"How We Sleep" -- Marines in Marjah, Afghanistan

[@bpgagirl22]

Thank you all for your sacrifice for our freedoms - all branches! RIP, Daddy, Semper Fi.

[@ceciliapena1748]

God bless our Marines and keep them safe. ❤️

[@heidivestre2361]

These are men that deserve the respect of nations and generations. Thank You, Gentlemen. Job Well Done.

[@jojomazzocchi8968]

They knew it would be tough so they sent the marines! ☝🏼💕

[@frankgomez3006]

Where is our budget 😅

[@MrUSMC0151]

Being an admin Marine, I give mad respect to the grunts. I gotta buddy with 2/9 who got back in early March from Aghan, heard a few stories. I always pray for my fellow Marines in harms way, even while everyone else is bitching about a 10 hr work day, traffic, clothes, etc. I also notice how if anyone has a problem with Marines they say it on the damn internet and never to our f***ing face.

[@chazzbranigaan9354]

Reading this comment 12 years later, how do u feel?

[@llx2o1]

I've got A LOT of respects for you guys.. Thank you!

[@usmcnyc]

Some of the happiest moments of my life were under conditions like this....Semper Fi

[@noridalagazo402]

how bad their situation but they trained to cope whatever situation they re in thats an soldiers life thank you guys for your courage and bravery and love the dog cute

[@Kevster4569]

My brother was there during Marjah. He said he didn't take a shower for over 30 days, everyone stunk worse then a fucking sunk in 120 degree heat. God knows it probably was 120 there... He was more concerned about a shower then getting shot....

[@Lorraine4444A]

thats funny as hell "tell me about your blouse? well ive worn it for 2 months now and it stays whereever you put it" lol Semper Fi

[@Lucky5201978]

I loved that dog, she kept all evils away from us.I miss Shelby! Great starting video! Tango yankee Mac! I hope all is well! S/F ETT Guns

[@W3CFilms]

My brother was in this. He told me that that dog was shellshocked and was shaking most of the time. :I

[@TheatreOfNight]

Thank-you to those who serve!

[@marines]

Brandon, Typically, an infantryman will be assigned to be a working dog handler and undergo training to perform the duties assigned to that billet while simultaneously working as an infantryman. Semper Fi, Pfc. T

[@bandicoot6175]

i love it at the end how he said "haha that's awesome"

[@icedgodz428]

many will hear the calling, few will earn the title united state marines

[@SOCO1371]

Oh man the dogs.... Seriously the biggest moral boost besides mail

[@bsmonster13]

@annasajerk yes but the bad part is , not knowing if you or any of your buddys will make it home. or if you will ever see your family again. or if they will still be there when you do get back home. that part sucks

[@Airsoftsniping101]

Youre allowed to adopt dogs and cats over seas. It cost about $2000 to adopt a stray dog that was always runnin around our base.

[@macrosent]

I don't give a damn if anyone disagrees with me, but I am PROUD of our military men and women. Ooh-Rah!!!

[@steed176]

Marines never have "one of those days"... Every day is shitty... Semper Fidelis

[@spiritwolf50]

exactly how any combat unit sleeps. any place in a corner they can find.

[@FormerDeathMachine]

Brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting this. Semper Fi Cpl. Park USMC 2/23 OIF1 2003

[@oXNyancatXo]

i love how the dog is in most of the shots

[@witchofrivia]

Will one of you try to take that pup home with you? Its clear that it enjoys being with you.

[@gbsons]

What's up with the freakin dog?lol. I think I can sleep pretty much anywhere. But would I want to for a living? Probably not. Much respect to you Marines. You do America proud.

[@graffist448]

chill out.. jeeze they are marines. They spent 3 months in basic and many more months in infantry training. They are exceedingly comfortable. =P

[@SoCxXerXceS]

[@20maxilo]

I feel soo bad this is soooo sad... I cant believe they sleep like that....

[@logangodofcandy]

i couldn't sleep with that adorable little puppy needing attention

[@importpappa]

God bless you all.

[@guitarhamster102]

Wow some of those marines are quite skinny. Skinnier than me. And I'm just a future Army who haven't even gone to Basic yet.

[@rasheis]

Tengo a una persona alla en Afghanistan quiero mandarle un paquete me prodrias decir que es lo que mas necesitan ya que no tengo mucho contacto con el que fue lo que mas te hizo falta?? Muchas gracias......

[@StoneyTony216]

1:43 "Get up bro! Look at this cool stick I found!"

[@isabellycris5602]

Ok man de pessoa😍😍😍💖💖💖

[@1954chevy626]

Semper Fi to all my brothers.

[@danehardy9659]

Is 0311 the most used and filled MOS?

[@semperfisemperceler]

This is from mabryusmc's Channel!!!!!!!!!!

[@jordansewell5930]

Props to the Marjah Marines! The biggest taliban stronghold in Aphgan was controlled by the marines. Thats why there nickname is Marjah Marines

[@jarebear909]

if a marine were to get super close with a dog out there. is it in anyway possible for him to bring it home with him?

[@astorianygirl]

May Gods angels encamp around you brave heroes!

[@brandonberry1764]

I am curious if soldiers ever develop insomnia from discomfort

[@honchoryanc]

too tired to

[@zacktaylor2065]

Soldiers maybe, but marines no.

[@lukeygoaty4636]

+zack taylor lmfao! Nice one lol

[@LETSD0THIS]

i would take that dog home secretly and show my family and take care of him. i would be like hey guys look at this cool dog i found in the desert in afghan!

[@martincabrera791]

Question. What MOS do the Marines have that they have dogs out in the feild?

[@TheSwampcritter]

shoot after patrolling the endless sea of sand all we did was sleep

[@eatsleepplayrepeat]

Dog. What breed is it?

[@jasonjuarez5843]

Karma momma dog

[@kdembo1025]

thats what fucking happens when you run 4 patrols a day in 140 degrees weather with full gear on and little food to eat. go try it sometime youll understand

[@wakenbake005]

thats dog is awesome i would pay a couple grand just to have a dog with me if i was in war

[@crankatorium]

Do marines sleep with their eyes open?

[@MRdeucin]

daym... I miss the natural sand spice that makes all our MREs more like high class dining..w/ a touch of tobasco...

[@CJUDDFJWDF]

you had me laughing at loud.... plus Touche

[@crankatorium]

@TheConfusedDave i thought it was 90% boredom, 10% sheer terror and excitement?

[@CJUDDFJWDF]

i beg to differ what about your hand?

[@captainnivlem]

lol.. it's a good thing mans best friend was there, so he could eat the part of the mre thats not so edible

[@03kamkam]

God I miss that shit!!!!

[@oumartraore2085]

+MrSolonmon Lol,but thank you for your service,brother

[@oumartraore2085]

+gary mishoe And thank you for your service to,brother

[@ThaRock1976]

@911USMCDevildog Yea nothing like waking up like a damn sugar cookie after sweatin your ass off rolling around in the fucking stuff. Or eatin a damn sand crunchy MRE.

[@chitopedos]

that would be dope

@0321grunt : [Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"; Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it." - "60 Minutes" (5/12/96)]

[@martincabrera791]

Ok thank you very much

[@superbeestarkiller9910]

@Marines They dont have trailers like the US Army?

[@obamasuck566]

ha one time few my grunts (in iraq) were sleeping like they were at 1:07 and i just took a stone and dropped it and they all freaked it was awesome

[@faidithgrim5960]

Its not that bad, its like camping :D hardcore camping!

[@CChissel]

@11kungfu11 Well..This isnt a battle between soldiers...It's insurgents, and if they pick up a weapon and fire it at innocent civilians and soldiers that are training/helping the afghanistan military...They are in the wrong. I don't think you understand how the situation is, and their service is to keep innocent people safe. I'm not trying to pick a fight, just wondering what your reasons are for saying this. Also, America wasnt the only country that participated.

[@gymmnky16]

Can I have the guy at around 2:06? No seriously.

[@landsurfer66]

Hahaha! That's one crusty-ass uniform.

[@pdubplaw]

oooorraahh!

[@Bashaza]

You can say what ever you wanna say.If you offend people then thats your own problem.

[@Smithr1989]

@ICrySemperFi when i was in Afghanistan we called em fighting holes...

[@SXYBST55]

The dog at 1:15 is on a good one

[@Bashaza]

Why Not?

[@0321grunt]

@ScientificalnessUSA Do you honestly believe that half a million children, even people for that matter, have died in Iraq since the U.S. has gone into Iraq. That quote really proves nothing at all because it is all hearsay. First, "we have heard" is not a fact. The date of the comment leads me to believe that it is from the Gulf War, and we did not leave a standing military in Iraq.

[@Obeliskforg]

Nah y’all got nice dirt to sleep on and us marines be sleeping standing up 💀💀💀

[@chawkz]

Agreed mate

[@AStaticCharacter]

@cgrasser7075861624 They were given new uniforms, these ones just haven't been washed in a while because they're in the field.

[@nikkielenap14]

Cute dog

[@cardo718]

Seems like everywhere Marines go, there will be a local dog who shows up and they adapt it. I served 13 years in the Marine Corps.

[@ATLGrunt]

@annasajerk It gets old really fast.

[@TrueBrowny]

thats why you guys are the biggest bad asses around !

[@11kungfu11]

@CChissel I am deffinitly not american, Ive traveled the world many times so iam very culturally diverse. I am sorry for the disrespect I show for people who eat out of the hands of the worlds elite. I have seen many things when I was over seas and the perfect example of what people call insurgents is pablo escobar, he done "bad things" for people in other countries but gave most of his money to his comuniity and country to the point he made huge differences. These people you >

[@badmanx13]

@causeimameaner not a soldier, a marine.

[@sgtschmitty8013]

@va21kouv Oorah bro

[@DrBruhle]

fuck sleeping in the sand. i always woke up with it in my mouth.

[@TheMoleMan]

1:16 = security lol

[@estebangarcia399]

He stands guard

[@damyrodri]

thts da cutiest dog i evr seen in my life:') man dat is a shitty place to sleep. now im seeing the downfall of being a soldier

[@TheAnthery]

@julioabruno2254 You're American, in case you were unaware.

[@joewoodley6625]

@Airbornefamily1 you wouldnt sleep during combat if thats what you mea

[@01jerm10]

@annasajerk @fretburner101 It looks awesome from the comfort of your home but it's far from awesome.

[@dpdees]

It ain't all glory.

[@johnnypetercook673]

Jason wynn jinn war

[@snikyniga]

lol thats how my dog acts :)

[@cowboyfromhell91107]

lmao it stays where you put it.

[@KillFoot556]

Oil in Afghanistan? Hahahaha you guys crack me up

[@0321grunt]

@ScientificalnessUSA How is this treason? The Nuremberg trials were for genocidal acts, there is no genocide in Iraq or Afghanistan. American Troops in Pakistan are there because of a natural disaster, not to wage war. Minus a few raids into the FATA region of Pakistan which is like the wild wild west crawling with AQ leadership and all of those were before any type of conventional force went into Pakistan. The same applies for the Yamashita Standard. Prisoners are not being brutally killed

[@TheDegraderReturns]

Sleeping bags? in Afghanistan? are you crazy?

[@birdtopaz5627]

You would be **shocked** at how brutal Afghan winters get. The nation is landlocked with no moderating ocean currents!

[@kararesco4882]

Good morning😂✌

[@nepats522]

va21kouv if it wasnt for these guys doing what they do there would be no american plants building anything. I know it's hard for civilians to understand but we fight so you dont have to fight at home. get used to it, its the way the world works.

[@11kungfu11]

@11kungfu11 informed decision about everything the worst thing you can do is believe what the elite tell you to believe. I love all human just hate peoples mindset about things. If you gave me the time of day id be able to explain exactly why you guys are in that part of the world, Oil is not anything to do with it ill tell you that much. after you look up the 3 city state and bilderburg group you should look up teh gold dinar and see how great of a person col. gaddafi was before >>
