You’ve gotta understand. You tell a Marine that something can’t be done that Marine’s response is ALWAYS going to be “Right. Stay here and keep my beer cold, I’ll be back for it soon.”
And don't f with my crayons 😂
@@chrisp308something to chew on when he's done? The red ones are spicy.😂
Marines are the "Florida Man" of the military...."hold my beer , watch this"
@@chrisp308Yeah! I’m gonna need them to write the After Action Report, cause what I’m put to paper is a complete fantasy compared to the actual mindf*ckery and bad attitude that actually occurred.
Lol I love you guys. I will hold your beer and keep it cold. I will get you some jerky for a little chew. Can't stand wax on the teeth but if you want I will get the 64 pack Crayola.
As a Marine combat veteran I am honored to know one day I will get to drink a horn in Valhalla with Dan Daily, though he will be at the head table. Semper Fi to all my devil dogs out there. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
One only gets to Valhalla if one dies in battle.
Sgt Major Dan Daly, Sgt Carlos Hathcock and Gen Chesty Puller, LT Audie Murphy and the rough rider himself Teddy Roosevelt. some bad ass drinking buddies
You did the _one_ thing you weren't supposed to do to get to Valhöll.
Survive.
Besides, you had a life to live. Óðinn chooses who dies in a fight and who does not, so he knew you had better things to do than die back there.
@V.P._Chlamydia_Hairass We're Marines, if we wanna go to Valhalla we'll go to fcking Valhalla. @mickluchsinger Oohrah devil dog!
Thank you for your service!
Like our host, I didn't feel like I could "pass muster" so I went to the army instead.
You guys both scare me and reassure me (bc I'm ALWAYS glad to be on your side!)
Thanks for holding the line!!!!❤❤
Dan Daly logic:
The enemy can not charge your position…if the bodies of their fellow comrades are piled up in their way.
"The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand."
"The Medal of Honor is bestowed for extraordinary acts of valor, and is often bestowed posthumously. The Medal of Honor is never “won.” It is presented, awarded, bestowed or given after a service member’s act of selfless courage, typically at the risk or loss of that individual’s own life. It is the nation’s highest honor."
We have the V.C. a lot of our men were given the victoria cross for valour too . 😊
The Medal of Honor is such a prestigious medal that the President of the United States Salutes the Recipient.
For eons, the top military honor in the US was referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor. It was frequently shortened to CMH. Most of the service guys n gals referred to it as "Coffin with Metal Handles" as roughly 90% of the medal's recipients had died during the commission of the acts that earned the honor. Recently, as it came apparent that Congress had no honor, they were dropped from the party.
If I remember correctly one of the benefits of being awarded the Medal of Honor is that their kids automatically get a slot at one of the service academies upon applying.
My father was on Okinawa in WWII. The youngest guy in his Navy outfit forged his mother's signature and went in at 16 years old. He grew up fast. And he just died earlier this year. God bless Gerald Fletcher and the rest of Lion 8.
God's Speed on the Wings of the Angels Marine 🙏
Semper Fi Fidelis
Both of my boys are Marines. When the youngest & I got home from his boot camp graduation, my oldest grabbed him in a huge hug and said, "Welcome home Devil Dog!"
Papa was a Marine. Two of my three older Brothers are Marines. Being the youngest, and only daughter, I became a Marine, and Served through two Tours.
To this day, it remains the proudest day/moment of my life, graduating Boot and earning the Title 'Marine!'
Though many are born, few are made. The Few. The Proud. The Marines!
:-)
Daly and Butler are part of our pantheon. They're mythical. We love them.
Men like this are the real heroes. Dan Daly, Chesty Puller, Audie Murphy. These are the beacons that guide every Marine and soldier through their journey as warriors. As a former Army soldier myself, I can say that their stories played a part in molding my growth.
Don't forget Douglas Monro, the only Coast Guard MOH ever awarded: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Albert_Munro
Don’t forget Desmond Doss
Roy Benavidez
@@everypitchcounts4875THANK YOU!!!! I was getting pissed my fellow Texan was left out. YOU are awesome for giving him the credit he deserves!
John Basilone🤘🏼
I'm surprised he didn't mention that Daly had a hard time later in his life finding a wheelbarrow strong enough to carry his humongous set of balls!
😂
My Dad was a Viet Nam era Marine. He died 5 years ago on Memorial Day weekend. Yes he was a badass. You know when you are kids and you are at school there is always that conversation about how their Dad can beat up your Dad? No one ever said that about my Dad. They always said my Dad is scared of your Dad. He was not a mean man. He was a good guy but if someone tried to hurt him or his family he would make sure to take care of it. Even the police would not mess with him one time when he gutted a guy over the guy telling him that he was going to rape one of his daughters. That set dad off and Dad gutted him with a fileting knife. He didn't kill the guy. He didn't want to kill him he just wanted to show him that he was threatening the wrong man's family. The police came to talk to Dad about it and he told them what happened and they said Okay and left. They never came back and the guy that he gutted moved out of the neighborhood after that. The guy had a long prison record to start with. He had already been to prison 4 times for sexual assault.
Your dad handled business like a real man. Mega props to him, and my condolences for his passing. Semper Fi.
Can't be all true!!!!
@@robertsettle2590 you would be amazed. I could tell you mad stories about MY dad's life without ever getting into what he did as a Ranger or after, and they're all true- just because something doesn't make the news doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Many "nobody" lives are full of wild shit.
RIP sounds like a great dad and a helluva marine. Sorry for your loss
Now THAT is a real Father/Dad, and Papa was made of exactly the same material! He was a Marine. Two of my three older Brothers are Marines. I being the youngest and only daughter, became a Marine, and Served two Tours.
It is a Title and Honor I will never forget receiving, and will go to my grave defending!
Anyone threatening me, my family, friends, fellow Citizenry, has no clue the degree of whup-ass they're going to receive!
:-D
I'm pretty sure Dan Daly later signed up for the Weapon-X Program and we now know him as Wolverine of the X-Men.
My grandma's uncle was a ball turret gunner in WWII. Among his documented feats was manually dislodging a bomb that didn't want to drop, but had been armed. He lived to be an old man and taught me and my brother how to fish and was one of the people who taught us how to shoot.
@20:39 There's a saying in the military. "It's easier to win the MoH dead. Than it is to win it while still breathing."
Well, our grandparents were built different...my grandpa was a double-amputee and he repaired radio towers. Dudes were just built different back then.
That shit is in you too, don't insult your grandparents by discounting your moxy or your worth
Coming from a u.s. vet. I loved your reaction brother. Great warriors come from many different parts. Thank you for honoring ours.
My Dad is a former Marine from back in the 50's. If you ever meet a Marine you will understand. I have the utmost respect for them, because of him. The other branches are cool too, don't get me wrong. I'm just a bit biased. Hoo-rah!
OOOhh-rah back to you. If your dad served then so did you. You will always be a part of the Marine family. Semper Fi NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
I’m subscribed to the fat electrician. I never liked history but he’s such a great storyteller that I keep listening to his vids.❤
Over 200 dead or dying littered the ground in front of Dan Daly's machine gun position. How many "Boxers" actually attempted to overrun his position is unkown.
Thankfully we still have fellow Americans who feel that way. I knew kids growing up in the 70/80/90's that lived to join and serve.
I read not too long ago that golf courses had to "Tiger-proof" their designs, because Tiger Woods was just So. Incredibly. Good. He was winning everything. Sounds like the military "Daly-proofed" the Medal of Honor.
Technically, there are 7 Marines with two Medals of Honor; the other 5 were awarded them all during the Great War.
I say "technically" because they were all awarded once each from the Army and the Navy (through the Marine Corps) for performing one action, i.e. they performed something in a single battle, and both the Army and Navy said, "Give them a Medal of Honor." Daly and Butler are the only Marines awarded two MoH for separate actions, which is obviously much, much more difficult.
It was not because of Daly that the limit was changed to only one, but because of those other 5 Marines as it had been determined that over 1,000 MoH had been awarded inappropriately. Since then, some of those Medals have been restored after a second evaluation determined that they had, in fact, been awarded appropriately, and the limitation for only one MoH was partially ended in 2011, when recipients would be awarded a single Medal, with all Medals beyond the first being indicated by a device added to the first. The limitation was fully removed in 2014 and now recipients are again awarded a Medal for each action that merits one.
As others have noted, winning one usually means dying in the process.
Actually, I believe "only" 18.5 percent of the MOH recipients have received them posthumously. I put only in quotations because that still represents over 180 brave souls have died for that honor.
@@MalcolmArchard Maybe it's just a modern perception that earning one usually means dying because those are the only ones we hear about any more.
As a US Navy Seabee, I agree- don’t fck with the Marines. (side note, the Marines don’t fck with Seabees either. The Fat Electrician covers Seabees- check it out).
I've actually visited the battlefield of Belleau Wood back when I was on a study abroad program in 1969. (Yeah, I'm, old.) It was foggy that day and you could just make out the remnants of the trenches. I was pretty eerie. We ended up driving around to the military cemetery at the bottom the hill and the sun had broken through the fog and was out in full force. It was a beautiful sight and very moving. It's so great to know about this wonderful man who played such a major role in that battle. Thanks for reacting to this video.
Wonderful reaction. I love the story of Dan Daly, and of the Marines at Belleau Wood. True story from Afghanistan: Victor Davis Hanson, an American military historian, visited some Islamic insurgents during the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. They have this hospitality thing where a visitor from the enemy can be treated with courtesy and be kept safe. Dr. Hanson had an interpreter, and the various leaders broke up into groups to talk. Several times one would say something like: "...And then the Strongest Tribe arrived and we had to leave." The others would nod and say, "Yes. Nobody can fight the Strongest Tribe." Finally Dr. Hanson asked his interpreter, "Who is this "Strongest Tribe" that nobody wants to fight?" The interpreter answered, "Oh, you call them the United States Marines." True story.
Damn that's awesome, I would like to know more.
Now that is classic marine corp ego BULLSHIT. Probably not a bit of TRUTH, absolute will tell you anything as the TRUTH!!!
One of several marines we learned about during MC bootcamp. I graduated from Paris Island exactly 30 years and 1 day after my father. He was a tunnel rat in Vietnam and I went to Iraq. It was often hell but proud to be a part of the Corps.
1 guy vs 200? That's a United States Marine lives for.
No joke, either. During the Korean War, the number of Marines who died holding off overwhelming odds was nothing short of a tragically heroic.
He wasn't stuck there with them, they were stuck there with him.
My cousin joined the marines at the age of 16. He loved the marines
The way the metal of honor is awarded is by going above and beyond the call of duty
Hi. It is so funny that a young Britisher is teaching me about Dan Daily, one of the greatest heroes of the USA!
I was in the Marines. I am a Marine. We know Dan Daly.
As a Marine 0331 (Machine Gunner) who carried the M60E3, it wasn't a fair fight at all. Now, when the enemy starts receiving fire from a light machine gun that doesn't kill them, you become a target quick fast and in a hurry because of the amount of power you bring to a gun fight. "They had a few muskets and some sticks" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
To my understanding as a civilian it’s not that only ONE person can receive a Medal of Honor but it’s that an individual can only earn one Medal of Honor and there are numerous things that a person can do to receive one. It’s basically the American version of The Victoria Cross for you brits.
No you can be awarded as many as they see fit to award you.
As long as they are for separate actions
Most people who earn the Medal of Honor receive it posthumously, after they die from doing some super human and/or mind-blowingly badass thing, saving countless lives in the process. Very few have earned that metal and lived to accept it in person. They are all living legends and American heroes. Dan is the definition of that, the gold standard if you will. People like him are the reason others think twice before attacking America. God bless him and all those who have received it.
Amazing story! My great uncle won the medal of honor as a medic. He was a bad ass as well. I remember a story of him knocking out a charging bull with a single punch! His name was David Bleak.
I'm a 28 year Marine.
Retired, not so lean but still mean
Okce a marine always a marine brother. You may be out right now but you never stop being a marine.
I keep saying the U.S. has a particular “will to fight” that is different than any other nation which is documented and has been witnessed by millions.
To clarify, the Congressional Medal of Honor is not limited to one person at any given time, there can be multiple people that performed heroic actions deserving of the medal at any point in time but personally once you get one, you can't be awarded another according to that law. In this way Dan Daly is the last servicemember ever to get two medals of honor.
Now you don't just win a medal of honor, through your selfless actions in battle that save others often at great cost or danger to yourself, your unit and chain of command can recommend you for one. The recommendation along with the evidence and description of what you did goes up the chain and to congress where it's up to them to award it. It takes an act of congress to wards the medal of honor so its a big deal with most recipients receiving it posthumously because its rather rare that you survive after doing the kind of stuff that earns you one.
No. The military branch of the service-member awards the Moh after investigating the evidence and rendering its judgement. There is an awards committee that makes such inquiries and then it is either approved or not. Congress has nothing to do with the process.
@TedBronson1918 then explain how politicians denied Dan Daly his 3rd medal or howcthey got a law passed to prevent anyone from getting more than one? Only Cogress has that kind of authority.
@@alexisrivera200xable Who said the politicians denied Daly the 3rd MoH ? They get to have their opinion and maybe more input than the average citizen, but whether it was awarded or not was out of their hands. A board of officers made that decision after having viewed the evidence and getting the opinions and pressure of the leadership. I'm sure they got an earful from every direction. Congess made a law afterwards about the Moh limiting it to one per person because they wanted it to be rare. That's why other, lesser awards were also established. After Congress made that law, it became up to the Executive Branch to enforce it since it controls the military - basic civics. Congress does NOT have that kind of authority. Again - basic civics. I suggest you study the 3 branches of government, their purposes, limitations and uses.
@@TedBronson1918 I suggest you watch the video then it's mentioned right there.
@@alexisrivera200xable Yeah, and we all know that we can rely on everything we hear in a CZcams video as being accurate. Sometimes the people just don't express their ideas well. I see inaccuracies in videos all the time, so this is far from the first time. I won't argue with you though, just Google "history of the Medal of Honor" or "How the Medal of Honor is awarded". Either one should take you through the process, and the changes in that process over time. See for yourself.
It's astounding, when you study military history, all the little coincidences that happen. You start to think there's something more to it than happenstance. I am sure there are many such coincidences that have happened in British history too. To me that is what makes history interesting the little connections that add flavor to the bigger picture.
Great reaction from you. My dad used to tell all of us kids that it doesn’t matter how big you are it’s how much heart you have and the toughness comes in small packages sometimes. We learned that lesson well. Thank you.
17:15 Starship Troopers!
I cannot imagine an America without the Marines...
We would definitely not be America by now if it weren't for the marines
Me either and I'm a Navy Submarine Veteran. We carried some Marines with us a lot when we went out..
@@ruralandroid4984 you are joking right. Name just one thing that the marine corp has done that was so very important that absolutely insured the existence & greatness of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA!!!!!!! 🇺🇸
@@robertsettle2590 the Corps' very existence is an example of protecting freedom. You're a troll.
We’re a proud bunch and thanks for the compliment !
The Congressional Medal of Honor is awarded for going Above and Beyond the Call of Duty. It is so rare because the people who earn it do something so brave, stupid, heroic, or a combination of all three that the regular soldier, marine, sailor, or airman looks at their actions and have reactions like " Daaammmnnn" or " Fuck That!". This is why most are awarded posthumously.
My Dad was a Marine during The Korean War! My Hero!!
Most medals of honor are awarded posthumously not a lot of people survive the valor required to earn one.
1 Marine > 200 Kung fu fighters
Most marines are gangster lol
But 200 vs 1? Dang...
You should look up "The giant killer". Hearing this man's story is unbelievable.
Lots of vids on him (plus a book and movie) on youtube.
The Congressional Medal of Honor is given for “Conspicuous gallantry, above and beyond the call of duty….”
The most gangster politician ever video is even better lmfao
To this day we refer to each other as Devil Dogs. Great reaction. Semper Fi.
With all the scary sh*t happening in America right now this is just what I needed to watch❤
Guys, this is a petition for him to watch the world war tree video!
Okay yes
40 million have served since the Civil War... 3517 have received the Medal of Honor. I'm an old Marine(0311) from the 3/2 served from 2003 to 2008. Marines aren't super heros we're just the kind that never think a task is impossible!
I’m a Navy veteran, some of my best friends are Marines!! Once several of us needed to do research in the SCIF. When it got around midnight, we were supposed to leave, Guns came by and told us Time to Leave! Well, we needed more time, so he said Go Ahead, I’ll take the Rap.
0:38 Regardless of being a marine, I'd go with the person with the full auto, mid range weapon. But it depends on how much ammo he has, and how much room he has to evade.
9:30 If he has a decent defensive point, this is plausible. However, there's something that might be getting over looked here. Earlier, we learned that the boxers believed they were impervious to bullets. So they're running in thinking they can't die. Then, suddenly they're staring at their friends who are dead, dying, or mortally wounded, by bullets.
It sounds like he was in a static position pulling baby-sitting duty.
300 Spartans and I have a 1 gun. US Army 1 shot one kill, HOORAH.
Edit.
Some people are built differently and some people are built different and crazy. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Sgt Freisen is the first human I had ever met that I was afraid of. If he came to me right now and said, "we need to liberate country X, here's your toothpick." My only response would be, "hold up, let me get my knife incase I need to use it to sharpen my toothpick."
We dont say hoorah
@@sdivine13 we did in the early 90s.
My dad was in Vietnam in ‘69. He would take me to the American Legion hall, AmVets, all those local veterans places. Because of this, I was LUCKY enough to meet and know WW1, WW2, Korean, and Vietnam vets. I heard so many stories I wish I could still remember them all. They all took in this little kid and made me fell part of them. They also taught me how important our country and flag are. I would gladly take every bullet in the world time and time again for the smallest American flag. Imagine what I’d do for the largest, or my fellow American, or America, or anyone who loves freedom, or anyone who needs saving! So to answer your statement, YES, some of us are built different. But, diabetes would keep us from joining the military unfortunately.
I'm pretty sure most of the time you have to die to get a medal of honor. So earning 3 without dying is hard AF😮
It’s playing the game on extra f’kin hard mode with half a controller, drunk and blindfolded.
No no no, most people die getting the Medal of Honor, but dying isn’t a prerequisite to getting a medal, it’d be pretty weird to explain to one’s families if you up to them and like, “Welp, your son died ma’am, and for that, he gets a ‘congrats, you died’ medal”
Keep in mind, to voluntarily join the military usually means you have some sort of mindset that you'll be able to at least survive it and by the time you're done with training you'll be skilled enough that you are more likely to survive then you add all the force multipliers in the form of equipment and vehicles and now you're on a different level...a lot goes into making a soldier what they need to be to not only survive but to be able to carry out your orders.
On a side note. During the American civil war the younger brother of General George Armstrong Custer was also given two (2) Medals of Honor during two different battles in the civil war. The first at the namozine church when he rode thru enemy lines captured the guidon of the 2nd North Carolina calvery. Then took something like 12 or 14 prisoners after having his horse shot out from under him.
The second was the Sailor Creek battle where he charged the enemy lines shot some of the enemy and again grabbed their guidon got shot in the face and rode back to his brother and gave him the guidon. When Custer the oldest had to order his brother to get treated for the wound. He was the first soldier to win the medal twice. The first in the war to earn two for all branches that served in the war and he was the first of four to win a second Medal of Honor in the civil war and the first of all the 19 Medal of Honor second award military members. For the sad part when Lt. Col George Armstrong Custer died at the Little Bighorn River. He wasn't alone he had four other family members that died with him. There was his middle brother Thomas who won the two Medals of Honor but also his youngest brother Boston who also died there and while they weren't blood kin they were the two brothers in law that also died at Little Bighorn River. He got a little too big in the ego and bit off more than he could chew.
The way your channel is growing is so well deserved!!! I love your videos and accent. You’re my favorite British reactor even though my Granda immigrated from Ireland. That’s saying something haha!
Wow Nov 11 is my daughter's birthday too . She's in good company what a story of heroics wow
The boxer rebellion is where my unit was given the name "Golden Dragons". 2-14 LI, 10th Mtn Div.
He was also awarded the Silver Star, but it was called the Silver Citation Star at the time and was worn on the ribbon of a victory medal.
3:16 I enlisted in the Marines in 2004 as a Combat Engineer because I knew as an Engineer I would deploy early and often. One of the jobs of a Combat Engineer is to look for and disarm land mines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) aka roadside bombs. I was in Operation Phantom Fury or the 2nd Battle of Fallujah. Got to use explosives to blow doors in and raid houses. I’m pretty sure most Marines that enlist want to join whatever fight is going on at the time and are well aware that they will get deployed multiple times. Loved every minute of it!
Another great war story is the WWII story of the Sullivan brothers.Because of them,the way men could enlist and serve their country changed.
Daly was likely on top of the wall, he wasn't at ground level with the fighters, so it is more likely a case of him trying to kill them before they can break the door down and get inside to kill everyone. He had the high ground. Nuff said, lol
My dad was 82nd Airborne special force my Uncle Bill was Airforce and my uncle Dale was Cost Gaurd and my Uncle Bob was Mariane he was Navy and Army. I was a Military brat
I think the reason for only one Medal of Honor is that because it is the highest award that can be given (and so many are given posthumously) all recipients should be honored equally
to receive the medal of honor a person must go above and beyond the call of duty during combat
And THAT is where Starship Troopers got that line with Rasczak shouting "Come on ypu apes! You want to live forever?!" Rasczak was basically a hero worship implant for Dan Daly...i mean, has to be, right??
November 11 is Veterans Day, Dan Daly’s bday, and the day after the Marine Corps birthday. It’s a pretty wild weekend for us.
Its Dan f**king Daly, the most fightingest Marine to ever be a Marine. You seriously thing 200 Boxer rebels are gonna stand a chance?
As an 0331 (Machine Gunner) who carried the M60E3, it wasn't a fair fight at all. Now, when the enemy starts receiving fire from a light machine gun that doesn't kill them, you become a target quick fast and in a hurry because of the amount of power you bring to a gun fight. "They had a few muskets and some sticks" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Awesome Video!
You got to watch the video by The Fat Electrician that was about our (USA's) warhorse that was named Sgt. Reckless that
helped in the Korean war. ^_^
ill have to check it out for sure!
The Medal of Honor is awarded to those who go "above and beyond the call of duty." Dan's medals were awarded because he exceeded what he was expected to do, and didn't just survive, but accomplished the mission at all costs. He went above and beyond what is even remotely expected of his rank and role.
Check out: John Colter vs. The Blackfoot: The True Story of Colter's Run. He ran 90 miles naked covered in blood.
As an American, with family members and friends that are marines, my money is always gonna be on the marine!!! Semper Fi!!!!
Solid. Enjoyed the history. Watch everyday. Keep it coming. USA, AZ
21:12 To earn the Medal of Honor you’ve got to do something way above and beyond the normal call of duty. From there you are nominated for it, either by the rest of your unit or by your direct chain of command, then it goes further up the chain of command, including the secretary of whatever branch the individual is part of, until it reaches either a special congressional committee or the president. If everyone along the way agrees that you deserve it, then you are given the Medal of Honor. There’s no limit to how many are given in a year, or even in a specific battle. There have been several times that a battle has had multiple MOHs earned.
Spoken truly buy someone who's never been shot at.
Veterans day is third CMH., HAPPY BIRTHDAY. TO HIM.
Medal of Honor is basically one of thee single hardest things to accomplish in your military career. If you meet a recipient you’re meeting someone who is an entire cut above the millions
I'm a US veteran, and until hearing you say that bit about being scared to deploy, it literally never crossed my mind that someone would join in hopes of NOT fighting. That's basically the only reason any of us enlist. "Boy, I hope I get to fight in a war."
Awesomeness! Dan Daily is the pride we Americans have inside each one of us gun totin rootin tootin son's! Great job showing vids Bro, you make watching these stories even better! I'm hooked and subscribed thank you.
Was so excited to see this!!! Iv watched you for a long time and hearing you react to these videos are my favorite!!! Needed a smile today ❤️ thank you
You assume EVERYONE charged in at once, and everyone dies, no one survives the first attempt.
The Medal of Honor, more specifically "The Congressional Medal of Honor" requires
1. You are put forward as a potential recipient, which is very rare.
2. Congress debates, discusses and votes that you be awarded this Medal. (Getting Congress to agree on anything without a massive parlay over "what do I get out of this" is a mammoth undertaking.)
That Daly was awarded it twice, and would have been awarded it a third time, is beyond incredible.
As an army infantry vet who know a lot of marines I can say marine and army infantry have a saying. We don’t die we just got to hell and regroup. Most of my marine friends joined when I did in 2007-2009 when we graduated
ALSO: Check out Audie Murphy who was “too short” for the Marine Corps., and rejected by the paratroopers so ended up in infantry during WWII.
12:26 Right! Arthur, Dan.. we need movies of these guys! It's a niche that needs explored!❤
In the Korean war, during the American retreat from the Chinese surprise attack, many groups of Marines survived when Army units did not. For three reasons: (1) When hard pressed, Army units would sometimes break and rout. The Marines were not as well trained as that, they did not know how to break and rout. (2) The Army had recently "de-emphasized" bayonet training and switched to little bayonets with 8-inch blades. The Marines still had six months of bayonet training and still carried the World War One-type bayonets, with sixteen inch blades. (3) The Marines were still using puttees--yellow canvas leggings that strapped on from the ankle to the knee and gave extra support. The Chines officers discovered that, once their men had engaged in close combat with the Marines, they would never, ever do so again. Even when their officers shot some of them who refused to attack, because the Chinese soldiers would rather be shot than close with the Marines, who they referred to as "the crazy men in the yellow leggings." True story again.
You are so full of shite, especially what you said about the other units during the pull back from the Chosin during the winter attack by the Chinese. In fact you are a damn LIAR. The one thing that is very well known and proven is that the usmc will unashamedly steal especially when it comes to absolute truth and glory others. Your lies are more proof positive that the marine ego is more important than anything, even other AMERICAN LIVES!
Most all Congressional Medals of Honor are awarded posthumously, because the heroes didn't make it out alive. With that said, that doesn't mean they lost or didn't accomplish the mission. I owe my very life to the United States Marine Corps. My father was an Army Air Corps pilot in WW2. He was shot down in the south Pacific and taken POW by the Japanese. His legs were shot up and vertebrae in his back were broken. It was the Marines that rescued him. I was 8 years old when I noticed the scars from the bullet holes on my dad's legs. He told me what happened. I realized then, that if it wasn't for those Marines including the ones who died, I would not be here today. I enlisted in the Marine Corps after High School, because I had a debt to pay to those Marines. I chose to serve, to honor them. Unfortunately, being a disabled Gulf War Veteran, I find myself feeling from time to time, that my debt still goes unpaid.
1:47: When you come to Texas, if you come to San Antonio to see the Alamo. Across the street in the Menger hotel there is a hallway with memorabilia of the Rough Riders and Teddy Roosevelt. The historical wooden bar is the same today as it was when Theodore Roosevelt rounded up warriors to march on to Mexico City. It is amazing how small those guys were. There is actual uniforms of those soldiers. They couldn’t have weighed much more than 95 pounds or 43 kilos. My wife who is 5’3” is clearly taller than the guys who would have worn those uniforms.
9:35 Best guess is there was some kind of choke point or funnel. Like a door all 200 had to go through to get to him. He created a doorway to death and let them walk through it.😂
@ this moment Lieutenant Dan declared "hold my beer 🍺 " 😂😂
Remember that his position was on top of a wall. So it wasn't 200 coming at him from all sides, but 200 coming at him from a flight of steps.
my dad is a marine during vietnam he has a devil dog tattoo as a symbol of the nickname devil dog. also he was in one of the american warships off the coast of cuba during the cuban missile crisis.
Interesting fact. While in Haiti when he got the sunken machine gun he was under the command of Smedley Butler.
3:00 the US Marines are just…built different. My father in law was US Army and while overseas during the Gulf War, he’d overhear the Marines chatter on the base and they kept saying “cool”, but said it weird, he said, like “quel”. Then after like a month he realized they were saying “kill”.
You got to go far beyond your duty to get one, this man earned all 3.
My Brother joined the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and spent 22 years as a Marine..My Birthday is November 10th which is also The Marines Birthday..
You are really underestimating how deadly a machine gun truly is.
The movie is called "Tell it to the Marines" 1925, starring Lon Chaney without makeup.
