When I was in second grade a 5th grader blacked my eye. When my dad saw it he said "did you get him back". I said "no he was way bigger than me." My dad said " you should have picked up a stick" I said "but that's fighting dirty" he said "Son the guy standing at the end decides if it was fair. If you have to pick up a stick or rock to be the one standing, that's what you do. If the fight last more than 15 sec. You didn't mean it." 2nd grade was the last time I lost a fight!
When i got in a fight in middle school, 7th grade i was afraid to defend myself. My father said" i don't want you to start the fight......you are not a bully, but because you have cerebral palsy i need you to be badder than the bully. Make everyone forget you have cerebral palsy and own that fight, use every thing you can to win. You can either be ruthless or worthless. " well 2 weeks later the bully pushed me into a wall and i picked up a text book and bashed him in the nose. He bled so much he got woozy and droped to the floor after a few hits with said book. I was sent home that day. When i told my dad he asked if i started it. i told him no. He then said " I love you son. im sorry you were bullied but im proud that you didn't take shit. The school may punish you but i won't. If you have any home work finish it then you can go play."
Pretty much how I was taught. My father (Marine-raised USAF) was to the point with less words: "never start, always finish. If you're in a corner, get out at all costs. If you start a fight, the 2nd round is against me." Yes the school did punish me for defending myself at times, but I never had to worry about punishment at home.
Or you get a mean and evil sister to kick the ass of that little bastard that hit you.a 5th grader girl hit me and took my lunch I was in. Second grade My sister was in 1st grade ..LMAO, after mybsister was done with the bully she turn to me and look at me in the eye and said" if you don't stand up for your self, I will finish you like that" ..... since then I never lost a fight, love guns and knives. Love my sister and she always stands by me.
@@Fyrebird721 I don't remember exactly who was credited with saying it (I think it was some important Japanese general or some such during WW2), but basically he said the same thing. Japan was using the playbook and noticed the US was gratuitously and flagrantly ignoring/violating it, and that's what make it so hard to fight against.
Case and point with Malicious compliance.... had an NCO once decide I needed to clean the NCO head in our barracks.... Six or seven times well past the time everyone else had gone to bed and well past the point I had run out of cleaning supplies, so a quick run to the PX to pick up some bleach and ammonia (10 bottles of each) and a few respirators later the head was clean the NCO on duty had a migraine and I nearly caught an NJP for the way I cleaned the NCO head.
I once went to dinner with a bunch of Marines. They were all trading war stories, including this great one where one guy was telling us about his bout of dysentery while also in the midst of a firefight in house in Fallujah. His buddies are dying laughing and nodding in confirmation as he's telling about spewing from both ends while emptying a 249 for cover fire. Lesson I took from that: what would stop or slow most mortals on a normal day is just a funny story for a Marine WHILE IN COMBAT. 100% best time I ever had getting 'politely asked to leave' a nice restaurant (he was also acting all this out as he was telling the story).
Only other people I know of you shouldn't take to a nice restaurant is a group of fire/EMS people. The stories, which will not affect their appetite, will affect everyone else's...
Ah the good old, Saddam's revenge. Usually happens when you eat the falafel, or the kebabs. Delicious, but highly contaminated. All good, nothing that some 800mg motrins, and some Rpi-its won't cure.
Legendary Marine Chesty Puller once said “All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us, they can't get away this time.” and then the Marines kicked ass and took names. Made God happy that day as Heaven got a fresh batch of souls to judge.

My father was a Marine in WWII. He fought mostly in the Solomon Islands (he was in the first group to hit the beach at Guadalcanal). He told me many (read, most) fights were so close that they learned real quick to let the spoon fly on the "pineapple" grenades they used back then and let them cook off for 2 or 3 seconds before you threw them or they get thrown back at you! He was the best father anyone could have. RIP Dad.
Do you happen to know what division he was? I had a great uncle who was 3/6 2nd MarDiv (the ones that were temporarily attached to 1st MarDiv) who was KIA on Guadalcanal in January '43.
@@bryan5580 Yes I do. My dad had qualified as a "Marine Paratrooper" prior to deployment. Once the brass learned that trying to parachute in on an island would be suicide he was merged into the 1st. Marines where he stayed during his time on Guadalcanal. By the time he got to Bouganville he was attached to the 3rd Marines.
Just lost my dad on Veterans Day last year. He was a corpsman. I was a corpsman in the marines and I was always having to treat these guys like children keeping them out of trouble.
Spoon fly - absolutely! Cook off- very bad idea because the m67 frag grenade was made by the lowest bidder with a range of 2-5 sec of delay. And that is before you carried it around and banged it on everything as you are hitting and rolling. Had one go off as I threw it at bad guys after less than 2 seconds from the spoon flying.

I've always thought there 2 kinds of marines when they re-enter civilian life. 1 is the entitled d bag and the other is cool as fuck. I feel most are cool as fuck.
Our MOUT training in security forces it was the same, the instructor was a former marine who got jealous of how nice the air force lived so he switched. His advice for grenades in rooms was simple.. Flashbangs are for hostage rescue. Hand grenades are for prepping the battle space.
Marine here...is that not how every branch does it? I'm genuinely confused...why would you flashbang people that you are trying to kill? Why wouldn't you just dual purpose that room with a frag? What even is the point of not doing that?
@@1BeGe I'm not military, but I would guess to reduce civilian casualties under the existing rules of engagement. Tossing a frag into a room without knowing who is in there risks civilian casualties from the blast. Flash bangs can still cause injuries, but aren't supposed to be lethal on their own. Based on the videos from this channel, Marine doctrine is more concerned with destroying the enemy than anything else, so it tracks.
My boss is a marine and lav driver. When he was in the had a mock battle against the army ( Lazer tag system of some kind)and were told to stop killing them because their moral was so low from getting their shit pushed in and also legit kidnapped one of the army ncos while they were asleep
My dad (FMF Doc) has a delightful story about kidnapping a comms officer during their wargames and "persuading" them to give up the code for the day with bull ants.
Your not lying. I was Army and in 2011 we had a small war game with Marines in JRTC when I was with 10th mountain... We outnumbered them atleast 3 to 1.... We barely "won".. and when I say when I mean our unit readiness was down to 20%

Charles Upham was not a US Marine, but he did win the Victoria Cross twice and reportedly went into battle with a duffel bag full of grenades and more strapped to his chest with bandoliers. Part of the citation for his first VC included here: During the operations in Crete this officer performed a series of remarkable exploits, showing outstanding leadership, tactical skill and utter indifference to danger. He commanded a forward platoon in the attack on Maleme on 22nd May and fought his way forward for over 3,000 yards unsupported by any other arms and against a defence strongly organised in depth. During this operation his platoon destroyed numerous enemy posts but on three occasions sections were temporarily held up. In the first case, under a heavy fire from a machine gun nest he advanced to close quarters with pistol and grenades, so demoralizing the occupants that his section was able to "mop up" with ease. Another of his sections was then held up by two machine guns in a house. He went in and placed a grenade through a window, destroying the crew of one machine gun and several others, the other machine gun being silenced by the fire of his sections. In the third case he crawled to within 15 yards of an M.G. post and killed the gunners with a grenade. When his Company withdrew from Maleme he helped to carry a wounded man out under fire, and together with another officer rallied more men together to carry other wounded men out.
I served 22 years as a 11B, my father served 30 years as a Marine in Korea and Vietnam. ( I got pissed at my father and joined the Army to piss him off, well more) He told me once the only fair fight you will ever be in is they one you lose. That was my motto for combat.
I have to ask what’s with the difference of culture. I don’t know if the times have changed but I had the misfortune of seeing home some army reactions to “casualty evacuation” and……. They just stood around and got shot at….. I know the scenario is literally the definition of a shit show but you’d expect people who volunteered to kill for our country to have at least a little… motivation.
I was in the army and remember back during the invasion my company got yelled at for excessive use of hand grenades. We were told men this combat not halo
When we began Urban warfare in Iraq I had been out several years. I was very confused by the " complicated nature " described on the news about urban warfare. As I specifically remember MOUT training in MCT. It's not complicated. It's just heavy. Because when your training is three grenades thrown into the house at the same time, then enter. That's a lot of grenades. Three grenades per room. That's a lot of grenades. And grenades weigh a lot. So I was confused as to why they said "complicated" instead of " heavy ".
I used to teach MOUT in SOI. I can verify the vast utilization of grenades and like materials. I used to booby trap the hell out of the MOUT facility any time we had a class go through the final phase. Good times were had by...well, me.
ahhh School of Idiots... lol I went through ITS (85) That sounds like fun. we did a tire house in Lejune in 89 when I was in Kilo 3/8 two grunts threw in 2 frags they went boom they rush in and pass out no air. laughed our asses off
I once told an operations briefing officer that all missions should start with the phrase "After the bombing runs are complete, and we've sent in the Marines ....".
My cousin is a marine and he taught me to fight when I was in 8th grade. I was being bullied and he asked what my biggest book was. It was Algebra 1. He told me to walk up behind the kid and hit him in the back of the head with the book as hard as possible. I said that isn’t fair and he said “look I don’t know how to say this any clearer…there is and never will be a fair fight. Any means necessary”. My mom almost had a heart attack.
Our unit started its offensive push in Hellmand in 09 and one of my fellow marines was asked if he thought we were surrounded as enemy fire and return was occurring all around us. All the marine said was “God, I hope so”.
I sent it to a marine friend... He then proceeded to watch every single one of your videos and still watches them.. Thank you for your service is the best I can offer any and all service men and women
My boyfriend was in the Army and he got told " you ain't trying if you ain't cheating". I absolutely hate that saying but it works when soldiers need to fight, it makes me wonder if the dude who said it was an ex-marine.
Awesome evaluation!! I am a retired 91W, Baghdad, Class of '04. Marines DO NOT play well with EACH OTHER, and if you are standing against them.....you get dead quick. They are truly an amazing group. God bless
You are an awesome inspiration! Here are 2 quotes I think you will appreciate from the Marine of Marine's .. 1. “They’re on our right, they’re on our left, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us; they can’t get away from us this time.” - Chesty Puller and 2. “Great. Now we can shoot at those b**tards from every direction.” - Chesty Puller
I found your (blatantly stolen and reposted) content on Facebook today, and had to see more. I immediately subscribed, and have been bingeing nonstop since. You’re funny, well spoken, concise, intelligent, and very entertaining. I predict your channel is destined for great things. I wish you nothing but the absolute best.
My wife (wife of Marine) and I (certifiable crayon munching Jarhead) were once asked by our local church group to come out and play paintball with them. She and I arrived with encrypted radios, gillie suits, face paint, two full auto Angels with Halo hoppers. I admit that I was shot once as soon as we entered the field and I felt really stupid. We played 9 more rounds and neither myself or my wife got shot again. The two of us rolled all of the kids and adults for the rest of the day. We were never invited back sadly.
In 2005 I got to help build the MOUT training facility in 29 Palms and I can tell you that many of the training scenarios really have no way of winning - the point was how to be the most effective while losing. We even win while losing.
I can say as a person who has had marines in my family...I have heard stories of them just saying fuck it and throwing the explosive little pineapple in a door and killing everything
Marine vet here- can confirm that the lines “if your not cheating you’re not trying” is intact an unofficial motto for the marine corps as well as “the only unfair fight is the one you lose”. There are several more but I am also convinced that the USMC keeps us so goddamn frustrated with fuckfuck games and unrelenting bullshit that when we are allowed of the chain war crimes may or may not happen.
I have a similar saying I taught my three girls when they were young, and as adults, they still live by it and can, when asked, recite it verbatim. " IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A FAIR FIGHT... YOU DIDN'T SET IT UP RIGHT!!!" Plt 3064, Paris Island, SC June July August 1986.
I got raised by a Vietnam vet Marine before I joined up, so fair fights were discouraged and default aggressive was expected. He’s the one that taught me it’s better to go straight to 10 than wait for the other guy to get there first.
I swear SF dudes handed me a bag of flash bangs taped to frags. The guy smiled and said "FLASH BANG! They'll never see it coming man." I called for my PSG like a child who's about to get his ass whopped for holding something he's not supposed to have. My S4 NCOIC a Marine turned Army SFC, grabbed the bag from me, smiled and said. "Look how cute this is!" As he ran to his office with I shit you not a duffle bag of these things.
Grenades. Love 'em. As the up gunner I carried 4. 4. While manning the machine gun in my vehicle. Needless to say everyone else in my squad had a bunch too.
I dated a Marine that did the same job I did on the Navy side... I was a Quad 0 Gunner's Mate think her MOS was 2111? It's been a while. This woman was a badass. We would play paintball and one game kinda went like you described, I learned the term "Target Rich Environment" from her that day.
I'm a former Marine myself, and this man is speaking the truth! You just got a sub just for this! Marines will tell you we will f you up, but we won't tell you when or where! Improvise, adapt, and overcome! Semper Fi!
@@KennethNelson-fi2wz I know that. Didn't need an education. I'm a Marine for life. Only stating active service is over. Layman's terms for the real uneducated.

False sense of security, hm... looks like something even more diviuos was concocted by the Corps. Anyway, about chit tactics. I found on the web Marine quote, which I love. Don't know who said it, it wasn't signed. Here it is: "We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army . On 7th day when GOD rested we overrun the parymeter and stole the globe; we've been running the show ever since". HAPPY 246th BIRTHDAY MARINES. Wherever you are.🇺🇲 Celebrate with a BANG💥.

First month at my first unit my shop goes to a random paintball tournament in Okinawa. Its us (like 6 Marines) with no gear using the rental stuff given out for free, vs all these Airmen and soldiers who apparently did this every weekend. This was supposed to be their big tournament and they had the gear, the outfits, and all the fancy doo dads. Not only did we win, we OVERWHELMINGLY won. Almost thought we would get in a fight cause every other official team there was pissed that a random group of Marines had shown up and took their tournament. Good times.
Marines fighting rules: Your enemy is unarmed, Bring a Gun Your enemy has a knife, Bring a Shotgun Your enemy has a gun, Bring a grenade Your enemy has a friend, Bring Mark
In USMC boot camp in the 90s, we had a maybe day or two long instruction on the Geneva Convention and rules of war, how to treat prisoners, etc. We were instructed on about a dozen rules or scenarios, told what the RIGHT answer was, and then told this: "It's always better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6". For each and every one of those rules and scenarios we covered.
Dude i went paintballing with a marine and im not military but im really good at paintball and the only one that can keep up with him so it was us two against 20, he had a paintball version of a 240 bravo bc he was a machine gunner in the corps, and i can just see the sadistic psychotic grin and the words: this is gonna be fun
It would be more sadistic and psychotic NOT to be mowed down by an m240 bravo. That's alot of lead, BIG lead. Especially when you compare it to the spicy .22 rifle that is the m16. I'd rather be unalived by an m240 bravo. I may be buried in Tupperware containers, but it'll be quick.
We also train to throw grenades in a manner that grabs attention, increases its chances to bounce around the room into potential points of cover, and encourages advisories to chase after it in attempt to throw it back despite the fuse not being long enough for them to do so.
Those old molle gp ruck pouches hold a lot of grenades. When you mount them on the back of your flak it works great for your buddy to just grab and throw.
Two things that my drill instructors on Parris Island said have always stuck with me. "Your primary mission as a marine is to provide your enemy with the maximum opportunity to give his life for his country or cause." "If you kick enough ass, names won't matter." 😉👍🇺🇸 Semper Fi!!
Lol i did airsoft for a while after getting out of the Corps. I can vouche for this. My best moment was the other team had 22 members 6 where Army 11bs 1 19d against my team of 6 with 4 of us Being Marines. We won every match lol
...Ouch. It is more like a 10th of a %.... But those 10th's do add up to 100% every now and then. The trick is making sure you're not on the Osprey that is flying that day.
Remembered the time one boot asked his squad leader after talking about reading the pub on infantry tactic why they make it public for the enemy and the Sgt responded "its like being a middle schooler that can read Mike Tysons mind in a fight because even if you see it coming there's not shit you can do about it"
That's great that we have a tactics manual but I doubt they follow much of it. That's why we were so effective in WW2 especially against Germany. Everytime they would engage us expecting us to do something we would do something else because we didn't follow our own doctrines. They were pretty pissed about it too.
@@robertrowe8531 congratulations you have have the reading compression of a 3rd grader! Did I say the word marine or any form of it in my comment? I'll answer for you. No I didn't. I did however, mention tactics and used the powers of inference to say that because the army didn't adhere blindly to their doctrine in WW2 while fighting in Europe and saw great success as a result it would stand to reason that the marine corps would take that knowledge on board and utilize it for their own success. But you go ahead and keep making arguments against things I never said. After all, I can tell you're the wisest most perfect human to ever walk this disgusting mud ball of a planet that we call home.
The subject matter in regarding the post was about Marines which I am familiar with and obviously you are not. So perhaps your AD@D got the better of you and were too hyped up?, or perhaps you inadvertently wrote about the wrong thing?, or perhaps you are the kind of person who thinks he knows it all and yet don't know your ass from a hole in the ground?

71 year old civilian woman. Southern woman. My dad was Army, WW2, my brother was Air Force, VietNam. My best friend's Dad was a Marine also WW2, Asia. He was at Iowa Jima (did I spell that right?). This video finally explains a LOT to me. My best friend has three brothers, she was the oldest. As the boys became men, they each went through that phase where they thought "I am big enough now. I can take Dad." When the oldest boy did that - they were in the kitchen, just the two of them. He'd been taking orders from Dad, who was not in a good mood, and he was so sure he was now bigger than Dad. He turned quickly to face his Dad, but his Dad wasn't there. There was an old Marine in a ready position for hand to hand combat. He dropped what he had in his hand and backed off quickly. My best friend still has three brothers, and that event did not have to be repeated.
An old Marine Corps Combatives manual cautioned that using feet as a weapon has some risk to the Marine: "You may hurt your foot while crushing the enemy's skull". True quote.

All my knowledge on this was second hand, until today. We started a Snowball fight on campus, and I was teamed up with a Marine. Today was the day I learned "Secret USMC Snowball Fight Tactics." Needless to say, we won, and no one else know what they had coming. Today I have learned why the USMC are 2-0 for world wars.
I fought marines in paintball before. 8 of us held a two story building. 3 marines snuck up on the guys in the bottom floor, and wiped them out before they even knew what was happening. One guy from upstairs where I was went to the stairs to see what was happening and took a paint grenade to the chest. The other 3 of us upstairs... we didnt last long at all.
What I wish had been said in this video is that the Commandant of the Marine Corps back when they were setting up the Joint Special Operations Command told the other Joint Chiefs "All my marines are special forces," which considering I've served these fuckers pizza while they're at Camp Geiger, I can confidently say that I wouldn't want a Marine as my financial coach, but I'll be damned before I fuck with them.
@@the_fat_electrician Makes sense, the videos are absolutely hilarious tho and I can't wait to see what's next. Although if I may make a request, the USS Enterprise (CV-6), the WWII aircraft carrier has a great story and I would love to see it covered here with the sort of commentary you do.
USMC Classic! Chosin Reservoir was a tough fight for the Americans. Surrounded by the enemy, they were under constant threat and struggled for supplies. Even in such a desperate moment, Chesty Puller retained his resolve, saying: “We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies things.
You speak a lot of truth about a lot of MOSs and branches, and you should be pretty drunk by now, because a lot of guys should have bought you a beer about it already. Cheers!🍻
During ww2 a tactic that the US military would use if they had plenty of ammo was called walking fire what that was fire in ever direction literally like ever window to ever corner leaving a carpet of brass under your feet.
I paint balled with a marine scout sniper, when everyone said ready he left the county to flank, after the round was over, everyone spent some time finding him and explaining we are fat WM third shifters, it is not that kind of game. He was amazing, like 5' 6" 140lb out worked everyone on the crew, RESPECT.
Built up combat areas require extensive use of hand grenades. The writer of this book is clearly a veteran of operation metro and operation locker, aka operation nade spam
There was a story of a robotics company making a robot to replace soldiers. It was supposed to be A.I they hired some soldiers, can't remember what branch, but they told the soliders to try to fool the robot and sneak up on it They ended up putting a box over themselves or somersaulting towards the robot. They were able to get right up to it. Shows the ingenuity required on the battlefield.
I read an article about that incident and they were, I'm proud to say, Marines..... the Marines who disguisef themselves as boxes actually made it to the target.....
My dad’s a Marine and I heard several times growing up, “There’s no such thing as a fair fight; and why in the hell would you want to fight fair?”

Find yourself in a fair fight: you did it wrong.
I have heard that “the only unfair fight is the one you lose”. It’s not water-tight logic but I understand what the guy was trying to say
The Marines wrote up a 348 page detailed manual on how exactly they will bring your life movie to the end credits and said "Read it and weep"
The last line in the manual is *_"Once the engagement starts, this manual is obsolete."_*
The Marines did not then read it. So even if you do, lol, good luck.
Might as well just say, we win. Semper Fi!
The manual may as well jus say “improvise what do you think you were trained for”
When I was in second grade a 5th grader blacked my eye. When my dad saw it he said "did you get him back". I said "no he was way bigger than me." My dad said " you should have picked up a stick" I said "but that's fighting dirty" he said "Son the guy standing at the end decides if it was fair. If you have to pick up a stick or rock to be the one standing, that's what you do. If the fight last more than 15 sec. You didn't mean it." 2nd grade was the last time I lost a fight!
When i got in a fight in middle school, 7th grade i was afraid to defend myself. My father said" i don't want you to start the fight......you are not a bully, but because you have cerebral palsy i need you to be badder than the bully. Make everyone forget you have cerebral palsy and own that fight, use every thing you can to win. You can either be ruthless or worthless. " well 2 weeks later the bully pushed me into a wall and i picked up a text book and bashed him in the nose. He bled so much he got woozy and droped to the floor after a few hits with said book. I was sent home that day. When i told my dad he asked if i started it. i told him no. He then said " I love you son. im sorry you were bullied but im proud that you didn't take shit. The school may punish you but i won't. If you have any home work finish it then you can go play."
great advice
Pretty much how I was taught. My father (Marine-raised USAF) was to the point with less words: "never start, always finish. If you're in a corner, get out at all costs. If you start a fight, the 2nd round is against me."
Yes the school did punish me for defending myself at times, but I never had to worry about punishment at home.

Love my sister and she always stands by me.
You have to be a pure badass to basically give the enemy a book on how you are about to make them past tense
Make it a graphic novel format, so you can get a good idea of what's about to happen to them.

Six or seven times well past the time everyone else had gone to bed and well past the point I had run out of cleaning supplies, so a quick run to the PX to pick up some bleach and ammonia (10 bottles of each) and a few respirators later the head was clean the NCO on duty had a migraine and I nearly caught an NJP for the way I cleaned the NCO head.
I once went to dinner with a bunch of Marines. They were all trading war stories, including this great one where one guy was telling us about his bout of dysentery while also in the midst of a firefight in house in Fallujah. His buddies are dying laughing and nodding in confirmation as he's telling about spewing from both ends while emptying a 249 for cover fire. Lesson I took from that: what would stop or slow most mortals on a normal day is just a funny story for a Marine WHILE IN COMBAT. 100% best time I ever had getting 'politely asked to leave' a nice restaurant (he was also acting all this out as he was telling the story).

Legendary Marine Chesty Puller once said “All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us, they can't get away this time.” and then the Marines kicked ass and took names. Made God happy that day as Heaven got a fresh batch of souls to judge.

My father was a Marine in WWII. He fought mostly in the Solomon Islands (he was in the first group to hit the beach at Guadalcanal). He told me many (read, most) fights were so close that they learned real quick to let the spoon fly on the "pineapple" grenades they used back then and let them cook off for 2 or 3 seconds before you threw them or they get thrown back at you! He was the best father anyone could have. RIP Dad.
Respect to your father.
Do you happen to know what division he was? I had a great uncle who was 3/6 2nd MarDiv (the ones that were temporarily attached to 1st MarDiv) who was KIA on Guadalcanal in January '43.
@@bryan5580 Yes I do. My dad had qualified as a "Marine Paratrooper" prior to deployment. Once the brass learned that trying to parachute in on an island would be suicide he was merged into the 1st. Marines where he stayed during his time on Guadalcanal. By the time he got to Bouganville he was attached to the 3rd Marines.
Just lost my dad on Veterans Day last year. He was a corpsman. I was a corpsman in the marines and I was always having to treat these guys like children keeping them out of trouble.
Spoon fly - absolutely! Cook off- very bad idea because the m67 frag grenade was made by the lowest bidder with a range of 2-5 sec of delay. And that is before you carried it around and banged it on everything as you are hitting and rolling. Had one go off as I threw it at bad guys after less than 2 seconds from the spoon flying.

What he said?
WHAT DID HE SAY ???????????
He thought it was funny
Our MOUT training in security forces it was the same, the instructor was a former marine who got jealous of how nice the air force lived so he switched. His advice for grenades in rooms was simple..
Flashbangs are for hostage rescue. Hand grenades are for prepping the battle space.
Did you ever go through EST training with my husband, CMS Lee Sexton? Of course we retired years ago but you never know.
@@bieuxyongson nope, can't say that I did.
@@phlemdog We were probably retired before you joined. My husband and his team basically created that part of the career field in the early 80s.
Marine here...is that not how every branch does it? I'm genuinely confused...why would you flashbang people that you are trying to kill? Why wouldn't you just dual purpose that room with a frag? What even is the point of not doing that?
@@1BeGe I'm not military, but I would guess to reduce civilian casualties under the existing rules of engagement. Tossing a frag into a room without knowing who is in there risks civilian casualties from the blast. Flash bangs can still cause injuries, but aren't supposed to be lethal on their own.
Based on the videos from this channel, Marine doctrine is more concerned with destroying the enemy than anything else, so it tracks.
My boss is a marine and lav driver. When he was in the had a mock battle against the army ( Lazer tag system of some kind)and were told to stop killing them because their moral was so low from getting their shit pushed in and also legit kidnapped one of the army ncos while they were asleep
My dad (FMF Doc) has a delightful story about kidnapping a comms officer during their wargames and "persuading" them to give up the code for the day with bull ants.
Ask him what unit he and the opfor were and get back to us.
Your not lying. I was Army and in 2011 we had a small war game with Marines in JRTC when I was with 10th mountain... We outnumbered them atleast 3 to 1.... We barely "won".. and when I say when I mean our unit readiness was down to 20%

Charles Upham was not a US Marine, but he did win the Victoria Cross twice and reportedly went into battle with a duffel bag full of grenades and more strapped to his chest with bandoliers.
Part of the citation for his first VC included here:
During the operations in Crete this officer performed a series of remarkable exploits, showing outstanding leadership, tactical skill and utter indifference to danger.
He commanded a forward platoon in the attack on Maleme on 22nd May and fought his way forward for over 3,000 yards unsupported by any other arms and against a defence strongly organised in depth. During this operation his platoon destroyed numerous enemy posts but on three occasions sections were temporarily held up.
In the first case, under a heavy fire from a machine gun nest he advanced to close quarters with pistol and grenades, so demoralizing the occupants that his section was able to "mop up" with ease.
Another of his sections was then held up by two machine guns in a house. He went in and placed a grenade through a window, destroying the crew of one machine gun and several others, the other machine gun being silenced by the fire of his sections.
In the third case he crawled to within 15 yards of an M.G. post and killed the gunners with a grenade.
When his Company withdrew from Maleme he helped to carry a wounded man out under fire, and together with another officer rallied more men together to carry other wounded men out.
I served 22 years as a 11B, my father served 30 years as a Marine in Korea and Vietnam. ( I got pissed at my father and joined the Army to piss him off, well more) He told me once the only fair fight you will ever be in is they one you lose. That was my motto for combat.
I like it
I have to ask what’s with the difference of culture. I don’t know if the times have changed but I had the misfortune of seeing home some army reactions to “casualty evacuation” and……. They just stood around and got shot at….. I know the scenario is literally the definition of a shit show but you’d expect people who volunteered to kill for our country to have at least a little… motivation.
I was in the army and remember back during the invasion my company got yelled at for excessive use of hand grenades. We were told men this combat not halo
haha!

@@bkane573 butterbar better be 1st in the stack then. 🤣

So Master Chief's a marine? Got it.
I’m a Marine. The best I ever heard was that it’s a serious mistake to think a single Marine is outnumbered.
When we began Urban warfare in Iraq I had been out several years. I was very confused by the " complicated nature " described on the news about urban warfare. As I specifically remember MOUT training in MCT. It's not complicated. It's just heavy. Because when your training is three grenades thrown into the house at the same time, then enter. That's a lot of grenades. Three grenades per room. That's a lot of grenades. And grenades weigh a lot. So I was confused as to why they said "complicated" instead of " heavy ".
I used to teach MOUT in SOI. I can verify the vast utilization of grenades and like materials. I used to booby trap the hell out of the MOUT facility any time we had a class go through the final phase. Good times were had by...well, me.
ahhh School of Idiots... lol I went through ITS (85) That sounds like fun. we did a tire house in Lejune in 89 when I was in Kilo 3/8 two grunts threw in 2 frags they went boom they rush in and pass out no air. laughed our asses off
I once told an operations briefing officer that all missions should start with the phrase "After the bombing runs are complete, and we've sent in the Marines ....".
The enemy: You're literally surrounded by all sides, give up
Marines: Hey Paterson! How many body bags do we have left?! 3?!
"We have you surrounded"
"You'll die braver than most"
*peeks head out* now I've only got three body bags so you'll all have to share
“All i am surrounded by is Fear and Dead Men”
Then it is a fair fight
Marines: jokes on you! that just means we get to shoot in any direction and call it legit!
My cousin is a marine and he taught me to fight when I was in 8th grade. I was being bullied and he asked what my biggest book was. It was Algebra 1. He told me to walk up behind the kid and hit him in the back of the head with the book as hard as possible. I said that isn’t fair and he said “look I don’t know how to say this any clearer…there is and never will be a fair fight. Any means necessary”. My mom almost had a heart attack.
Our unit started its offensive push in Hellmand in 09 and one of my fellow marines was asked if he thought we were surrounded as enemy fire and return was occurring all around us. All the marine said was “God, I hope so”.
I sent it to a marine friend... He then proceeded to watch every single one of your videos and still watches them.. Thank you for your service is the best I can offer any and all service men and women
"If you're not cheating, you're not trying" is the motto of some dependas I knew once upon a time.

The Marines don't read the Marines Tactic book. They just know that boom=good.
Boom does in fact equal good. Boom good. Boom very good.
There's truth in this.
Though to be fair some E-6 probably read it and is telling his guys to do it, so it's sorta like they read it by proxy.

My wife (wife of Marine) and I (certifiable crayon munching Jarhead) were once asked by our local church group to come out and play paintball with them. She and I arrived with encrypted radios, gillie suits, face paint, two full auto Angels with Halo hoppers. I admit that I was shot once as soon as we entered the field and I felt really stupid. We played 9 more rounds and neither myself or my wife got shot again. The two of us rolled all of the kids and adults for the rest of the day. We were never invited back sadly.
😂. Sigh…if only the Germans hadn’t invited us back in ‘41
In 2005 I got to help build the MOUT training facility in 29 Palms and I can tell you that many of the training scenarios really have no way of winning - the point was how to be the most effective while losing. We even win while losing.
as a coyote in that facility. teaching POGs how to win is like teaching checkers to a child. when the game is chess
I can say as a person who has had marines in my family...I have heard stories of them just saying fuck it and throwing the explosive little pineapple in a door and killing everything
“There plans of winning remain the same at all time,” sums up ol’ Daddy perfectly. Fuck I love you guys
Marine vet here- can confirm that the lines “if your not cheating you’re not trying” is intact an unofficial motto for the marine corps as well as “the only unfair fight is the one you lose”. There are several more but I am also convinced that the USMC keeps us so goddamn frustrated with fuckfuck games and unrelenting bullshit that when we are allowed of the chain war crimes may or may not happen.
Yup. Same as Marines dont steal...we acquire :)
My dad wasn’t just a Marine, he fought in the Pacific during WWII kind of Marine.
WWII Marines are a special kind of tough.
I have a similar saying I taught my three girls when they were young, and as adults, they still live by it and can, when asked, recite it verbatim. " IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A FAIR FIGHT... YOU DIDN'T SET IT UP RIGHT!!!" Plt 3064, Paris Island, SC June July August 1986.
I got raised by a Vietnam vet Marine before I joined up, so fair fights were discouraged and default aggressive was expected. He’s the one that taught me it’s better to go straight to 10 than wait for the other guy to get there first.
I swear SF dudes handed me a bag of flash bangs taped to frags. The guy smiled and said "FLASH BANG! They'll never see it coming man." I called for my PSG like a child who's about to get his ass whopped for holding something he's not supposed to have. My S4 NCOIC a Marine turned Army SFC, grabbed the bag from me, smiled and said. "Look how cute this is!" As he ran to his office with I shit you not a duffle bag of these things.

I was a POG and one of the first things we learn in MCT is how to clear a room...which starts by tossing in a grenade, waiting for the boom, then checking to see if anyone is still alive inside to make unalive...
I remember doing that in 1998. Good times had by all.
First month at my first unit my shop goes to a random paintball tournament in Okinawa. Its us (like 6 Marines) with no gear using the rental stuff given out for free, vs all these Airmen and soldiers who apparently did this every weekend. This was supposed to be their big tournament and they had the gear, the outfits, and all the fancy doo dads. Not only did we win, we OVERWHELMINGLY won. Almost thought we would get in a fight cause every other official team there was pissed that a random group of Marines had shown up and took their tournament. Good times.
Marines fighting rules:
Your enemy is unarmed, Bring a Gun
Your enemy has a knife, Bring a Shotgun
Your enemy has a gun, Bring a grenade
Your enemy has a friend, Bring Mark
And by "Mark" we mean a Mk19
In USMC boot camp in the 90s, we had a maybe day or two long instruction on the Geneva Convention and rules of war, how to treat prisoners, etc. We were instructed on about a dozen rules or scenarios, told what the RIGHT answer was, and then told this: "It's always better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6". For each and every one of those rules and scenarios we covered.
I love how I fell in love with your account with the A-10 warthog
Ditto. This guy’s got talent.
Dude i went paintballing with a marine and im not military but im really good at paintball and the only one that can keep up with him so it was us two against 20, he had a paintball version of a 240 bravo bc he was a machine gunner in the corps, and i can just see the sadistic psychotic grin and the words: this is gonna be fun
How'd the match go? I can only picture what happened lol
It would be more sadistic and psychotic NOT to be mowed down by an m240 bravo. That's alot of lead, BIG lead. Especially when you compare it to the spicy .22 rifle that is the m16. I'd rather be unalived by an m240 bravo. I may be buried in Tupperware containers, but it'll be quick.
As A RET Marine and combat vet. I Approve this message.
We also train to throw grenades in a manner that grabs attention, increases its chances to bounce around the room into potential points of cover, and encourages advisories to chase after it in attempt to throw it back despite the fuse not being long enough for them to do so.
Those old molle gp ruck pouches hold a lot of grenades. When you mount them on the back of your flak it works great for your buddy to just grab and throw.
Two things that my drill instructors on Parris Island said have always stuck with me.
"Your primary mission as a marine is to provide your enemy with the maximum opportunity to give his life for his country or cause."
"If you kick enough ass, names won't matter." 😉👍🇺🇸

I remember the time they leveled an entire city. Marines do not fuck around.
And that was just on liberty.
In 2006 the Marines opted not to switch from the M16 to the M4. The main reason given by the SMMC was "The M16 is better at D&C."
@histnerd6 Drill and Ceremony
Yes, yes it is....... wouldn't want to try Drill with an M4...... plus it shoots further...
The Marines are their own worst enemy, if they get to the fight you're screwed, however there's a 80% chance the Osprey they ride in on will crash.
...Ouch.
It is more like a 10th of a %....
But those 10th's do add up to 100% every now and then.
The trick is making sure you're not on the Osprey that is flying that day.
Remembered the time one boot asked his squad leader after talking about reading the pub on infantry tactic why they make it public for the enemy and the Sgt responded "its like being a middle schooler that can read Mike Tysons mind in a fight because even if you see it coming there's not shit you can do about it"
Marine here, in the schoolhouse. Favorite quote from one of my instructors “the only fight you lose is a fair one”
Very similar but in MCT I was told “the only fight you lose is one you allow to be fair”
That's great that we have a tactics manual but I doubt they follow much of it. That's why we were so effective in WW2 especially against Germany. Everytime they would engage us expecting us to do something we would do something else because we didn't follow our own doctrines. They were pretty pissed about it too.

71 year old civilian woman. Southern woman. My dad was Army, WW2, my brother was Air Force, VietNam. My best friend's Dad was a Marine also WW2, Asia. He was at Iowa Jima (did I spell that right?). This video finally explains a LOT to me. My best friend has three brothers, she was the oldest. As the boys became men, they each went through that phase where they thought "I am big enough now. I can take Dad." When the oldest boy did that - they were in the kitchen, just the two of them. He'd been taking orders from Dad, who was not in a good mood, and he was so sure he was now bigger than Dad. He turned quickly to face his Dad, but his Dad wasn't there. There was an old Marine in a ready position for hand to hand combat. He dropped what he had in his hand and backed off quickly. My best friend still has three brothers, and that event did not have to be repeated.

I fought marines in paintball before. 8 of us held a two story building. 3 marines snuck up on the guys in the bottom floor, and wiped them out before they even knew what was happening. One guy from upstairs where I was went to the stairs to see what was happening and took a paint grenade to the chest. The other 3 of us upstairs... we didnt last long at all.
What I wish had been said in this video is that the Commandant of the Marine Corps back when they were setting up the Joint Special Operations Command told the other Joint Chiefs "All my marines are special forces," which considering I've served these fuckers pizza while they're at Camp Geiger, I can confidently say that I wouldn't want a Marine as my financial coach, but I'll be damned before I fuck with them.

During ww2 a tactic that the US military would use if they had plenty of ammo was called walking fire what that was fire in ever direction literally like ever window to ever corner leaving a carpet of brass under your feet.
My dad was in the US Coast Guard. He was stationed out at Attu during the Cuban missile crisis. He has some stories...
I paint balled with a marine scout sniper, when everyone said ready he left the county to flank, after the round was over, everyone spent some time finding him and explaining we are fat WM third shifters, it is not that kind of game. He was amazing, like 5' 6" 140lb out worked everyone on the crew, RESPECT.
Built up combat areas require extensive use of hand grenades. The writer of this book is clearly a veteran of operation metro and operation locker, aka operation nade spam
There was a story of a robotics company making a robot to replace soldiers. It was supposed to be A.I they hired some soldiers, can't remember what branch, but they told the soliders to try to fool the robot and sneak up on it They ended up putting a box over themselves or somersaulting towards the robot. They were able to get right up to it. Shows the ingenuity required on the battlefield.
I read an article about that incident and they were, I'm proud to say, Marines..... the Marines who disguisef themselves as boxes actually made it to the target.....
He already has a video on that very topic titled "Marines Outsmart DARPA's Advanced AI" link: th-cam.com/video/t7bCOqDZpJA/w-d-xo.html
As a Marine, I approve this message
"If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying" I heard that in Army BCT back in '99 and I live that motto to this day!
Why why is this so good
I have no idea lol
@@the_fat_electrician because you made it. Nobody else could pull this off as well as you did.
@@dutchvanderlinde9400 that, and the 3 min time length for each video is the perfect amount of time to get a good laugh break.
Please do a video on The MARSOC.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING VIDEOS ... ALL OF THEM! 😊
So marines popularized "grenade spam." They probably designed the Brutal campaign of Call of Duty World At War
😂😂😂seeing this after playing WaW recently
If you enjoy paintball, you should see about going to Fulda Gap in NC in November.
Being surrounded simply means you can't possibly miss the enemy and will be able to put the ammo to good use
