a.d through 1783a.d. and the birth of The U.S. Marine Corp. Every U.S. Marine is given a history lesson on the Decaration of Independece against a tyrannical King! We go into battle defending the Declaration of Indelendence against tyranny, defending the Articles 1 through 7 of the Constitution 1783a.d. thru 1787a.d. and defending our Bill of Rights 1787a.d to 1791a.d. without any modern day convienency we have today. All three of these documents are Federal law for the people, citizens before they take their Oath. Unlawful orders by an officer to fire live ammunition into unarmed civilians, males, woman and children can be refused by any rank in the U.S. Marine Corp as well as the other four branches of our U.S. Military as well as the National Gaurd from 50 states1

[@tamarackgaming]

How do I go about responding to this? The war against King George was the Revolutionary war. 1776. The Civil War didn't start until the 1860's. And no, USMC recruits are not given a history lesson. Chosin, The Boxer Rebellion, Tarawa and Iwo Jima is about the only history we were ever taught with a nod given to Mai Lia. That's it.

[@80MReasonsWhy]

would we have the US without Marines?

[@johnflynn-pk2mk]

@@tamarackgaming In onset of our rebellion against King George III in 1775a.d which then deemed a Civil War against there (fellow English men) was deemed by the King against his godly authority a Civil War. Also known as the War of Independence. In South Carolina it was know as a Civil War against the Royal Crown.

[@krzhands]

If you choose to have AI narrate, at least have it in a Bostonian accent. An UK accent isn’t ironically humorous. I’d rather listen to a Southie mispronunciation of Hue, than a twenty-something from Blahsfordshire.
