If a bunch of Jarheads can figure it out, then so can all the other services. Hint for the Navy, get rid of ” A global force for good.”
When we were attached to a Marine regimental combat team, I tried to get the publics affairs officer to allocate any media to my squadron. He stonewalled me and my boss for about eight months before he admitted that the RCT’s ops officer had told him not to give us (I.e. the army) any coverage.
I’ve had young Marines explicitly deny any Army involvement in the Battle of Okinawa. They just didn’t know, couldn’t believe the Army had been there.
Wow….
I had to share it.
Here is my most pressing question: Why was she wrapping up the “girls” in the scene where she cut off her hair?

I’m not much impressed. The Marines are an excellent fighting organization, but they are pretty overblown from a PR stand point.
I’ve known people that thought the Pacific war was fought solely by the Navy and Marines. They find it hard to believe the Army killed Yamamoto and that the Army actually staged more amphib ops than the marines (not to mention the largest at Normandy), and that the 8th AF took more casualties than any unit in WW2, including the Marines.
The video is OK as far as music videos go. As for the Marine part, meh.
Ask a Marine sometime who led them into Falujah.
I’ve had about a gullet full of these self-promoting goons.
