I think certain behaviors that were taken for granted back in my day are no longer taught. Simple things like not entering an auditorium when a play or musical score is happening was just understandable and expected back in the day. It’s very likely the person in charge of the performances that day has no idea he/she was being disrespectful. This is not to excuse the behavior but only to offer one other possible explanation.

[@christianwarren2982]

I am a US Marine and I think it's deeply disrespectful that the players would go on to the field before the silent drill platoon was done with their performance. NFL leadership sucks! No respect whatsoever.

[@seanziepoo7495]

I too am a Marine, and I would say (personally) that it's only Moderately disrespectful. At the end of the day, The Marines are there to do a Job, but so are the Players... and the Marines are on players' turf, so I can understand it... Plus, the players probably see this sort of thing Relativley Often and probably kind of filter it out so it doesn't distract them from the game. I still think it's mad disrespectful, but... I can also understand the players' point of view.

[@TheWasatchCrown]

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Some coach or staff member somewhere probably made a mistake and told them to go out just 10 seconds too early. If you live your life looking for offense you'll always be offended.

[@seanziepoo7495]

@TheWasatchCrown 100% My guess is that it was probably Marine Leadership that led to that happening... Lt. Probably told the coach about the Marine Corp's "On time is Late" policy and dude probably didn't wanna look bad in front of the Corps and sent the boy's out a little prematurely. Or, they might have genuinely thought it was ending and didn't realize there was still a minute or two left in the routine.

[@GregB419]

Roger Godell so disrespects the country every week. First allowing the players to kneel and now having 2 national anthems before games. Tragedy

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Extremely shameful. It's offensive to all of those who serve and have served in their families

[@AnthemDrums]

Agree 100% - Athletes are entertainers, Marines are heroes. The entertainers should not dare to step on the field while the Marines occupy it.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

Maybe a lot of people paid money to see entertainers (football players) ?? Was the event a football game with paid admission? or a Military event with paid admission. Who had sponsorship, who was getting pissed off with losing advertising 'time'.... etc, maybe the network was bleeding money for the 2 minutes of extra time. Loss of advertising and extra satellite hire. You can't mix Govt events with commercial often... they just work differently. And the culture of thinking behind each is so different.

[@JoeBattle]

​@@colonelfustercluck486 the Marines were obviously invited there. So it doesn't matter who lost money or who was bored. You show respect for them as they protect the country. And have a little dignity for yourselves and not be selfish and disrespectful of the real Men that were on that field.

“Semper fidelis” Latin for always loyal or always faithful. [Honor>Courage>Commitment] That drill was brilliantly executed. Please excuse the NFL who should know no one should be on the field during the silent drill or until the Marines exit as a sign of respect. Their years of woke-ism must have made them loose their sense of timing. The reason the NFL has the Freedom and Liberty to hold a game in a massive stadium free of conflict is because of a soldier. We sleep in a war bed at night thanks to a soldier. Every freedom we have is because of a soldier and every citizen and organization needs to always be mindful of that and honor and respect that fact alone.

It wasn't a hero contest. It was a football game. Obviously the Marines are the public and popular heroes, and the Football players pursue the professional game of football. Were the grounds organised by Football, or the Marines?

Imagine what would happen to a team’s reputation if they fired a player for simply waiting for a military drill team to exit the field first before taking it.

But they were contracted to be there at that time as professional players and match officials. That is their job and contractual obligation... be there, on the ground at 'X, Y and Z' time. (Or financial ruin may happen if you get sued for not complying) If you pay their financial penalties for being late for starting the football game, I'm sure that they would help out. And be happy for the wonderful drill display, continue past deadline, for an extra 30 to 60 seconds. People paid to watch the game... on TV or in person.... Lets see..... TV network transmission delayed (a slot in a pre-booked system) Advertising (contracted and paid for).... whoops..... might have to pay $10 million back, if we miss a little of that.

You have the chevron and crossed rifles until Staff NCO which is E-6. Then you get a rocker underneath the chevrons from that point on when you make rank.

hello Andre, I am a grandmother living in the Arizona desert and I’ve stumbled upon your videos a while back and I subscribed. It is so fun seeing America that I’m very very familiar with through your eyes. You get me enthusiastic and excited over things I kinda take for granted. It is so fun getting to know you and watching your videos. ✌🏽🇺🇸👍🏽💯🙏🏽☕️💙

Yes, indeed!! Over 1,000,000 Americans have given their lives, for the noble idea of freedom. For freedom isn't free. It has a very bloody cost. Progress rather than perfection!

[@kasey9067]

Very well said and I agree. 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@lauraanderson7492]

Your opinion is correct. So disrespectful to the soldiers who are committed to protecting and dying for the football players.

[@woowoochuggachugga]

LOL, Marines aren't soldiers. Don't call them that. We are Marines, not soldiers. (Brainwashing is fun, it can still trigger me 40 years after the fact 😂😂)

With all respect, they aren't soldiers; rather, U.S. Marines.

It is so nice of you to speak so well of our soldiers. Thank you very much.

@@floydgilreath1875 Definitely, you are correct! I guess I was thinking that, according to Google, "the marines have gone into combat in almost every US conflict in history" on land and at sea.
