To the people here commenting asking what this has to do with warfare. What does this have to do with warfare? not a damn thing. If youre looking for a video with Marines showing off what they can do in warfare theres plenty of moto vids on youtube with just that kind of thing. This is the Silent Drill team showing off some exhibition style close order drill. Theyre showing off precision and discipline which are two other traits the Marine Corps likes to pride itself on. Theyre used mostly for recruiting purposes and ceremonies, but the shit aint easy, so kudos to them. To the people questioning it it, I ask you all: Who the hell are you to question the way the United States Marine Corps conducts its business?.. Just pay your taxes and be happy theres no draft.. it always amazes me that people who have no experience with the military always have the biggest voices about how to make it better.
I love how they taught the crowd how to respect them. Different crowd at the end than at the beginning. Imagine the respect they'd learn if they saw how they fight to protect their right to have bad manners!
As a Brit my total respect for USA and their military - their discipline and precision training is amazing - thank god the most powerful country in the world is also a voice for freedom - - we have so much in common - - - god bless USA -
Does anybody else find it disturbing that people in the audience just keep on flapping their gums while these guys perform? Would anyone act that way say, at a Broadway play or with a live singer? Such disrespect...
No fluffy hats or unnecessary arm swings, just a tight uniform with a smooth finish. It doesn't matter what these amphibious infantrymen do, they're a lethal force when active in a hostile environment.
Exactly. Everyone in service that I know respects the other branches. Granted, I have an Uncle in the marines and an Uncle in the Army, and my marine uncle wants me to become a marine while my army uncle urges me to join the army. Not because they were in it, but because they know the benefits of each. They don't trash talk other branches though, they just love their own. I love New York. Do I hate Florida? No. Why would I? I plan on becoming a Marine, but I'd happily become a soldier instead.
As a former U.S. Marine (1977-1981) this makes me so proud to watch. USMC drill teams are so much more impressive than those of any other branch of the military. Not meant to offend anyone. Semper Fi
I wanted to comment on how proud I am of those young men (and I certainly am), but now I feel more like spending money on a ticket for some of these America Haters a one-way ticket to anywhere but HERE! Always Faithful My Friend. God Bless.
Well said brother. Courage is a trait that must be cultivated. Do not worry about the nay sayers. What makes America so beautiful is her first amendment, freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. So let them say what they will and in their ignorance they are glorifying the beauty of America.
and it always brings a tear to my eye to watch my silent drill team.. US Marines.. always the first to land... and the last to leave.. signed..Emmett.. U.S.M.C.
I am from the bahamas and i am in law enforcement so i have been on the drill square before so I know about the practice that goes into this... But omg there is no team in the world that can test these guys they are friggin awesome... I salute u marines!!

I always love watching the USMC Silent drill, even as a squaddie I can appreciate the precision and movements that go into US Marine drill movements.
step 1) open this video and mute it
Semper Fi, brothers. 1st Bn. 26th Marines, Vietnam '68-'69
