    A former student of mine graduated high school early in December and left for Boot Camp in January. I was worried about him because he was kinda of a skinny kid. He came back after graduating from Boot camp, looked like he put on 10 pounds of muscle, from what he said was non stop PT. He said the best moment of his life was when he finished the Crucible and his DI handed him his pin, shook his hand and said "Congratulations, Marine."

      there was a Marine expeditionary unit that was at sea near Somalia thwt stopped before the Blackhawk down incident I don’t know how long they stayed in the capital till relived of duty by the army v… in Korea it got wild during the Battle of Chosin Reviser the Marines were surrounded by the chineee it is then Chesty said We’re surrounded. That simplifies the problem.” And “They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away now.” .. now I may be wrong here but I seem to remember the chines lost 7 divisions In the battle I may be totally wrong I haven’t read about the Koran war as much as as WW2 but being the veterans had seen fierce fighting in the Pacific theater of operations so they were battle hardened

    now a Major , the CORPS runs deep in our family . As does the love of America . We also have Navy , several generations , Army several generations , Air Force , and even 1 who could not pass a physical in WW2 so he became an Air Raid Warden on the east coast in New Jersey .

    Who was the artist of this video? He or she did NO research and has no concept of Marine's uniforms or weapons. Good verbal overview even though it lacked the "shores of Tripoli" and the reason the US Marine Corps was sent to war in the Med by Jefferson in 1801. The Continental Marines were established in 1775 but disbanded after the revolution. The United States Marine Corps was established for the Barbary wars.. But the artwork is a horrendous misrepresentation of what they brave men looked like all though the historical periods spoken about from 1775 to today.
