✔️ European Reacts to US MARINE CORPS SILENT DRILL PLATOON HALFTIME SHOW! - Reaction For the First Time
I agree its a metter of respct. NO one should be on the field during this drill
💯👍
Agreed. What were they thinking. Though ultimately it comes down to timing. I was in a college marching band and there were a few times the timing didn’t add up. The players were just following orders.
@@bryancollins942 This is it. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Some coach or staff member somewhere probably made a mistake and told them to go out just 10 seconds too early. You shouldn't spend your life looking for things to be offended about especially when there is no apparent malice.
@@TheWasatchCrown The players are not blind either...
@@TheWasatchCrown Oh and there is an announcer telling them over the PA, prolly not a mistake.
I am a retired Army Officer, and there should be no one on the field while they are performing. Total disrespect!
except maybe the camera team that need to take pictures. And I am a Marine saying that.
Thank you sir for your service
Maybe a little 'threatened' taking a little of their 'thunder'?
Thank you for your service!
I think certain behaviors that were taken for granted back in my day are no longer taught. Simple things like not entering an auditorium when a play or musical score is happening was just understandable and expected back in the day. It’s very likely the person in charge of the performances that day has no idea he/she was being disrespectful. This is not to excuse the behavior but only to offer one other possible explanation.
That's what's wrong with America right now!! So disrespectful to a group that deserves the utmost respect!!
🙏🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲🙏
People aren't being raised to have respect for themselves let alone others! They've grown up entitled and self centered! If there's ever a war the youth will fail in every way! 😠
@@vickidoulton unfortunately, I feel that is so true! And most of them did not go through any kind of military training after High School so they don't even know how to fight and most of that group doesn't know how to aim and fire a gun properly. I guess adrenaline will help if it comes down to it. I pray for my nephews and their families. It will be even worse on their kids!
🙏🇺🇲🌎👧✝️👱🌎🇺🇲🙏
Agree
Generation rising, no respect for military, American flag, discipline...it's all ego and ignorance of what reality is. If a draft is imposed, there will be a lot of sissies crying for Mama, Daddy!!!
I’m a Marine veteran. The disrespect showed by these players is disgusting.
You are 100% correct! And I am not going to give you the lame "thank you for your service." I want to tell you that I appreciate the tremendous sacrifices you made, most none of us are aware of, to defend YOUR and our country and the freedoms that most U.S. citizens take for granted. I will, however, say "thank you" for committing yourself to doing what most citizens would never even consider nowadays. The Marines, especially, are the first in and the last out. They are the best of the best! I appreciate all of our Armed Forces, but I have the utmost respect for the Marines and the grunt work they do, all the while performing beautiful, precision ceremonies like this. Marines are human beings. They deserve respect.
What respect do you deserve? I do not see America benefitting from the glob al elite wars that American military serves. The average roofer deserves more respect.
Maybe they took a knee sad
Thank you for your service..
You as a Marine vet. I wonder if you would feel the same if it were the Alphabet mob 🤔
I'm at 62 year old MARINE. Every time I watch this I get chills.. Semper Fi MARINES and all who've serve. 😎👊🏽✌🏽🇺🇸
Back at you brother.
Thanks for your service!!
I agree only camera dude should be in field....VERY DISRESPECTFUL DISRESPECT
Don't apologize, it was disrespectful. These are the real heroes, the men who will lay down their lives so their fellow countrymen can live theirs.
You are absolutely correct. Anyone on the field during their demonstration IS Super Disrespectful ! Thank you for acknowledging that fact. I appreciate your respect.
I agree!
Not really..these Men REPRESENT those who will lay down their lives so we can live ours...like their Military Band, they practice these drills for hours..they do not go to war zones then come home to be a part of this Platoon..never the less they still earn respect
@@susandelatorre6716 those soldiers, represent the entire military. Everyone who has served, everyone who gave their last measure, and everyone who is fighting today and who will fight tomorrow. There is nothing more noble or courageous than laying down your life for your brother, your country, and all that we stand for. There is no one in the military that deserves more or less respect.
DISRESPECT OUR MILITARY 😢
I am a retired US Army Paratrooper. The Marines did a great Job! The Football Players are assholes for not showing respect for them to wait until they were finished before taking the field!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🙏🏼
I thnk it's bizarre that military displays are performed at any sports game. It's like singing the national anthem before watching a movie.
I completely agree and thank you for your service also. 🇺🇸
I agree, spoiled A-holes! You, are a hero!
@@loosiluNot really.
Historically speaking displays like this were pretty common and go back a long way.
Sport goes back quite a few millennia, it’s surrounded by pageantry and was a primary source of entertainment for the populace.
Rulers, governments and people with wealth and power would use sport as an opportunity to put on a display to awe the population as well as any diplomats, visiting rulers, people of influence, etc…
The bigger the game, the bigger the display.
As a Navy veteran, I feel like it’s extremely disrespectful for anyone to be on the field until they finished!
As a former U.S. Marine Veteran that lives in Houston. The Texans management and the NFL need to have some respect. People are more interested in the Marines than a bunch of people that get paid to play with ball. Completely disrespectful.
Texans begged the Chiefs to use the name when they should have demanded the NFL return the Oilers name back from the titans (yeah, I purposely used lower case)
Used to perform at Oilers halftime games in the dome with college band. The Oilers and their management treated us like royalty. 💕
Civilian here. Marines, the people that walked on the field before you finished were ignorant because they have no idea of what it takes to earn the honor of wearing the uniform of the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. Keep us safe, Marines. Your country knows who you are and what you do. We cannot thank you enough for the courage, valor and sacrifice you have made for us.
Well said
I completely agree. Thank you. 🇺🇸
💯‼️🏆👑💪🏾👍🏾🙌🏾7️⃣💙
@@TMGettingMoney🙌🙏🤔🔜☢️🤯
A shocking display of ignorance. Thank you for your kind and wise words.
I am a US Marine and I think it's deeply disrespectful that the players would go on to the field before the silent drill platoon was done with their performance. NFL leadership sucks! No respect whatsoever.
I too am a Marine, and I would say (personally) that it's only Moderately disrespectful.
At the end of the day, The Marines are there to do a Job, but so are the Players... and the Marines are on players' turf, so I can understand it... Plus, the players probably see this sort of thing Relativley Often and probably kind of filter it out so it doesn't distract them from the game.
I still think it's mad disrespectful, but... I can also understand the players' point of view.
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Some coach or staff member somewhere probably made a mistake and told them to go out just 10 seconds too early. If you live your life looking for offense you'll always be offended.
@TheWasatchCrown 100% My guess is that it was probably Marine Leadership that led to that happening... Lt. Probably told the coach about the Marine Corp's "On time is Late" policy and dude probably didn't wanna look bad in front of the Corps and sent the boy's out a little prematurely.
Or, they might have genuinely thought it was ending and didn't realize there was still a minute or two left in the routine.
Roger Godell so disrespects the country every week. First allowing the players to kneel and now having 2 national anthems before games. Tragedy
Extremely shameful. It's offensive to all of those who serve and have served in their families
I'm a Marine Veteran and for a bunch of guys that are playing a game and won't stand for the National Anthem are aloud to interrupt a Military Ceremony is BS! Semper Fi
I agree with all my ❤
I hadn't even remembered the part where the NFL players don't stand for the National Anthem anymore. (Stopped watching a few years ago when they started that and when the NFL did their whole Futbol thing.) That really drives home the level of disrespect shown to the Marines by people who believe they are so important but have no respect for the country or people defending it who allow them to have the kind of lives that they enjoy where they are paid so well to play a game and entertain people for a very good living...
72 yo Navy veteran here. As one of over 9 million living veterans we rise and salute the silent drill team. The ones that have gone before us are walking alone side whispering commands in their ears and cheering them on.
I'm a US Marine and you are right! The NFL is incredibly disrespectful! I don't watch Professional sports because of this. College Sports events are very Patriotic! Great Video! Thank You!
It’s sickening watching coddled multi-millionaires disrespect any branch of the military, and drop a knee during our National Anthem. Marines, like yourself, don’t run towards an end-zone, but towards danger to preserve our freedom. You’re my hero, and I thank you for your service. God bless and keep you.
@@denisek292 My Pleasure.
Ya'll must be real upset that a couple thousand morons attacked our Capitol, huh? lol
why should a sporting event be "patriotic" at all? all this "thank you for your service!" nonsense is cringe ... you get a taxpayer funded paycheck and benefits galore the rest of your life, don't you? that's not good enough? everyone supposed to bow down and worship you at their football games now? grow up, the narcissism of the military is out of control and the military worship of this country needs to stop
Marine here, ‘70-‘74, I watch no sports anymore except SUMO and local dirt track racing. Gave em up in late ‘90’s early 2k’s.
Your not the only one who thinks the players on the field was disrespectful. It was 100% ...the platoon deserves and earned respect. Not the players of a ball game.
I ECHO YOUR SENTIMENTS.
Yes, very disrespectful
Stop going to games people.
@sparkykitty6870 never been to a professional game, never will. High school and younger. Oh yeah..
Nope, as soon as I saw people running on to the field I was amazed at their rudeness!!! It really ticked me off big time!!!!!
I am proud to be an American. I'm thankful everyday for each and every one of the Heroes that have served. That's why we have our freedom this is why America is a great country.
Military brat here. Dad served in Vietnam. I've seen this drill a few times, up close. The sound takes my breath away. I'm so proud of these men ❤
I am a Marine mom whose 18 year old son gave his life for the country he loved. It breaks my heart when I see disregard for those who sacrificed so much. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Semper Fi, Oohrah. Rest in peace my son.
💜
Deep condolences ma'am. Each of these men who put on the uniform are heroe's. So sad he was taken to the other side so young. In Gods care. ✝
Thank you for your son’s 3:40 service 🇺🇸🙏🏼 God bless you 💕
Thank you for your beautiful son his service and his and your sacrifice.
Thank you for the incredible sacrifice you made to our country, and for the pain you continue to endure every day. I am sure your son was as proud of you as you are of him. M.J.Conrad, Colonel, USMC (Ret)
These are MEN! Disciplined, Strong, Loyal, Courageous, and WE WILL HONOR THEM!!! God bless the MARINES!!
And F DJT.
@@stella-gx8ne typical Biden lover, always looking for opportunity to show their evil.
I'm U.S. Navy 1965 to 68 and knew a Ship full of Grunts and they are the pride of America. Rich little football players have no idea want the Marine Corp means to America!
Marine Mom here! I remember my son doing this in ROTC. When he finished Boot Camp, I was so proud of not just him but all of the young men and women standing so proud and tall. I've never been happier to get a letter in my life from the mailbox with his name on it the entire time he was gone. I saw the change in my son the second I finally got to see him at graduation. Thank you all for all you do and carry with you from start to finish in each branch of service. ❤M.O.M
Agree 100% - Athletes are entertainers, Marines are heroes. The entertainers should not dare to step on the field while the Marines occupy it.
Maybe a lot of people paid money to see entertainers (football players) ??
Was the event a football game with paid admission? or a Military event with paid admission. Who had sponsorship, who was getting pissed off with losing advertising
'time'.... etc, maybe the network was bleeding money for the 2 minutes of extra time. Loss of advertising and extra satellite hire.
You can't mix Govt events with commercial often... they just work differently. And the culture of thinking behind each is so different.
@@colonelfustercluck486 the Marines were obviously invited there. So it doesn't matter who lost money or who was bored. You show respect for them as they protect the country. And have a little dignity for yourselves and not be selfish and disrespectful of the real Men that were on that field.
@@colonelfustercluck486 I get your point, I just think sports players are entertainers, not hero's. Thats all.
@@JoeBattle I'm not disrespecting anyone. I point out the reason for a possible conflict over use of time on the field. That's is all.
@@AnthemDrums I agree. Just pointing out possible causes of conflict over those last minutes on the field. I not against the military. I'm also not against pro sportsmen.
I think most Americans would agree that it was very disrespectful for anyone other than the camera crew to be on the field. I especially dislike them kicking the ball.
Not at all disrespectful. It’s televised and every second counts. The marines know this
@zook838 one of those footballs distracts one of the Marines someone could get seriously injured. There are bayonets on those rifles!!!
And those football players would not have done that is Beyonce was performing!!!
@@zook838And you've never watched a game go into overtime and completely mess up the TV schedule. You posting your comment says a lot about your character...lack of character I should say.
“Semper fidelis” Latin for always loyal or always faithful. [Honor>Courage>Commitment] That drill was brilliantly executed. Please excuse the NFL who should know no one should be on the field during the silent drill or until the Marines exit as a sign of respect. Their years of woke-ism must have made them loose their sense of timing. The reason the NFL has the Freedom and Liberty to hold a game in a massive stadium free of conflict is because of a soldier. We sleep in a war bed at night thanks to a soldier. Every freedom we have is because of a soldier and every citizen and organization needs to always be mindful of that and honor and respect that fact alone.
@@zook838BS
my husband was a Marine for 33 years and we have seen the silent drill team at many bases including their home in DC, which was incredible. Remember civilians done know anything about respect ...
Proud wife of a US MARINE! Extremely disrespectful that anyone was allowed on the field during the silent drill.
You’re absolutely right. That was so disrespectful of the NFL to allow ANYONE on that field until the Marines were off of it. Just watching it made me angry. Now to those Marines……. That was beautiful to watch. Thank you to all of our military here and abroad for all you do
Just another reason I don't watch the NFL anymore.
The NFL is frequently disrespectful like this. It's sad.
Thankful that you sadly saw the disrespect shown by the players on the field before the drill was over. The Marines should have had the field alone.
NFL didn’t respect the US flag and allowed players to kneel during the National Anthem!
I don’t like one bit but I am not shocked but the disrespect shown by the players . If I was a player on one of these teams I would have voiced my disapproval of these disrespectful actions and would have refused to be on the field and damned the cost. The heroes in Arlington told me I was worth the cost they paid for my freedoms. Those that promote this type of disrespect are called democrats amd are the enemies of our freedoms. Aka communist basterds!
As a Marine veteran, we all felt the disrespect of those players.
Semper Fi Marine!
You actually expected those gladiators to show respect? Are you kidding me? I haven’t watched “games” at all since the idiots started refusing to stand for our National Anthem.
Just gives me another reason I won’t watch the n f l since the kneeling crap.
How exactly are they *DIS*respected ?
@@larrybrinley8222 If you have to ask you wouldn’t understand.
Only a Navy vet here.73-75. But it still brings tears to my eyes to watch these men and their manouvers!! Best at drill and first to hit the beaches. Always the best we have! The FEW!!
My son is a Marine. He refused the jab and was dismissed from duty. The poison that was given to our military men and women was an assault on our military! I love our soldiers. God bless our Marines!
I 100% agree with you! I am a US Army veteran and I found it to be VERY disrespectful by the players AND the NFL for allowing the players to start taking the field while the Marines were still performing. Remember, these players are from the SAME league that supported kneeling during our National Anthem! I find it very distasteful and disrespectful by the players but sadly, I am NOT surprised. The REAL heroes were the ones in the Marine uniforms! Not jerseys and helmets!
It wasn't a hero contest. It was a football game. Obviously the Marines are the public and popular heroes, and the Football players pursue the professional game of football.
Were the grounds organised by Football, or the Marines? Maybe the were contractual arrangements, like advertising time and satellite hire that were going to blow the budget, for the football administration.
OK, get the Marines to organize /underwrite the football grounds, satellites, and advertising penalties for not delivering contractual obligations.....
Lots of Love and thanks to you!
Prime reason I don't watch football anymore.
The fact that the marines are not distracted by the action around them on the field testifies to their ability to focus and concentrate no matter what. That's discipline.
🇺🇸
But kids are watching that it’s okay to treat our military personnel like crap!! Nice job nfl! Shame on you!
@@stephenweyuker3578Yup. But luckily it reveals the true characters of those football players and their management, so kids will learn by observation who has more integrity. It’s so obviously disrespectful
I think the players were allowed on the field to prove the Marines were capable as to not be distracted.
💯 this. People are looking for their kids to learn by examples other than what they are setting. Football players can be looked up to, but it is the parents' responsibility to teach right from wrong and use this example as a source of learning.
My Father was a Marine. He was a sharpshooter , a sniper. He was a guard for the base he was assigned to. This was a missile base, and one must have special clearance even to go onto it. I felt it was extremely rude of the players, and whoever was in charge of the stadium, to not be respectful enough to let them finish. Recently I saw a baseball game for children. At the beginning they announced they wouldn’t play the National Anthem. This did not go over well. God bless the fans that sang the anthem and showed our patriotism and respect for our flag. What is happening in the USA, that doesn’t allow us to play our own anthem. I was disgusted and broken hearted. God save us all!
US Navy veteran, big respect to my brothers in the Marine Corps.
As a former Marine, these are the jerks we have to deal with at home, NO ONE should be disrespecting our military. Those are the ones who don't care about us. To flaunt it in our faces is the ultimate disrespect. The Drills are preformed every night at the Commandants home upon the retrieval of our beloved flag, it's an official event. These men are the best of the best working in our beloved Corps. Thank you for showing us them again, they always make me swell with pride, my stomach hurts from not wanting to breathe as they preform, its so entrancing. God bless them and protect them as they go about their daily lives and defending low lives as well as those of us who cherish them. OOhRah Devil Dogs! Semper Fidelis!
Ultimate disrespect for REAL!!! These men play in WAR games with real guns and real ammo. On the other hands you have these JERKS that play with a Ball. I do understand that some come out of the games with serious brain injuries and more but this is disrespect in the faces of men who have to have total focus on the routine and they get paid a fraction of that the ball players are paid. They should be ashamed and SHAMED!!!
Thank you for your service.
YES! Very disrespectful indeed.
Where were the coaches and managers? The crowd should have booed them for their disrespect.
I have nevercseen this drill team b4. So disciplined and accurate. EXCELLENCE on display. Thanks to every Marine, incl Gen David Berger, Gen Eric Smith, Sen Dan Sullivan and my brother Kent (deceased).
My thoughts of players and photographers moving around on the field shows the incredible ability to not become distracted by activity around them. These men show strength in this.
Respect for the USMC! The announcer messed up several times introducing them and then the players and others out on the field. At least give them the courtesy of letting them finish.
The fact that the “players” got on the field during that is HORRIFIC! I can’t believe they allowed that to happen! So so disrespectful! That “team” should’ve been fined millions of dollars! It was grotesque 100%! They are so much more important than people kicking a ball around. I’m so glad you understand this! You are a honorary US citizen!❤❤❤❤
ITS THE THUG LEAGUE....COULD U IMAGINE IF THERE WASN'T A SPORT FOR THESE THUGS , HOW MUCH WORSE THEYD BE...
🎯🎯🎯
@@classicG342 oh I get so upset when I see videos of people not respecting the Kings Guard (or formerly Queens). It’s just beyond rude!
The general public is that stupid about the importance and the need for the military. Except when the shooting starts. Then they start screaming. You know just like Congress.
Well said!
The discipline of our Marine Corps is unmatched anywhere. They make their countrymen so proud!
Your a good respectful man.
That's not normal they're brought up to be unpatriotic in the schools especially, where they learn fascist values 😢.
Ambidextrously.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It’s not just Marines that make their Countrymen proud.
I agree with you 100% but I’m not surprised. It’s this attitude that made me stop watching the NFL after45 years .The fact that you didn’t like it earned my subscription. Thank you. Sempre Fi
Happy Father's Day dad. USMC, Sergeant 1st Class, Vietnam War. 2 Tours of Duty. Miss you today Dad.
I 100% agree!! NO ONE should walk onto the field while they are out there!! Totally unacceptable and disrespectful!
Yes, not the media either.
Those players wouldn’t have even stepped on the field if a band or cheerleaders had been performing.
Disrespectful "players" should be fined $100K each. Their manager should be fined $500K. Team owner should be fined $1M...and don't anyone dare say, "they can't afford it!"
You are absolutely correct. It’s terribly disrespectful to these young men. Everyone that came out on that field owes them a big apology for being rude jackasses.
You can't blame the individual players. It was a decision made by whoever was stage managing the event.
Yes I can blame the individual players. They were grown men and women on that field. They didn’t need anyone to tell them just how disrespectful it would be to go on that field with those soldiers on it. It wouldn’t have hurt anyone if they had waited for them to leave the field before going out on it. Don’t tell me it wasn’t disrespectful because it damn sure was.
@@sherryarflin726 It's a team. If you refuse to go out on the field to warm up when the coach tells you to, you will be cut.
@gotham I didn’t see but a handful a handful of players on the field with a couple of staffers. I also believe if they had stated they’d be out there as soon as the men got off the field it would’ve been ok. Imagine what would happen to a team’s reputation if they fired a player for simply waiting for a military drill team to exit the field first before taking it. I’m a big fan of football and I know what a teams reputation can mean for them. This was more important, giving these guys the respect they deserved. It was more important.
But they were contracted to be there at that time as professional players and match officials. That is their job and contractual obligation... be there, on the ground at 'X, Y and Z' time. (Or financial ruin may happen if you get sued for not complying)
If you pay their financial penalties for being late for starting the football game, I'm sure that they would help out. And be happy for the wonderful drill display, continue past deadline, for an extra 30 to 60 seconds.
People paid to watch the game... on TV or in person....
Lets see.....
TV network transmission delayed (a slot in a pre-booked system)
Advertising (contracted and paid for).... whoops..... might have to pay $10 million back, if we miss a little of that.
Satellite network hire on spot rates........ geez we missed the slot a little.... still have to pay anyway.
Venue hire and the huge logistics going into that.... oop's, all around the place.
My son was in the Marines and I couldn’t be more proud and grateful to have him come home. And I pray for every single one of our brothers in arms that they have peace in their hearts. God Bless everyone of them
Our enemies should know they don't have a chance with men with such determination and grit God bless our Marines, America and the other branche's. I love America
Stunningly disrespectful for the players to go on the field while the Marines are still there.
I’m a MC Brat and players on the field, as if the platoon wasn’t there was entirely disrespectful! But we already know NFL has little respect in their behavior. Thank you, sir, for showing this! ❤🇺🇸
This is military entertainment, not a war march. Jeez Louise 😂😂😂
@@TBrown-zy2dr It is all about respect. RESPECT!!!!
Please note that the majority of these Marine's are very young and newly enlisted private first class etc. Very impressive
The synchronised drill expertise of this platoon is utterly amazing. They make the recent UK Trooping of the Colours look like random misfits. Their discipline, commitment and precision is next level. So worthy of respect!
I'm a United States Marine Veteran and every time I see these Marines perform it brings tears to my eyes because of the pride it brings me. There's nothing like being a Marine.
Semper Fi.
Semper Fi Marine!
Great!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🙏🏼
Very disrespectful to have people on the field while United States Marine corps is performing
@brujahdon Semper Fi! As a Marine veteran myself, I consider myself very fortunate to have seen our silent drill team 5 times in the 4 years I served.
I’m no US Marine but you are right that it was disrespectful that anyone be on the field when it ended 30 seconds later. They should have stood by and watched from the sideline until it was over no matter how long it took.
Marines were not completely finished, announcer wanted them off when he spoke and then he did it twice and they still wasn’t completely finished, but they did leave. Very sad throwing a football is nothing compared to our military.💞🇺🇸💞🇺🇸💞🇺🇸💞
Each player on the field should be fined and the owners should be fined 3 times the combined total of that amount! Embarrassing!
Absolutely
Listening to these guys do their thing in a basketball court with wooden floors will give you goosebumps. The rifles thundering on the floor. I agree with you about the football team NOT going out while the Marines are performing their incredible skills. America has lost its way, we are partly clay, and partly iron. I hope you look for the Marine Corp doing their drill in a high school basketball court. Amazing, absolutely.
I served in the Navy and I have the most respect for our marines. They are vital part of our department.
A proud Mama here. My son was a member of the SILENT DRILL PLATOON FROM WASHINGTON, DC.
Thank him for a great performance.
--Their exemplary performance and conduct makes the American People extremely proud, congratulations to all, long live our vastly superior Western Civilization of decency and honor!
Thank you ma’am, they did an outstanding job. 🇺🇸👏👏👏
I know you are PROUD MOM, They were absolutely AMAZING!!! I loved it and please convey our disgust for what the NFL players did and the disrespect for our soldiers and all these young men. My daughter is Army and I would be livid. God Bless You and Your family. Thank all of them for their service to The United States Of America.
Thank you mom for bringing a great young man to this world. I salute your son.
AS A RETIRED UNITED STATES MARINE SNCO, I AM QUITE PROUD OF THESE YOUNGSTERS AND PROUD TO BE A MARINE JUST LIKE THEY ARE. THEY ARE THE CORPS SUPERSTARS............🇺🇸🪖🙏🏾😁
My grandfather was a Master Chief Petty Officer for the Navy. He received the Purple Heart for an injury he sustained during WWll. He never got the shrapnel removed, it was a constant pain to him the rest of his life-he didn’t want it removed. He wanted to be reminded of his fellow Sailors that didn’t make it back. To see any disrespect of the flag hurts me to the core.
Discipline is of the highest order in the United States Marine Corps. The Marine Corps Silent Drill Team is the epitome of what the Marine Corps stands for. I have had two opportunities to watch these Marines perform. First at Camp LeJeune, NC in 1977 and again at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1979. Semper Fi!
As a momma of 3 veterans I wanted to cry @ the disrespect of those worthless people on the field. 😢 our soldiers deserve so much more.
Thank you for their service, and your sacrifices as their momma. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
The disrespect shown by those players that entered the field and acted out their practices while the incredible Silent Marine Drill Team performed their incredible perfect performance is beyond disgustingly disrespectful.I would have entered the field when thy were playing their game sang God Bless Americaoutloud and surely been arrested. Keep Aiming High Always. (N)
Another Mom of 3 veterans here, and I agree. My Navy Vietnam Vet Dad always told if the disrespect shown, but today disrespect for veterans and the lack of patriotism is both sad and scary. History repeats itself if not taught to future generations.
"Worthless people," I would add IGNORANT, you are right.
At the unknown soldiers memorial while changing the guard a rifle was dropped stabbing the soldier through his foot with the bayonet.
The soldier not only did not even wince he kept time with the changing of the guard to the end of the ceremony. Only to have his wound cared for after leaving the area. That is called respect for our fallen heros.
I remember that incident and I remember they reported that his shoe was full of blood once he got inside but he dared let on as if he was hurt because that ceremony is an incredible sight to behold and nothing except you dropping dead should ever interfere.
Everyone should go and experience the changing of the gaurd at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I've experienced it once and am ready to go back. Once DC calms down I want to take my family.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It’s a Marine thing. It happens and they don’t complain. Complaining=dishonor.
Thanks for letting us know that.My son is a marine 10yrs/ 4 deployed (war 2003-2014)He was a Gentleman right out of Highschool)Had a wife and a 4 yrs old daughter.) Thanks
As a Marine who has spent many many hours in drill, thank you for your interest and appreciation of our traditions
Those who are coming onto to the field while yes to warm up are part of the grander mindset of serve us and be willing to sacrifice everything for our cause just do not bother us to respect you. That is part of a being a service member. Taken for granted
I am proud to be a daughter of a United States Marine!!!!! Rest in peace Dad!!!!
I am extremely proud of these young men. My nephew is a MARINE and I agree No One should be on the field except them. They are extremely disciplined. Im Indigenous Native Amerindian many of my family has served in the military. May GOD continue to protect our Service Men. Thank you for watching the MARINES silent drill platoon. They are the ones we need if anything happens in our Country.
🇺🇸💫🤍🙌🏽😢
I agree. Thank you
💯💯💯
Your opinion is correct. So disrespectful to the soldiers who are committed to protecting and dying for the football players.
LOL, Marines aren't soldiers. Don't call them that. We are Marines, not soldiers. (Brainwashing is fun, it can still trigger me 40 years after the fact 😂😂)
With all respect, they aren't soldiers; rather, U.S. Marines.

When has a Marine ever died for a football player
@@kennyperkins1843 and was it Soccer Football, American Football, or Rugby Football?
Former US Marine, I served ten years, and I use to watch the silent drill team practice outside my barracks while stationed in Yuma, AZ.
This makes me cry. Such disrespect these football players showed. My father served in the marines in Korea and loved the drill team. I was fortunate to see them perform time and time again. My ex was a marine that served in a silent drill in college that was graded by the marines. I got to know them thru this. People don’t realize the difficult level because of the weight of the guns to have that level of sharpness, accuracy and timing.
You are absolutely correct, it was extremely disrespectful to the Jarheads. Even though I was in the Army, I would never disrespect them like that. Those teams and their coaches should be ashamed of themselves.
It's the disgraceful NFL.
I only served four years active duty as a military nurse. All I can say is no one and I mean, no one salutes like a Marine!!! Big respect 🫡
Only? That’s amazing you served your country of your own free will. I’m an Afghanistan veteran myself.
Thank you to all service members! I live you and pray for all of you. God bless you and god bless America
I agree with you. No one should have been on the field that could distract the Marines from their concentration. I appreciated your respect for the uniform and what it represents, not to mention the constant practicing so they can present this program flawlessly. Hats off to you!
You are not incorrect, it is very insulting to those great soldiers that represent the finest strength, precision, dignity and honor of America.
When I saw them getting interrupted i was pissed. Unholy disrespectful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was a Marine Infantry Rifleman for 12 years, did 5 combat deployments, I want to thank you for calling these guys heroes. I myself don't see myself as anything close, but the buddies that did not have the same opportunity those are heroes. I am used to being called a killer, a murderer, I should have died like the rest of my friends, and so many other things by fellow Americans. Thank you for saying something kind about these Marines. Semper Fidelis
10:32 "THOSE are heroes." USMC Silent Drill Platoon.
You need not apologize, Andre. Totally agree with you, no one should be on the field until the Marines are finished. This is the "new" National Football League.
New? No Shantz. They've always been money grubbing a*s holes.
tbf it could've been an innocent but very unfortunate miscommunication, too.
stuff happens sometimes. ran into it back in high school marching band a couple times during half time performances. one time the other team was stopped before they entered the field, one time they got stopped after (and started to get in our way a bit). also once had a band at a competition move to set up a shade too early as well, right after we finished but before we could leave the field.
in jrotc i've been in a drill competition where one group was incorrectly told they could enter through a passageway, and it almost mucked with our routine (it was a small room, tbf).
i've also helped run multiple years of a local special olympics, and one year the parents ran onto the field when they were never supposed to be allowed entry, after a miscommunication.
@@dead-claudia even so, the players SAW them! C'mon!! They weren't taught respect.
I wrote the National Felon League a few years ago due to their stupidity and LOW standards they have now.
Yes, the 'take a knee' generation'. God forbid they ever pick up a weapon and fight a real right.
I so agree with you that no one other than the Marines should be on the field. This is very disrespectful.
Do the Marines, own, lease or rent that field? Who-ever lawfully pays the lease or rent has occupation of the field.
What about the off-field items, like TV and Satellite channel slots..... pre-paid.
ON-field logistics, food, drink, waste disposal... everything
And the pre-paid advertising..... the Marines paying that, or are you contributing to the penalties.....
@@colonelfustercluck486 no one is suggesting that it's in any way their property or responsibility. someone invited them. that someone, is paying for and/or responsible for all those things you cited. the marines didn't just show up to intrude and disrupt those things. and virtually none of those things were disrupted by their presence. those football players could have waited a couple minutes without any cost to your list of strawmen. and all of that is irrelevant to the concerns of these posters. this is simply a matter of respect. for which they clearly have none. am i the only one not surprised by their behavior? or your totally off the mark response?
You are right nobody should be on the field. Hats off to the crowd for being quiet and respectful
You are not wrong for criticizing. Sports has become a god in this nation, which I despise. These are the true hero’s just like you said.
Total disrespect. And they never ever gave it one thought. In their mind the whole day was about them. Never mind these are the true heroes!
The Silent Drill Platoon doesn't practice until they get it right. They practice until they can't get it wrong.
Bloody well said 👍👍
Most certainly!
Perfect. Nothing less than perfection.❤❤❤
The pride for our Marines is filling my heart and running down my face!!!! RESPECT!!! 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙
Appreciate your comments on the respect. Those football players should have also saluted their passing.
Proud mother of a Marine here, I cried watching this video.
My son is a Marine Veteran and once a Marine, ALWAYS a MARINE!
I started America's Flag Truck 16 years ago when my son enlisted, and it's main purpose is to honor our Military and Veterans and their Families!
🇺🇸 AMERICA 🇺🇸
@thePoconoPatriot, thank you for your service!
@deborahl.goforth3295 I could never get in during the Vietnam War & my draft number was 25. I now do what I can to help & acknowledge our Veterans!But thank you.
I said this to someone else that, whether our child, our parents or any member of our family served that we served as well and that is why I thanked you. I was in the USAF, my dad was USN, my husband was USAF, his brothers were USMC and my son was USAF and it has long been acknowledged that if any member of your family served then you had served too because of the support we give them.
1000% agree with you! NO one should be out there until they have completely vacated the field
Proud daughter of a Lifer in The USMC. first husband USMC Viet Nam vet. Second husband US Army and Viet Nam vet. He passed away13 yrs ago. Growing up if the National Anthem came on the TV we stood up in the living room
All my respect all day every day.
As the widow of a Marine/ Texas State Trooper thank you for your comments and respect you showed towards our Marine Warriors. I am so ashamed of these football players that showed so little respect but then seems that here lately so many of these present day athletes have no concept of what honor and respect means. They have no respect for our flag and our National Anthem much less for our men and women who are so willing to pay the ultimate price so that they and their families can live free. Again thank you!!
Thank you for your husband’s service 🇺🇸🙏🏼 God bless you 💕
It was very upsetting to me, an old lady, to see those worthless players running out like they did. And then so much movement on the sidelines... But these dedicated Marines stayed true and perfectly completed their task. In my heart, they are unconditionally the best of the best.❤
Yes, thank you for your husband's service and your service as well. I agree with every word you said. Thank you for saying it so much better than I.
We respected police, solders, firemen, that's how I grew up, Americans should be ashamed for how the military is treated
I also agree with you about the importance of respect to the military drill team. I was in the military for 12yrs, when I was in my first enlistment I was part of the base color guard, which doesn't do anything like these guys do. We marched in parades, carrying flags, and performed 21 gun solutes and funeral honors. But it was volunteer, all practice done on our own time, which wasn't easy when we had Carrier Air Wings onboard and they're flying 24hours around the clock. I worked in ordnance, and those squadrons doing as much flying, night and day ops as possible for that week or 2 they were there. It takes a lot of discipline and practice to look as good as these Marines look. Very impressive.
As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I am very grateful for the respect and solemnity that this "European" narrator has demonstrated in this excellent video. I would like to add that I have Cancer and may live only 2 more years (but I think God wants me to overcome this and be strengthened by the experience in order to be strong enough physically, emotionally, and spiritually in order to do something (?) that He wants me to do, (and I mean this as
a former Chaplain of a U. S. military veterans organization) and I wish to thank the noble narrator for giving me something to "lift my spirits ". God bless you, all your loved ones, and thank you very much.
Agreed!
Don’t apologize for the disgraceful, rude,disrespectful behavior of those football players and more importantly their coaches. This was wrong.
Why can’t we acknowledge this?
Fact is, no one respects our country anymore. To the other countries we’re a joke
Hats off to you soldiers! Your display & talent was outstanding. Thank you for your service 🙏
It’s not true that no one respects our country or military. As you can see by the posts here a lot of people do, we don’t watch football and don’t walk into the middle of a Marine Corps Silent Drill. We have too much respect.
Your comment that no one respects the country anymore. You should have been listening to the video. He says, "these are the real heroes, there are many of them in America".
The truth is, Americans are a joke to a certain group of Americans.
Wow- look at that precision! So proud of our marines! 🇺🇸
Mad respect for these men that volunteer to be soldiers. I was also in marching band from 6th to 12 grade and everyone of those men have a perfect 8 steps to 5 yard stride that is amazing.I also marched with rifles ours were wooden and only weighed 7 lbs, I got my nose broken 2 times. . It is extremely difficult I got the chills and teared up a bit
I'm an Army vet. The upside down V on their shoulders, the chevrons, indicate their rank, which also can indicate how long they've been in the Marines. Most of them were privates and corporals, meaning they've only been in the Marines for a few years. These aren't old soldiers who have done this for decades. These are young (very young by the looks of it) Marines who have spent months doing almost nothing else but practice, practice, practice. I am in awe!
Thank you for your service. May God bless you and your family. You are an American hero.
😊ikk😊😊
And they are Volunteers! Not just volunteers to join the Marines, but Volunteers to be doing all the extra duty to do this! The players bouncing around on the field there make many times as much as these men do and get applause while sitting on the bench.
Definitely new, mainly because they like to be as uniform as possible. Same height, same rank, same awards.
Good try, not really completely accurate.
There are no privates out there. Everyone is at minimum a Lance Corporal (e-3) that's 1 chevron and crossed rifles underneath. 2 chevrons indicates a Corporal which is a NCO.
The chevrons aren't upside down. You have the chevron and crossed rifles until Staff NCO which is E-6. Then you get a rocker underneath the chevrons from that point on when you make rank.
The hash marks on the sleeve near the wrist indicate 4 years of service per hash.
Those are all very young Marines. That's what's so impressive.
Thank you, as a wife of a marine, for saying you have a lot of respect for them. They are heros
Thank you for your husband’s service 🇺🇸🙏🏼God bless you 💕
LORD, protect these men. Bless them, give them strength.
As a brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and grandson of veterans I totally agree with the Marine who stated that it was disrespectful that the players started back to the field. All possible respect should always be given to those who chose to defend We the people.
So then F DJT. VOTE 🌊🌊🌊
They deserve all the respect this country can give them.vThe NFL IS A JOKE. CANT STAND THE NFL AND ITSRULES. THEYY SYPHON.
No respect..
Agreed
I'm American and embarrassed to admit I haven't heard of or seen this USMC Silent Drill Platoon. What did I just see???!!!!!! Goosebumps on top of goosebumps. These soldiers are beyond impressive with their precision and skills You make America proud. Semper Fi.
ALL OF OUR ARMED FORCES DESERVE THE UT MOST RESPECT. AND DESERVE A COMANDER AND CHEIF WHO DOES NOT HAVE DEMENTIA!
U.S. Citizen. I agree 100% The players and others should not have been on the field. Very disrespectful.
As someone who has been through army platoon drills, finding one person in a company that can perform such high level drills with such precision is pretty rare. All the respect to our marine brothers.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🙏🏼
10:44 agreed, respect for the US Military 🇺🇸 is diminished. The Drill corp is absolutely amazing. Gives you chills
