This should have been on the national news. f@#king discraseful decision by Guinness. So when athletes wore the latest advanced running shoes to break a world record, technically their records no longer stand because they weren't wearing the same running shoes as when the original record was set, and what about their socks, shorts and vests or even their underwear for that matter. I smell a Guinness rat. Somebody at Guinness has a personal interest behind this decision and not wanting it to be recognised. we should be demanding the identity of the rat who stitched up the Marines world record success. Every new world record is now officially no longer a world record, Human and Mechanical, so don't waste your money buying the official Guinness book of no new world records.

@R B the only thing stopping Germany from an invasion was air superiority. Hitler knew this and is why he wanted to completely destroy the RAF before any invasion began. The battle of Britain was, however, one of the worst conflicts Britain has experienced on mainland UK soil throughout recent history (last 100 years). But in terms of defending the skies, the RAF's home advantage and ingenuity allowed them to keep putting pilots in planes and planes in the sky. So long as that was the case, any invasion of the mainland wouldn't just be met with a reserve force and one of the greatest (although extremely stretched) navies in the world, but also fighter planes and bombers. I'm not trying to play armchair general with you, but these are my understandings based on documentaries and reading.

An OUTSTANDING achievement! Commander Clint Grimes, USN(RET)

[@ninanaivalu5600]

AMAZING GROUP OF ROYAL MARINES, I am humbled by the determination to endure together as a team. Who are these people behind the GUINNESS RECORD to tell the world you didn't break the world record? The world watched your video, we here in the Fiji Islands watched your video too. It's record in the hearts and minds of the 8 brave RM , all the supporters and great fans around the world. Hell with the pants they wore it takes guts, the physical and mental toughness to reach the finish line, SOME PEOPLE DREAM OF SUCCESS WHILE OTHERS WAKE UP AND WORK HARD AT IT.

[@paul6560]

They won that record fair and square, mega effort Marines.

[@para7843]

What a load of bollocks wrong trousers on. The boots must be wrong as well and there day sacks so that is a load of bollocks, and I am ex para reg and I am sticking up for booties. It was a massive effort job done.

[@edwardcullen1739]

Not like gear for OTHER sports records has changed over the past hundred years... But hey! Can't have consistency when it means recognising such a fantastic feat of endurance... 🙄

[@D4ng404]

Edward Cullen Not like OTHER jokes have changed over the past hundred years-but, hey, can’t have consistency when recognizing sarcasm on the internet.

[@rockywr]

Quite agree Carl... never even thought about boots/socks..... we'll have to include belts and t-shirts as well. Stuff Guinness, the guys knew they broke it.

[@antonysavage8218]

I agree day sacks didnt see 1 burgen mucker up the reg !!!

[@myapolloartemis_6829]

You broke the record with the weight on your back and your brothers at your side. Good lads, proud of you all!

[@GardenNHS]

In everyone's minds you all deserve the highest acknowledgement.

[@CelticProgeny]

Immense respect. In our hearts you broke the record and it's what's in our hearts that counts.

[@thespecopser8160]

40:50 "We never leave anyone behind!" Maaaan as a soldier I can relate to that and to the following scenes. Goosebumps!!! Good Job comrades! Greetings from Germany. Still, 2021 my unit will take that record from you XD AND YES AGAIN, in my opinion YOU HOLD THAT RECORD, no matter what trousers!!!

[@oldguy7144]

[@dreamcatcher3622]

What I took from this was at the end, seeing that amazing bond between these people - it's genuinely moving and inspiring.

[@josholdham1033]

This was more touching and inspirational than I expected. Amazing job lads!

[@hammer1349]

Go on lads. You're a brotherhood, a band of brothers. You are the pride of this great nation, an embodiment of the ideals of this country. Digging deep, deeper than anyone else has to and proving just what you are made of. This is what it means to be a British soldier

[@VeniVidiAjax]

The Dutch supports you guys!

[@sammyc620]

Thankyou for you’re Service .. Remember- Respect- Honour ! You smashed it lads x💚

[@Jonslondon]

Guiness should award themselves a record for the biggest bs decision ever to be made in the history of decision making.

[@Jams848484]

Unfortunately they were wearing the wrong colour skidders when they made their BS decision.

[@madmeerkat1158]

My uncle landed on "Sword" beach, Normandy. June 6th 1944 with 41 Commando R.M.. I still have his second pattern Fairbairn/Sykes fighting knife. Never spoke about it in detail until just before he died. Very proud of both him and the Royal Marines!!

[@Trolligarch]

What an inspirational documentary. I'm so proud of our marines 🇬🇧

[@ypsilon5277]

What a wonderful tribute to the brave Marine who so sadly died. God bless you all.
