There are sound bites from Lance Corporal Stephanie Robertson, Female Engagement Team and Corporal Michelle Greco-Lucchina. Provided by Natochannel.

[@Trid3nt861]

much respect to those females who served in the Corps :)

[@jeffmanwwe]

It's funny because you are from the U.K. I showed your comment to my two Afghan friends, they are laughing their asses off incredibly hard.

[@779LR]

They do a greater job bringing diplomacy and reducing hatred towards Americans in general than the corrupt goons in politics.. RESPECT! Not just serving the country but serving Afghanistan as well; their politicians only care about themselves - just like ours. These FETs are bringing the people together. Despite the potential risks involved, good to see them having fun too.

[@baron8107]

Age is a number. Gender is a form. Race is a characteristic. IT'S THE MIND THAT MATTERS.

[@5915KCool69]

I think it is really stupid that people are getting so worked up about this video. Were they hurting the girls? Were they being rude? Were they cussing them out? NO! NO! NO! They were putting lipgloss on them and brushing there hair. WTF is the problem?

[@Whispers_of_Madness]

this is so neat and amazing OORAH to all of our Marines Respect these women:)

[@123thatoneguy]

wait so do any of the female and male soldiers mix? like in the same squad or something? please respond.

[@phillysfinest267]

I recently finished AIT and while I was on BN detail I saw a flier about this on the wall. I'm intrested in joining FET. I am currently a student majoring in nursing. Where would I find more information about Army FET training?

[@DarkworldHero]

This is an Excellent initiative. Great footage, positive PR.

[@Freedomloverforever]

These ladies, Marines all, deserve the highest honors of Marine Corps. They may not be 03-11's, or even capable of being 03-11's, but they volunteered for a very important and dangerous duty in a combat zone. When the shit hits the fan, it is the 03-11, and other combat MOS's who carries the day, but the those in support roles, do just that. A Marine bliind to this, may be Marine in name only. As a Corpsmen, a volunteer, medically retired, I have earned the right to say, Semper Fi FET. DOC

[@gunman5945]

I have fought a worked with men and women over seas. I treat both as the same. I give props and ass chewing when needed. Every one wears the uniform and every one gets the same treatment.

[@PajareeOnprom]

So touched!

[@yascumbag]

i could be biased but is that the correct way to hold your gun on patrol. their hands look too close together and it looks more like they'd sooner drop the gun trying to put it into a fighting stance it looks listless

[@a1632205]

They dont actually just talk to local women, if they actually did just do that, well then that would be so goddamn stupid. They connect with the locals to gain their trust and to know that they aren't there to hurt them in any way. I dont want to sound sexist and im not at all, but i have actually heard women complaining about not being able to join the infantry. But we should be respectful that they have the guts to join the military, no matter what their job is within it.

[@stephbonjour2011]

are these the marines or the Army???

[@mastakat74]

the FBI should do an investigation into anyone that votes 'dislike' on these videos

[@pyrovision2103]

I serve the constitution the and the American dream. The idea that when the people lead the leaders will follow. I respect anyone and everyone who voices their opinion cause the more people that feel strongly about something the more change that can happen.

[@janbakht2724]

good job

[@TheVintageFiend]

Look at that Afghan with his badass Harley Davidson.

[@MindOfTheThief]

@VampiresBiteHard666 As someone who is actually in the Marine Corps I'll tell you that women are in infantry but they do not go into direct contact with the enemy; they do do support roles like comm, armorer, supply etc. It's not about gender its about the rigors of war. As much as you want to deny it human males are stronger then human females. Yes, some women can do it but it's a very small number. Saying women can do whatever they want is completely ignorant.

[@arshadmuhammed4679]

Thanks

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne You are correct with the date of 1998, but at that time the AQ target was Mubaraq, not USA and the embassy bombung was the reply to the arrest of 4 AQ members in Albany planning to overcome the Egypt regime. USA is payingt the support for Israel (the jewish were persecuted by UK and France even before the holocaust), but USA policy is dictated by 2-3 big family trusts and 2 of them are Jeiwsh. USA is paying also his addiction to foreign oil and to Military complex and war industry.

[@ImHereForPie]

I'll admit, these women could kick my ass.

[@superawesomechannel1113]

Very kind lady

[@Gregnoxy]

Holy shit they progressed!

[@gimenezlemos624]

Este vídeo foi um dos melhores que eu já vi. Parabéns a todos vocês, vocês merece todo nosso respeito

[@rickywashburn]

@Un1versalPa1n not just infantry combat arms.. but females do go into hostile territoriy with their male counter parts

[@sass225]

@yascumbag The rifles have one point slings you wouldnt drop them if you did let go. you try walking with 60-100lbs of gear in 120 deg heat for a few hours and see how you do. thouse interceptor vest work but there heavy its better to be tired than dead

[@RayDoeksen]

The last US draft was in 1973.

[@Crystal0mask]

@stephen01619 Erm, no its the opposite way round, its woman's rights that allow women to go into the infantry.

[@stephen01619]

@hoopgirl245 Girl nevermind! And no it's not from men not allowing women to go infantry, its this little thing called WOMENS RIGHTS that keep women from going infantry.

[@desii197]

They Don't Just Send People. WE VOLUNTEER We Have That Right, Sucks That Your Country Doesn't

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne You are wrong. 9/11 happened right because you are heavily involved in it. Indeed this is the reason why 9/11 happened in USA and not in Brasil or Switzerland.

[@a1632205]

Both Men and Women have the right to join the military. I respect you for speaking your mind, and it may seem like they are playing dress up. But really they are winning the locals over. Soldiers mostly go through small villages, if all of the locals hated them and would do anything to get rid of them, they would be violent towards the soldiers. And they would be able to even kill soldiers. And any type of sexism is bloody stupid. How can we win a war when we cant even work together?

[@stephen01619]

@hoopgirl245 You're right, they do see combat, from AFAR. They are not sent into combat nor participate or get sent out to it. Men can detain women, pat women down and question if needed. I sure would like to know where you get your facts from, they sure are spewed. If women want respect in the military then they should do the same as men. That consist of training and combat. Bootcamp for women recruits are so watered down and you can ask any recruiter that and you'll get the same answer.

[@rickywashburn]

@stephen01619 your way off it man, woman in combat support, and combat units have fought along side men in many engagments

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 Small scale drone attacks? Are you kidding me? Korea and Vietnam I can see you point, Iraq and Afghainstan, I can see your point. But these are large scale attacks, not small cell activites involving hundreds of special forces instead of hundreds of thousands of troops.

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne Innocent civilians are not "operating", they are simply living in their homes with their children. Insurgency in Yemen and Pakistan ( as we are talking about small cell activities) are a problem of Yemen and Pakistan, not of USA. Additionally if insurgency is wrong, why USA supported it in Libya and Kosovo ? Even in Libya and kosovo USA operations were criminal and resulting in the deaths of many civilians.

[@theDucklings9908]

1:30 all she wanted, was a hug but

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne No possible to complain because people are defending THIR country against foreign aggressors. The responsibility for the deaths is upon the intruders.

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne Russia and Serbia had the right to not tolerate as they had the right to mantain order inside their borders. Terrosism is fully motivated against US-Nato for their aggressive policy outside their borders.

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne You are wrong again. Spain was attacked like UK AFTER their involvment in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. On the other side Russia is facing the same problem of Serbia, having a Muslim minority fighting for independence in Checenya like in Bosnia and Kosovo.

[@oblivexx]

Not the kind of engagement I was looking toward. I was expecting women being more bass then the men.

[@amp32ak]

Too bad we can't fight the whole war like this.

How polite they are They then invade their country Then they search their homes and clothes and offer them sweets. It is better not to steal other people’s property 🇸🇦🇵🇸☝️🌍🧕🔻

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 So does that explain similiar terroism in Spain? In Russia? Around the world? We are involved as a preventitve measure, had we been MORE involved, the people that plotted 9/11 and simliar attacks would never have hit the age of 20.

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne I am not hungarian.

[@ogamike]

@KRAUTKICKER .... I think we can all assume the obvious. If she doesn't get raped, there would definitely be some form of sexual abuse, coupled with beatings and torture.

[@keenymeeny2]

RESPECT

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne I agree that Yemen and Pakistan operations are the product of small cell activities, but that does not make the operations more acceptable. Their nature is still evil, as many innocents civilians were killed in their civilian homes.

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 Because these "insurgents" are against an already corrupt government, we encouraged it in Iraq and Afghanistan to serve our needs, we abondened the first, and let the latter get out of hand. Living in their homes? With several already identified High value targets? Not so smart. You wouldn't let a killer sleep in your house would you? You wouldn't want your children to be threatened by the possibilty of the police accidently killing them right?

[@sass225]

@VampiresBiteHard666 yes women are issued rifles and sometimes pistols to defend themselves who said otherwise? a female airman held the airforce record for longerest rifle shot in 2008 she graduated from counter sniper class in ark got man though the arse while he was planting ied and he went boom

[@Vydio]

Quit boring everyone to death with your empty threats ...... and don't hold your breath to see a draft unless you want to become unconscious.

[@salerno111]

@NTmayne yes, wherever are they are present, the intruders must be killed. The target is alwaysa foreign intruder or a collaborator, and the responsibility of collateral damage is always upon the intruders.

[@sass225]

@Un1versalPa1n there was a female capt an mp that commanded her own convoy escort details. No women can't be in infantry,armor,artilery. but there are women in combat just the same jessicca lynch was a truck driver. travel between post convoys get hit by IEDS. women get killed same as men. there are no front lines in unconventional warfare a controled area is however far you can see and were your standing

[@Sameul_Pathan32]

Zo kind of yours 🇧🇪😍🇦🇫

[@rickywashburn]

@Webzlinger but there was attacks... and still are attempted... we did make the mistake of disbanding their military, we should have kept them together and had them help stabalize their country that was the biggest issue.. cause all the former soldiers had to make money for their families someway.. terrorist could afford to give them 200 to dig a hole... and you saying "US military presence just prevents arab on arab violence and anarchy breaking out" isnt that a good thing?

[@sass225]

@123thatoneguy In civil affairs,MP,and transportaion units men and women serve together. in infantry units,armor,artilery they cant serve there is not the luxery of seperate quarters in combat arms.

@TheCentralServices I thought the Jewish people were originally entitled to Israel somewhere down our historic line, but land claim is a silly thing, by thoughts are not to who originally owns it, but why people can't tolerate one another in general.

What lesson learned by Humanbeings in NATO forces after they are used by America for interests against humanity.

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 Aggressive policy? I'm laughing at that statement, aggresive policy would have led us to end the genocides in Yemen, aggressive policy would have ended the Battle of Mogidishu with tanks and AC-130's. Aggressive Policy would have never let another Gulf War happen.

[@hoopgirl245]

@stephen01619 once AGAIN do your research buddy...men cant touch afghan women..its a fact..their men dont allow it and the women wont talk,to you or let you touch them.and women already see combat,even without being in infantry.Women are asigned to infantry units all the time.which they Most likely WILL see some sort of combat...Respect the women who fight for this country.dont be rude.

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 To prevent the world from falling apart at that, we Americans have seen the very limited spectrum of what the world truly is when we are not heavily involved in it. 9/11 was an eye opener to this as where many other event's.

[@rickywashburn]

@stephen01619 no it wont buddy, women will be part of it in the next 15 years

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 Innocent Civillians operating in the vicinity of Insurgents? One way or another they are connected, and should be labeled under the list of "collatoral damage". Though such sterile words, the people they where with, or the "civillians" themselves must have attracted the attention of such weapons and or personal, and then caused further attention to be drawn to them because up the line, the personal would have to request permission to engage.

[@rdevenger]

@123thatoneguy Not in combat arms units.....I didn't see a single stich of ass the entire time I was downrange (unless I got to go on a civil affairs mission as security to the main Air Base in Kirkuk, even then it was scarce) Not too much action on a FOB full of dudes!

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 Involved or not, it's the duty of the world super powers to protect themselves, their assets, and other nations not capable of effectivley taking care of that problem. It's not an Islamic specific problem, terrorism exists in all states and religions, I think that it shouldn't be tolerated, this has it's roots when Israel's place as a soverign nation was backed by Western Powers.

[@hoopgirl245]

@stephen01619 well next time u see a women's rights meeting tell them we dont give a shit.and to let us go to infantry.next year ill be in the marines and glady going to sign up for the lioness program since its the closest i get to infantry

[@food4you830]

cute girl😀

[@hoopgirl245]

@stephen01619 dude nvm....women should do the same as men you say????WTF DO U THINK WE ARE TRYING TO DO????!!lol its YOU men who dont let the women sign up for infantry because i would sign up in 2 seconds.And i know women who would do the same.we aren't afraid,we just aren't ALLOWED

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 And defending your country agains't foreign aggressors involves using your vheicle as a bomb in a packed market place? In a crowded street? I don't think so...

[@silentoutfit]

@maddmarine03 The Marine Corps has a different role in the current conflict of Afghanistan. As you name suggest you're a Marine so, you should know that Marines and Army have different AO's. Where we are the female populace is high and it's not favorable for a male to go patrollin' all up in there asking f*cking questions. So what we did is "adapt and overcame" devil. You should know that. However, you're so stuck in yesteryears mentality that you'll never be able to see that.

[@Kevin32001]

@hooramarines In operations like that yes, but in most military combat scenarios...i'm sorry but no. I don't hate women but i would much rather have a man next to me in combat. Now, if it was an amazon type woman, then sure, but then there's the whole toxic shock thing and PMS shit. No thank you.

[@NTmayne]

@salerno111 Does it matter what religion the family trusts belong too? What it be that better if they were Muslim? Christian? Bhuddist? People all the same to me, sense less violence dicatated by any cause short of self-defense or security of one's nation, allys, and assets is wrong to me.
