Merry Christmas from President Barack Obama passed on by Marine Corps Commandant

The Commandant and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps stopped in at Camp Dwyer, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, for a Christmas Eve Dinner with Regimental Combat team 1, December 24. The Commandant also addressed all the Marines where he passed along a message from their Commander in Chief. Shot by Cpl. Skyler Tooker.

My son is a US Marine and I am so glad he serves under such a fine Commandant.

[@onemancomedy]

I like it when the commander makes jokes. He's like that battle hardened grandpa that tells you stories and then puts in tiny jokes that make you giggle later on because their so random. "My aid threw the phone across the table and it landed in my lasagna"

3:56 _"I've been a Marine for 40 years and I've never had a phone call from the President'_

I may not agree with Obama, but he seems like a guy that i would like to meet.

[@justkeepinitreal18]

[@christophernorris1895]

I'm sorry my Marine Corps, through all tradition and trials, has resulted in this type of leadership.

[@johnndamascene]

[@maureencora1]

That's Why U.S. Marines Call Navy Medics "Corpsman", Semper-Fi.

[@scoutbr00]

@blueeyesUSMC they have uniform inspection to see if its all clean, otherwise they get a punishment or something from what i heard

[@NazriB]

I heard that President Barack Obama's favourite film was Forrest Gump.

[@KevinEdude]

But doesn't understand or respect military culture.

[@Dodgeoffroadfreak]

@blueeyesUSMC I agree, both dress blues and cammies. The marpat and cover for the marines looks cooler than the army's

[@handsetmedia]

@aeroeguy because he's a VIP and they need to be armed with a sidearm at all times in any case theres danger

[@willy03yo]

HEY NOW! if they were hiding in gravel you'd be screwed! lmao yea that crap sucks

[@clownslider]

@noearaujo i k r what is the point in having a weapon if there are no shells in it, yes sowhatyoucant2 there is shells in it

[@ratqueen17]

The best part of this video was that the phone landed in the lasagna .....It's always nice when a Muslim wishes Christians which he neither likes or appreciates ,"Merry Christmas" . I am sure he would have rather said "Allah Akbar " .
