Marines means nobody gets left behind. Some think that means because you get everyone out. What it actually means is no one's sacrifice is for nothing.
This sounds like a evolution of broken arrow, which is code for the unit being cut off and likely to be wiped out, call of duty showcased this with the original modern warfare series
12 years active. 2 tours in the Sandbox. When the Cap said "Drop Thors Hammer" goosebumps ran all over me and I got tears in my eyes. God bless the Marines. God bless my brothers and sisters in arms.

Glad you made it through the shit brother. Welcome back to the world.

Liked this one wasn't disjointed like many are, the story has potential and the character was more fleshed out and believable than many of the recent offerings and I hope to hear more of this.
This reminds me of another story, I can't remember the name, it was about three different alien soldiers in a bar drinking & talking about there experiences with human soldiers. The one thing I vividly remember from the story were the quote given at the end by the solders. “There not the fastest. But there fast enough to keep up,” “There not the strongest. But there strong enough to leave a mark,” “There not the biggest. But they make dame sure you know there there,”
Human thing mist feared by aliens: 1- the marines 2- the navy 3- that thing called "ADAPTABILITY" 4- nukes (whe love those) 5- our politicians (even we fear them)
The talent of the author is truly awesome. To be able to take a full movie worth of plot, detail, character development, action, and drama, all worthy of a feature length movie or a moderately long novel and condense it into a narration easily fitting into the time needed to eat lunch in the break room, and retain a level of description that paints a vivid picture in the listeners mind, and enough suspense that it left a crowded break room silent other than the narrators voice, all delivered in a way that it stirs emotions in spite of it being a work of fiction. I have never had much interest in science fiction. I've read a couple of the Halo based novels, found them to be interesting, well written works but not compelling enough to draw me into the entire series. This video however may have me revisiting that franchise. If more of this epic level story telling defines what they have to offer I will be truly impressed.
Goddam!!! That ending was a kick in the nuts as well as the most glorious ending for a soldier in a hopeless scenario!! Sacrificing themselves to save as many as humanly possible, and I guarantee that every single Marine fought to the very last breath as the juke fell, not one of them tried to cut and run in a futile attempt to live. They would all have had evil grins on their faces as the juke dropped, overjoyed at taking so many of the enemy with them, as ALL soldiers, no matter where from would do and feel!! Bloody good story, hoping to hear some more from you, especially with this character and his today amongst the humans! Well done!
The resiliency of the United States Marines is legendary. Once, in the Korean conflict. Many were retreating their position because of the numerous enemy forces. But when the Marines showed up. They quoted a short defiant response. RETREAT HELL!! They fought with tenacity that many of the enemy avoided the conflict altogether. Semper Fidelis❤❤❤❤
When the U.S. Marines and a few U.S. Army units, the first into France marched for the front out of Paris they ran into the routed British and French troops in full retreat for Paris, several French and English officers told the Marine officers they should retreat with them to Paris. The Marine commanders reaction was "Retreat hell! We Just got here" they met the Germans at belleau woodland stopped them cold for several days, then Gunny Sargent Dan Daly, seeing his Marines exhausted, ordered his Marines to attack standing up and charging while Yelling " You Want To Live Forever!" The Marines charged and completely routed the Germans who started referring to them as Devil Dogs.
That's 1st Marines Division at Chosin Reservoir. The Commanding General was none other than Lewis" Chesty" Puller. The USMC most legendary Officer. 5 Navy Cross to his name. Was considered for CMOH more than once. And I not even a marines. Just happen to lived by Camp Pendleton.
@@gunmonkey1185growing up there used to be an old chosin marine who lived in my neighborhood. He always had a fresh "frozen chosin" and EGA sticker on hia old ford pickup. It was a sad sad day when i saw the pickup parked infront of the local feed store with a "FOR SALE" sign in the wind shield. Never spoke to the man but wherever you are old timer SEMPER FI.

To the author of the story were you ever in San Antonio in a bar called dirty Nellies cause this happened there dirty Nellies was a piano bar San Antonio sits in the middle of almost 3 military bases, Fort Sam, Houston, and one or two air bases so you have all those servicemen downtown on the Riverwalk dirty, Nellies had a piano bar and one eyed one night got the bright idea to play each services for lack of better word, fight song it did not go well, but I will say this there to there were two Marines in a corner booth, and they were holding their own against the rest of the bar
This, this story is a sci fi retelling g of the battle of belleauwood, with a couple twists, but overal the same cautionary tale, don’t fuck with the USMC, I know, I’m one of them, you don’t want none, and even if not said, they are clearly descendants of us, as jk one else is that crazy, stupid, or effective. Rahhh. Yut I’d barely older than me, or Ooorah, of similar/younger, my age though the question and response and was “kill” in a harsh barked tone.
I'm not a fan of ai narrators either but this was a solid story. You should give it another chance. Just turn down the volume and read along or something. Great story
lol goes to show that since this is created by AI, even uses female as always the higher figure head or playing the biggest role. its probably doing it based on this algorithm going around with feminism plastered in every media out there especially in movies. why i say this? i been binge watching similar story like this and its always the female leading role. though not the main MC but in the fantasy world the female is either the president or the galactic admiral, bla bla and so on.
Great story, totally Badass. Many thanks to our troops and veterans.

I am not sure which is worse. Dropping a nuke on your position or that it happens so often, a code word was created for it. Thor's Hammer

@@Ranger-Cealers yes it is. I didn't want to use the same words but keep it similar.
@tomcarey8951 kinda figured but I'm glad I called it right
"BROKEN ARROW, DROP THOR'S HAMMER"
We Were Soldiers by Lt Gen Hal Moore and Joey Gallaway is one of the best books about war.
I'm the author of the story and want to thank you for all the compliments. I am very humbled by some of the comments.
Way to go dude!

One of the better short stories I've heard. I really enjoy stories where an alien tells of human valor.
He held the line: "Oorah!"
He held the door: "HODOR !"
This reminds me of another story, I can't remember the name, it was about three different alien soldiers in a bar drinking & talking about there experiences with human soldiers.

Well done, I liked this one and more would be welcomed. Thx for sharing
Well done, I'll be listening to this one again.
21:19 - _Jaleon looked out at his audience and saw they were intently focused on his tail._
Either he's dummy thicc or the subtitles suck
I believe it's made quite clear that he is indeed, a thicc boy.
Tail or tale both work in the stories context
Never shall I leave a fallen comrade! Damn that hit hard. We don’t die we go to hell and regroup!

I dare you to find a female Marine and say that to her face.
First though, tell her whether or not you like hospital food.
