The Nicest Mules in the Marine Corps (ft. Lil Jon)

[@clydebalcom3679]

Mules have abilities that are unbelievable to people who haven't spent any time with one. A mule can be more affectionate than a horse, and have a twisted sense of humor.

[@lydia4127]

Well said, I never thought of it being put that way but you are absolutely right, their sense of humor is behind that have them for an individual who has only owned horses. And yes it can be a very Twisted sense of humor🤯 they always want to make sure we don't get above our station and mistakenly think we are the smartest creature on the property🤷‍♀️🤣 and they understand and care about people in a way that I can't explain to the average horse person.

[@clydebalcom3679]

@@lydia4127, That's probably why the USMC won't be retiring their mules anytime soon. They get the job done. And yes. I have been put in my place more than once by a mule laughing at the idiot human (me)...

Here we usually use Rayban to go in a convertible, not a mule hahahahah

This is the definition of fun on the job! Here’s to y’all 🍻

[@NYLADY13601]

Mules are far more sure footed then horses and they're just as intelligent as horses are. They're not stubborn regardless of what others may say or think. Mules just know what they like and what they want to do. Plus they can be just as loving as any other equine. 💖💖💖

[@cambridgeratmom]

Agreed. Mules are just more likely to express their opinions in your face! What you see is what you get.

[@waynegilchrist1596]

Actually mules are without a doubt smarter than horses! I'm sorry but that's the truth. A horse will allow itself to be, "worked to death" but a mule knows when, "enough is enough!"

[@alycewich4472]

@Lana, Alexander - I have to disagree with you, Lana. Mules are WAY smarter than horses. They have fascinated me ever since they came to the pasture fence to say hi to my toddler son decades ago. They would fight each other to get pets from him, but were always careful to not get close enough to him to step on or hurt him. I had horses for decades but I'm not smart enough to have a mule.

[@lydia4127]

Well said except they are much smarter than horses. I have one mule, work with people who own mules, and have owned a lifetime of horses... never before have I experienced an equine that knows how to untie so many knots the only way to keep him tied is to put fresh half million Scoville hot sauce on his lead rope. Also this is the 1st time I've had an animal who has outsmarted every type of lock and clip. As of a few weeks ago the only other option I have is to get a keyed lock... which is now on my list for the hardware store.🤯 he reminds me on a daily basis both that he adores me and that I am not the smartest creature on the property🤦‍♀️ his favorite thing to do is take all the Locking devices off a gate(bury them in the mud,if its muddy) but leave it closed, just so that when he wants to let himself out it only takes 10 sec to do so. He always wants to give himself the option to choose where he is at any given time.🤷‍♀️

I once met a Marine on a plane to xxxx where he was headed for mule training. We held hands and said weeeeeeeeeee as that little puddle jumping plane was tossed all over the place by a bad storm that night. I am so happy to find this channel. Sending my best thoughts out to all of you and especially the Marine I shared that roller-coaster flight with

[@deedoyle4069]

[@joenewman6494]

The few the proud the mules.

[@dlynnfrazier5216]

I knew a Texas rancher who only rode mules. Said they were better than horses because they didn't spook at nothing. In any case, mules are a great tool in the military toolkit. Wish I had the opportunity when I was in the service.

[@gidkath]

Training with mules is training for life. It's an entire way of being.

[@hardrock6034]

More mule vids please 😊

[@brentonking3616]

I love mules so much! I feel like they’re better for packing than horses are cause they’re generally more nimble. They’re also really cool looking.

[@charleshughbryan5603]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO !! I served in the Marines from 68 to 70 and the only mule I saw and got to ride had a Hercules engine and 4- drive and steer. A bunch of would ride out to the choppers and head out into the bush on them. It was an honor to serve and I'd sign up again if they'd let us win this time. SEMPER FI MARINES !!!

[@carlanderson7618]

I remember those mules. We used them mostly for ammo and other supplies. They also mounted 106mm till they were phased out for TOWs mounted on jeeps in the mid 70s IIRC

[@waynegilchrist1596]

Hey that's a really kool video! Love the mules. They are smarter than horses and are so full of personality ~ in spades! Left me wanting more!Semper Fi.

[@rickdean1015]

These Marine mule videos make me wonder what the Corps is doing for farriers. I assume that they have a program for that, but who did they tap to get it started? A good friend of mine learned the trade in the Army shoeing mules, and was in the last parade that had Army mules, which was in Cheyenne, Wyoming in the mid-fifties. The last extensive use of military mules was in Burma, and it blows my mind when I think about how much money has been wasted developing robots to do what mules have done very well for over two hundred years since then.

[@db4858]

CONTRACTORS BABY!!!! And a USAF Contracting Officer! How do you think we beat the BS Congressional mandated end strengths especially in places like Iraq and Afghanistan? CTR's baby.

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

Better to risk and lose a military robot life than a military animals life.

[@nmelkhunter1]

My grandad helped teach horse and mule packing to the 10th Mountain Division at Camp Hale, Colorado during WW II. He was not drafted or allowed to enlist in the Army since he was a rancher and the sole source of support for his family. Plus he was 33 years old when US entered the war. So, instead, he was “drafted” to help at Camp Hale.

[@mattwithdecosecurity]

Fun video, keep them coming.

[@sam61480]

I can hear the hope in his voice when he says nah there’s no contour lines hahaha

[@XtrmTJ97]

We were doing this back in the mid 80's. I was the SNOCIC of the Marine Corps Animal Pack Program at MCMWTC.

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

These mules and other military animals are really brave for signing up, shame that they get left behind. Loyalty between animals and humans mainly runs one way.

[@pjviitas]

[@ericandrews1661]

@Rick S I'm sure she does. Normally I'm one who doesn't believe women should have any place in the military, and I still don't. I believe any female who joins does so simply to be surrounded by men. That would not be my pick but this one works well with the mule. What can I say.

[@twistedpixel2558]

Many folks have made a living mule logging right here at home in the states. A mule team can go in after a storm and get all the downed timber without tearing up the land. Same reason a lot of people prefer them for having their woods logged out every ten years or so.

[@chesterwilberforce9832]

There was a product when I was a kid called "20 Mule Team Borax." It's still around. Imagine hooking up 20 mules. They hauled 36 tons through Death Valley. "History of the U.S. Borax 20 Mule Team ​U.S. Borax traces its roots to California’s Death Valley, where borate deposits were discovered in 1872. The first 20 mule team hauled borax a sweeping 165 miles through Death Valley in 1883. Fully loaded with two ore wagons and a 1,200-gallon water wagon, the rig weighed 36.5 tons. Though the expansion of railways led to the 20 mule team’s retirement, the team has lived on for more than a century as a trademark for U.S. Borax."

[@Philobiblion]

Interesting to reflect on how the choice of the mule as the Army mascot is so emblematic of the armed land forces. The mule is a bundle of contradictions held together by deep ties of character including first and foremost loyalty, intelligence, willfulness, attitude, the ability to follow a strategic plan (earn one's keep as a valuable mule) with tactical savvy (get what you want, when you want it), the ability to see through phonies, and in the end, the strength and perseverance to get the job done, with only a modicum of complaining. I like it. I bet if you asked General Mark Milley what his favorite animal is he would say the mule. By the way, it occurred to me that in the eventuality that DJT should return as POTUS, the military could be the bulwark that saves our democracy. These folks take seriously their oath to defend the Constitution.

[@treechoper21]

Did she just use an imperial unit and a metric unit for 2 separate lengths?

[@treechoper21]

I guess its not that weird

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Most Americans use both… and in the military it’s common because horizontal distance is almost always klicks/kilometers.

Great ending 2000ft=610m over say 900m is like 67% grade. If one is not seeing contour lines then one is using the wrong map. If its a digital interface one would need to zoom in. If the contour lines are still not showing then this would be a localized feature not picked up on the remote sensing. Welcome to the real world lol.
