Amphibious warfare is treacherous; moving a military force from sea to land can turn mistakes into disasters. As the US military begins to focus its attention on the Asia-Pacific region, an area of increasing military tension and territorial disputes, the Marine Corps is being called upon to return to its roots in amphibious assault. VICE News visited RIMPAC, the world's largest maritime warfare exercise, to see how the Marine Corps is testing new technologies and tactics to face the new challenges of amphibious warfare and remain the world's preeminent amphibious force in the future.

Talks about US Marines:
Half the videos are australian
It was a joint exercise with American and Australian marines the marines do that alot they like to do these exercises with different forces
Aye
Yes but funded by U.S. tax payers/consumers.
The start was Kiwis guys
that is what a joint exercise is, pal.
Marines in Normandy???? Didnt this guy do any research on the subject??? The ARMY landed in Normandy, the Marines were in the Pacific. What a waste.
T0750 I think there actually were some marines at D-day they had some kind of special mission to climb on there and destroy some heave artillery if im not mistaken.
DutchPool if u are referring to Pointe du Hoc, those were Army Rangers.
Marines did help make the operation but weren't in it. If I remember correctly.
+TheJefrey24 never heard that before, link?
***** I don't remember where I looked it up or where I found. Said something about Marines helping out the operation but weren't in it. That I did a quick search "Marines helped with Normandy". I ain't sure if there is anything official. I haven't fully looked into it, curiosity got to me when I've found something else interesting when I was looking up the Normandy landings. Sorry if I didnt had the link though. More or less I should of actually said "I think" then "If I remember correctly" lol
Don't bother going any further. This comment sections a lost cause
Indeed! Best comment yet.. B. Herman, USMC. 1985 -1989.
Indeed. We must exterminatus it.
@@CHEF-55457 calling rn
Marines never landed in Germany. They were out island hopping and kicking imperial ass in the Pacific
Chuck Finley Normandy is in France, not Germany.
I could argue that since it was conquered by Germany at the time it was German land, or we can say that I wasn't paying attention to what I was typing (which is what happened bc I'm really good at geography just wasn't paying attention I suppose lol) and just go on with our lives...
It wasn't Germany, it was German occupied France. The geography of the world doesn't change because of who owns the land, countries are countries. Politics are a whole different story.
Chuck Finley France didn't come together because of political leaders, it was this bad-ass little bitch named Joan.
Thomuslim Countries are political entities. At that time, "France" as a political entity ceased to exist, so you could say it was Germany. Otherwise, it's all just land.
hate how there were Australians everywhere but they weren't mentioned once :(
+Lethal Bacon one day we'll get a mention ahahah
+Lethal Bacon STRAYA
+Blackvikingx Its not like us soldiers and Marines forgot about them, though. Dont worry, theyre still respected.
+Blackvikingx yeah, we're a land girt by sea, we should have been included :(
+XxBillyGoatNinjaxX I know that ahaha i just would have liked it if vice mentioned them in the vid cos clearly they played a large part seeing you hear and see them so often, also when they list some of the nations involved it shows Australians but doesnt even say there name :(
Did anyone else see the Australian Military at the start?
I did :)
Yes! So happy to see our troops.
They were all through out it. New Zealand's military looks very similar too, but I'm sure they were both there
Its a shame that they're replacing that sexy camo.
U mean the aug
Normandy was stormed by the US Army but ok
But Marines took the Pacific islands.
Iwo Jima and Okinawa were stormed by Marines but ok
Trippbennett01 No shit but Normandy was US army....
im not sure what your saying, are you saying that only the US stormed normandy?, or that the service branch was involved in it?
He means service branch, there wasn't any marine unit involved in Normandy.
Shout out to the Aussie troops not mentioned in the video!!
Those are not Australian troops they were Canadian!!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@waltking9141 there were both
Canadian mannnnnn did you listen to them didn’t sound Canadian and the weapons they use aussies use the sty rifle not sure what Canadians use but they were Aussie
@@waltking9141 look on the patch
Walt King 6:40 Aussies, also later in the video it shows one of our aircraft carriers
*says USMC hit normandy when they never did and shows footage of iwo jima* 2:27
The army hit Normandy Lol
I think he said it cuz it rhymed
@@Saboguin he could had said "from halls of Montezuma to coast of tripoli" since it's the chant
@@andrew9371 marine he said
Everyone is talking about the U.S. and WW3, but I thought this video was pretty cool.
Their we go someone using the wordsUS and WW3 in a non Biased insane moronic way.
LordaeronTactics I agree with your sentiment, but it is ironic that the icon of the OP is the sign for radiation. Just had to chuckle there.
"Including the US" shows Australian soldiers, Why no mention of the ADF although they are seen very often?
Yeah I noticed that
same reason they talk about how amazing the mv-22 osprey is, yet ever shot and every troop is on or around a ch-53e... they have target points to talk about, everything else gets cut out.
US media doesn't mention foreign militaries if they don't have to
Ameericaaa, fuck yeah!
Saxon Weed because the exercise is being hosted by the US even though there are other foreign militaries.
I served in the Navy on the Nimitz over 20 years ago. That ship is still in service, but retiring in a few years. I wish that some of the equipment we see here was available back then. It's amazing to see how different our military is today. The Osprey and Cujo would seem almost like Star Wars tech for us back then.
VICE News goes to the world's largest naval exercise to see how Marines are training for the future of amphibious warfare.

Great video can't wait to see more like this!
Loving this, more to come I hope? And the guy Larsen, I'm liking him to knows his stuff!
AWESOME thank you !! ... hope to see more mini documentaries, especially about militaries :)
Rupert Murdoch owns a percentage of VICE NEWS. You can see the influence shine. War talk by war men. "Get ready to fight" and "china is the enemy". another part of the world is about to be turned into scum and raped for all its worth in dollars and yen so we will be losing the true value of the region. That Marine talking to the Japanese landing party needs to check his 6 because back home his country is rotting and the things the old marines fought for are being taking away from their people. The people of the USA. Launch that battle group on the USA, take back power their and save the world from the party crashing scumbag "elitists". Because freedom.
More stuff like this VICE!
A large majority of the soldiers shown fighting during the exercise are actually Australian. It's pretty disappointing that they're not mentioned.
Never mind. So you don't have to take the blame for the next american warcrime. So how are those people doing you robbed the land from?
You mean Aboriginals? I wouldn't know because the only encounter I've had with them is when a few teenage cunts broke into my home and robbed me.
itsjontyful
Oh that's not nice. Maybe their little try to take back what was taken from their ancestors. Hope you got away unhurt. As for the australians not mentioned here. Everybody in Europe speaks most highly about the australian and new zealandian courage at Gelibolu/Gallipoli. Well except turkish, british, austrian and german ultra-nationalists ;-)
Well if they didn't have a bloody chip on their shoulders maybe they could settle down. They get everything for free! Aboriginals at my school get free university educations!
@@calenancarrow7547 found the racist Australian
I'm from Palau , and knowing there a US ship out there named after one of our 16 states (Peliliu) is such a honor. Thank you USA 🇺🇸🇵🇼
Are there any US troops stationed in Palau permanently? Does the US military uses Palau as some kind of small base? Thnx for the answer..
@@markbrisec3972 yes there are US troops stationed here. You can search it on YT , Civic Action Team Palau. They basically help us with typhoon disaster, help schools, and many other stuff. Not until a week ago they finally built a runway on one of our state (Angaur State) , and It seems to be their first official base for defense purposes.
@jacob f thank you 😊
@@markbrisec3972 yes there are us troops stationed here. You can search it on YT, Civic Action Team Palau. They help us alot with road building and building homes and a lot more ! They usually rotate between US Army , Navy , and Air force . Not until a week ago they have built a runway on Angaur State (one of our 16 states) which might be there first official base for defense purposes
i would believe the name would be after a battle during ww2, seeing as most LHD’s are named after Battle’s Marines partook in. It’s a pretty cool thing, and it honors the servicemen and women that died for liberation of the Pacific, and the rest of the world.
3:36 that water is beautiful af btw
TAYLOR 'D 6:00 😍
12:42, I loved this part. "Once enemies, now warriors together."
2:27, VICE News, there is a factual inaccuracy in your report. the United States Marine Corps never saw action on Normandy; the USMC fought on the Pacific theater. Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Peleliu, Guadalcanal, etc.
There was 5 marines that did fight in Europe go look it up
Pendejo
Well maybe 4 marines it's been awhile since i did research on it
@@deadlygeneral6798 It was more than five, they assisted the Navy during the landings, and there were elements of the USMC that fought even during the Battle of the Bulge. I met a Marine who made it through both, including a close call with a Panzer in the Ardennes Forest.

It switched to chinese soldiers just as it said china, so no
The flag and china does need to correlate

Crazy man...Shit like this makes me wish I joined the military.
play Call of Duty you'll get over it. lol
***** Are you a woman? You definitely sound like one. If wants to be a warrior, so be it.
John Cirry That's the sort of ignorance I expect from those that have never experienced fighting or war. Good job.
its good to have this kind of people, i wish they are more people like you more volunteer in the army no need to draft men who doesn't want to join the army
John Cirry
You do realize that warriors are obsolete today? All warrior skills that one might have are useless when IED blasts you. Not to mention that on modern battlefield skinny guy that can't do one push up can kill you with a press of a button. War is no longer about warriors, it's about organization, technology and resources. If you want to be just part of some number displayed on some statistic by all means, join the army.
9:37 does it seem like they are moonwalking for a split second or am I just slowly going crazy?
0:31 - Australian infantry, patch, accent. No mention in video. We all know these are joint exercises but Australia is also a strategic SEA location with complex interests in the area. Good to see our guys getting around and experiencing training with other forces though.
Ben Arrow Thank you! Also all countries seem to ignore our SAS which are practically joined with the British, but still it would be nice to be noticed as being part of the worlds best specialist force.
Lachlan Sanderson as a Canadian the Australian military is sick, Anzacs fought along side us in ww1 & ww2
Thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t realize they weren’t mentioned even after reading the 700 comments left by ppl saying they weren’t mentioned.
I love how they were talking about MARINES landing and doing amphibious assaults yet a lot of the footage is the Australian Army doing amphibious assaults, thanks for leaving out the mention of us Aussies Vice
A robotic cow that can move gear.
So...when will Metal Gear be released?
I hope Japan is really working on a Gundam. Even though it would be a badass weapon, that would still be pretty cool!
Japan is gonna denounce their Peace constitution and reveal to the World their first series of metal gears!
Finally somebody's asking right questions. I hope to live to see the day gigantic robot suits towering over cities and revolutionizing urban warfare all together.
All those robots are American made :)
I have participated in two RIMPACs only as a trigger puller, and that shit sucks. A month on ship for a two day land assault. And AAVs suck.
Thanks for your time and patriotism
I live in Hawaii and I remember seeing a shit ton of military aircraft flying around in the summer and a few destroyers out in the water. Maybe I should look for some AAV tracks on the beach near the military base
Grunts sure loved passing out in the back of them like babies
Didn't mention the Australian soldiers, good job vice
+cooper cae No worries mate !!!! When the day comes OZ Military Forces will kick asses !!!!!!!!!
+cooper cae or Canada. They dont understand how important we are!
+cooper cae Why should they have?
patsfatcats Nasty Balls Mate !!!!!!!!
+alpha1138- Canada and auzzie have minor militaries compared to the US.
Imagine if this effort was made to discover new life in space
I know right, when you see Americas military budget you're STAGGERED. Its not a real amount of money, and thats EVERY year they spend that. We'd have fucking warp drive in 15-20 years if we ploughed that money into getting off this fucking rock.
That would be pretty crazy. But I think most people look at the budget the wrong way. Everyone wants nickel and dime the military and put that money elsewhere, which makes sense but it isn't the most rational thing to do and is ultimately short-sighted. The more interesting conversation would to ask what does a military cost that most EFFECTIVELY meets the needs of our national security? See with that approach you have to evaluate what our current and projected threats are, how capable we are of addressing those threats, and what improvements need to be made so we can gain or maintain an edge against those threats. Now we will discover life in space long before we ever do things as I just suggested which is the really sad thing.
NASA did spend billions on space exploration
Justin H The US spends $640 billion a year on the military, i think the Apollo program was given $110 dollars over 10 years, and thats in inflation adjusted dollars. They were given $20 billion in 1960's dollars. So yes NASA did get some reasonable funding over the years but the military is far and away the biggest winner. Now can you imagine spending half the defence budget on space every year? $320 billion, thats 3 R&D projects on the scale of the Apollo moon landings every year!
assuming we all lived long enough to get that technology. Having no military (or a poorly equipped/outdated one) is like leaving the door to your house wide open while you go out. Do you really think that'd be a smart idea?
Nice footage of Auzzie troops
Literally 70% of the troops shown were Aussie lol
and there was no credit given
i came here for aussies
Um there NZDF mate
ADF and NZDF are shown here. We can all have some national pride here.

Marines didn't land in Normandy...
Although D-Day was an amphibious assault, the Marines did not land at Normandy. Instead, they fought the the Pacific front of WWII almost entirely by themselves, hopping from Island to Island and defeating half of the axis single-handedly.
That General totally rehearsed his interview.
2:28 Normandy? The US Marine Corps didn't participate in the European theater it was all Pacific
+lance chastain Well they did to an extremely, extremely limited extent. I mean there may have been only a few hundred marines present at Normandy, compared to the 156,000 troops from other services. While there were virtually none, there still were.
+MrJohnramboguy They didn't even land in Normandy, they were just a reserve to watch the invasion
They landed on point du hoc, please stuff if you don't know what you are talking about
*Edit* I'm a fucking idiot.
Calipto The second and fifth ranger battalion landed at Pointe du hoc, what are you smoking?
lance chastain IDK WAS TIRED
the US marines sergeant's hat is beyond words
+Bris Vegas And the chinese when they were talking to him were wearing bike helmets.
+Coop DeLoop japanese*
+Coop DeLoop Because the US soldier saying " Bushido code " and " Japanese warrior is well in you " wasn't enough to give to a hint that those Asians were not Chinese but Japanese..
But that's often too much asked to think outside of the Chinese when we talk about Asians.
He was a two star general... did you not see the rank pins?
For a moment I thought he was talking about bushido to chinese soldiers, wich would've been very stupid and racist. Then I realized they were japanese.
I wish the United States made it easier for Irish soldiers to join their army. We are some of the finest soldiers the world has ever seen, and have been excellent warriors ever since the Celtic times. We successfully defeated the single largest empire in the world at the time when we defeated the British in July 1921. Some of the finest Brigades of the American Civil War were comprised solely of Irish heroes, and if only the US could make military service a quicker path to citizenship, like Romney suggested during the last presidential debates, the US would not regret it for a second.
Jack Reaper its not about winning wars.. go check out the Irish guards or royal irish regiment..
Dude Ireland has some great armed forces but just very small we should have a foreign regiment in the u.s army
***** I'm no expert, but they train you to be like that, they don't expect anyone to be like that without special training. The main requirement is tolerance to pain. Of course, this is based off a youtube video I saw, so 50% chance I'm completely wrong.
I am glad you like our military but shouldn't you want to fight for Ireland, your homeland? You may or may not be able to be in our military but many of us Americans do appreciate the support and would be honored to fight alongside our European brothers if the need was there. Some of our people may act like asses but we are happy for the support no matter how stubborn some of us come off. :) My family being of Irish descent I would be more than grateful to fight alongside the Irishmen any time, any place :)
This is a weirdly specific political comment, when the video is about war training exercises in the Pacific.
The Marine Corp, the toughest men with the worst gears.
+DerAnus its not. they get hosed when it comes to gear. Airforce gets the best gear. Army is somewhere in the middle.
best hand me downs ever tho. ain't nobody fucking with the cobra.
an apache? lol
Marines = My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment, Sir!
No one even noticed that Indonesian amphibious vehicle (LVT-7?) being showcased at 4:27
Gue liat bro. Indo emang ikutan
Keep up the good work boys. The sane amongst us are proud of the training you put in.
Hey Vice, correct me if I am wrong, but there were no Marines at Normandy. The American landings at D-Day were carried out by the US Army.
You are correct. As far as I know the USMC was deployed exclusively in the Pacific.
Yeah but marines had their own DDay Iwo Jima
Yes, many beach landings in the Pacific, but the reporter specifically mentions the Normandy landings.
Joevonni Vega They had their own D-Day many times. Iwo Jima and Okinawa are two of the most famous. But Saipan and Guam are also on the list.
you are correct to my knowledge, all though there may have been onesies or twosies on ship carrying out some sort of support role
Looks cool, Good I'm living for boot camp this January :)
GO Marines !!... SO proud of being a Marine 1965 - 1967 2nd Marine Air Wing Beaufort South Carolina United States of America....
12:40
And I see that the Bushido Code is alive...
kinda gave me goosebumps
A giant Chess game were lives are the expendable piece for an unknown endgame.
What other way could it have been?
a marine unit was on standby at normandy but i don't think they actually went ashore.
This is the perfect example of keeping your friends close and enemies even closer
great video. super informing
Not one mention of Australia even though around 50% of the footage was of 2RAR and amphib assaults they were conducting
That was 5RAR I was in the video.🙂
lol, dipsticks there were no U.S. marines at Normandy only Royal marine commandos on the british beachs
so?
William Tailor what do you mean so. guy in the video talks about "the Marine Corp has been hitting the beach's for 200 years from Tripoli to Normandy and beyond". a pretty stupid mistake to make in a documentary about the Marine Corp and amphibious warfare.
***** I don't know why your saying this to me my comment is about the mistake the narrator made towards the beginning of the video about where he say's "the Marine Corp has been hitting the beach's for 200 years from Tripoli to Normandy and beyond", I was pointing out the fact that no US Marines took part in Normandy, the only marines present on D-Day were British. it seemed a silly and obvious error to make in a documentary that you would expect to be well researched.
***** all the marines that were where? if your referring to joint training exercise's in the video that's not what my comments were in regard to but rather the mistake the narrator made near the beginning of the video
***** np
Awesome documentary, never saw RimPac that up close in such highres quality.
Great video. Not what I expected.
How in the world do they get this fantastic footage and access?
Most countries are fine with showing stuff about their military unless they feel it would endanger an operation ever
Prior Strict Media Clearance
Every segment featuring this guy is always great. Keep putting him to work vice! Awesome reporting and definitely an important developing story.
When the Ad for the video is more wholesome and better than the actual video.
The only Marines at Normandy were on ships offshore.
China=quantity. US=quality.
But one is rising, the other on a collision course. The usa isn't getting much more support in the wider world, by that I mean beyond europe. South America don't care about the Yankees, neither Africa, Russia and a whole lot of Asia. That's the last card an empire can use, violence since its race to superpower title.
utubewatchinhesk A lot of countries in Asia don't like China.
Connor Dunn Confirmed. Ask Vietnamese, Thais, Taiwanese, People from Hong Kong. They all hate Chinese government, less Chinese people
utubewatchinhesk Do you honestly think the US cares about support from those shitholes you just named>
No.
China= Quantity
America= Technology
Britain= Quality
The more you know.
"The day is coming, be ready for that fight and we will stand together to beat any foe." - US officer to Japanese troops
yeah i watched the video too jackass
Yea funny. If the tensions between China and Japan are getting worst, which side USA will choose??...
The cool bushido side or the biggest army side...
E. Lebrunet Japan most likely.
@@e.lebrunet6311 they have a military base in okinawa, probs japan
I love how the marines shared this on their facebook page
Why didn’t you mention Australia when they were everywhere in the video we are one of America’s greatest Alliy 🤬🤬🤬
the moron doesnt even know US Marines were never deployed in the europe and yet mentions Normandy. and you expect him to know about Austalia ? lol
We need you strong, Australia.
Respect to our aussie bros. Honored to know our nations stand together. Sorry this tool forgot to mention.
@@BellisariusScaevola "Floating tanks", made my day. The soldier knew it is not any tank but he also knew the guy will not understand what it actually is so he agreed with that statement. Later they call it with proper type - postproduction...
Let’s not forget our great neighbour New Zealand they help us with everything
SE Asia has some of the best libo ports for those Marines. I had a blast when I was deployed there although my butthole puckered hard when the AAV went off the well deck into the water, because either you come back up and break the water or you sink.
Rah.

Yeah boys!

Love the Royal Marine opening scene.
the only Marines present at Normandy were those attached to naval vessels like the USS Texas, for example.
Can I just mention that half of that footage was Australian Soldiers and there isn't one mention of them...
It's because the U.S. U.K. and Australia are all won

"an amphibious ship" ... one gotta love that.
like how you said US, UK and (skips Mexico) China
exactinmidget92 Nos invitan por cortesía, pero nuestro ejercito está tan especializado en «guerra de guerrillas» que no duraríamos en una campaña moderna.EPN prefiere comprarse un avión de lujo a renovar el escuadrón de cazas F-5 que tienen más 30 años de antigüedad. ò_ó
Ignacio Benavides Jajajajaja
Porfirio .Diaz México lo vendía a Alemania porque EE.UU. no nos compraba por boicot a la nacionalización, la cuál además, fue respuesta a las PÉSIMAS condiciones laborales que tenían las petroleras americanas y su negativa a mejorar. Si con China salimos beneficiados, deberíamos hacerlo, es la ley del neoliberalismo. Ese que EE.UU. tanto promueve, pero que en cuanto ve que diversificamos nuestra economía, pega el grito en el cielo.
Yo no tengo nada contra los americanos, pero esa “doble moral” (neoliberales por fuera y nacionalistas por dentro) me revienta.
Por último, durante el sexenio de Calderón se tenía pensado comprar aviones Su-35 para la fuerza aérea. La compra fue bloqueada por los americanos, por supuesto, quien a cambio nos ofrecían F-16, que son más caros y con menos capacidades. Lo resume todo.
Porfirio .Diaz Mexico fue parte de los aliados en la segunda guerra mundial. Un grupo de pilotos que volaron P-47s en el pacifico. Mexico es un pais aleado con estados Unidos, justo como la *mayoria* de latino america.
China invierte en latino america pero no nos hace aliados. Si las cosas se pusieran feas, todos nos hiriamos *con* Estados Unidos, con la excepcion de alguno que otro.
Porfirio .Diaz Tambien Mexico proveyo pretolea y miles de mexicanos pelearon en el ejercito estado unidense y siguen peleando en el ejercito estado unidende, Mexico contra estados unidos seria como traicion ya que miles de latinos residen en los EUA.
There were Australian troops at the start. :) i love my country
JajaHaha, your in love
My heart goes out to anyone who had to work on the sound for this piece.
I like this guide for war videos
Let the hate comments towards the US begin.
cooooooool. Whatever your position is, American military is cool as hell. so much technology and money invested and it shows
Nobody has access to affordable healthcare but at least they have cool toys
Last time I checked I have access to affordable healthcare
Feels Train most of what was shown was the Australian military not the US
@@OsmoZchannel there not ur toys idiot there the machines that r goin 2 save our,ass
Good report.
Awesome video.
2:24 - The Marine Corps most definitely was not involved with the Normandy invasion. Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Peleliu, etc. That's where the Marine Corps cut its amphibious teeth.
2:26 The USMC did not take part in the Normandy landings, the Army did.
that hospital ship is so cool
Excellent video by Vice. This could easily be a edited to be a enlistment advertisement for the Marines. Kind of romanticizes the deadly strategy involved in amphibious warfare.
7:37 Hey Frank Castle is working for the military again
Amphibious Warfare is by far the most complex form of combat operations and US Navy and Marines are also by far the most experienced and most capable warriors that can do those kind of missions. I have no doubt that when and if the time comes when Marines will be needed on a large scale to storm the beaches of the Pacific, the history will repeat itself once again and these guys will prevail.
4:05 heliplane
5:05 amphibious tanks expelling a bunch of vapor
5:30 weird ass fast thing that floats on water
5:57 boat with paddles like victorian era boats
did they hire steampunk engineers to build these stuff? they dont look from this universe
amazing video
oh so its just like battlefield the video game.
Yes, in every conceivable way. Just like the video game. When the war starts that is what the headlines and the recruiting posters will say. IGN will give the war a 10/10. You will be able to live stream the war on Twitch.
MrLgmhandler Actually you probaly will be able to livestream it. That`s just the age we live in. If civilization survives people will make a ton of video games about it. Dosen`t "WW3: Drone commander" sound fun?
Let's face it, the age of big war is over. Thanks to globalization, I doubt I'll ever have to land on the Shanghai beaches, thank goodness.
Or defend Hawaii from Chinese landings
Luis Martinez Eh, I doubt the Chinese would have the metal and logistics to strike at an American state. Not with the Naval stations and the hard-chargers at Oki. in their way.
***** that sentiment was common before world war 1 and world war 2. With new technology before wwi, nobody thought that anyone would engage in global war. It would be too destructive. War between nations was far more profitable during the Napoleonic era and alliances were too widespread and complicated for a major war to result. Then world war 1 happened. Then we saw the destruction of world war 1 and we thought that a war like that would never happened again. It was called "the war to end all wars." Nobody thought that another widespread war would come. Then world war 2 happened. Now, we don't think that big war will ever happen again. Will we be wrong again?
Smithy0013 You know now that you mention it, China has been rattling the chains quite a bit...I don't think they would attack us though because we still owe them big time and they would never get their money back.
+Agbg Geeag I think the US would love for the Chinese to attack, then we wouldn't owe them jack shit lol
This was a good one... Why can't we have more like this?
Excelent video
"the day is coming, be ready for that day...we will defeat any foe." U.S.A.!!!! greatest country on earth. I wouldn't recommended that any enemy rushes that day's arrival.
Fast forward 2019....China and United States are getting spicy
the song at the end is called Mystery Train - David O'Brien
Good presenter, great documentary once again
When i saw a the Japanese Marines then the US Marine commander I was like damn the size...
Will a Marine is a Marine at any size.

This ladies and gentlemen is the reason we live in the free world we live in today and not a totalitarian war zone that our Islamic counterparts do or a no freedom communist state such as China. So, no its not a waste of money it's a necessary step to protect the way of life we take for granted today.
