50 Insane US Marines Facts That Will Shock You!

- This branch of the U.S. military was at first created to deal with invasions from water and invading via the water, but the marines do a bit of everything now. In 1834, the marines became part of the U.S. navy, but they go back to 1775. Presently there are around 186,000 active members and 38,500 reserves. It’s the smallest of the seven U.S. uniformed services - by those we mean Navy, Army, Air Force, etc. There is also a special branch of the marine corps, which is the “United States Marine Corps Special Operations Command.” This command often deals with more covert operations. It’s all a bit confusing as the U.S. military is comprised of so many parts, but we’ll help explain everything. Welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, 50 Shocking Facts about US Marines.

So, are there any other shocking facts about the US Marines that we didn't mention?
Working Parties, for sure. Also, most Marines do not like being called soldiers. Just for future reference

Happy birthday marines.
What about alot of the mass shooters were marines.
asdrubael vect I agree
Fact #51 Marines hate being called soldiers
Why
@@mustang8206 Because they are not Soldiers. They are Marines.
That's just straight up so true
My dad criticized me for that when i showed him the famous picture of the men putting the flag on Iwo Jima, I acidentally called him a soldier and he depicted off that one little word the whole trip back home. I was wondering why. He has been in the military for 20+yrs now, E-9 Sergeant Major
Soldiers are Soldiers and Marines are Marines !.
Any marine will tell you..they do not get the “best” gear.
U lucky if you get gear that is whole and fits.
But we do get the hottest women, they love our uniform!
Dominic Nunciato yes they do now. Even when I was in we were using plate carriers in Afghanistan while Army units were using vests comparable to the MTV. By the way I hope you weren’t a pog. Makes a significant difference. We also had peq16s. Finally true reformation is happening and the grunts are getting even better gear. So I’ve found the statement “ the corps doesn’t get the best gear” to be false when you compare the infantry to other conventional units
We do when we lift it from the Army.
Absolutely right. We never got the cool guy new stuff, not in my day. We still used Vietnam era gear, but we had the M16A2 before the Army. Shocking, I know.
As a paralyzed disabled veteran, 8 years in the US Army, I salute my fellow veterans, the US MARINES. I'm more than happy that they deploy before the US Army. When the US Marine Barracks was bombed in Lebanon, I felt the loss too. My grandfather was a US Marine in WW2. I go to his grave often. I hope we still have a few of the WW2 veterans still alive. They all experienced far more than any of us.

Your a Marine with my little pony as your photo?
Yup
Isaac Travers yeah, there’s so much stuff about the marines that I didn’t know, honestly it’s sad to see the corps the way it is now, I think it’s mostly because we don’t really have a war to fight, so the USMC starts focusing on the stupidest things because we don’t have a real purpose in peacetime

I’m an active serving marine, I personally knew the marine who died from the heart attack. We came from the same home town, even went through boot camp together, the title of marine meant everything to him and I’ve never watched a any other marines exert such resilience and pride.

But hey you can be sure it costs alot.
Our NVGs are not worth $20,000..... they're about $1,500. You must be thinking of MARSOC equipment. Marines are infamously given the worst gear available in the US military

I love how feminists are silent when it comes to women having lower physical fitness requirements in the military.
IAM a woman and mother of Marines and if my daughter was to joint the corps I should think no double standards are right if you want to be a Marine then pull the same line as any man would have to. It's not a feminist line it called right and fair

They tried that once in Marine Corps Officer Training. The feminists said the females should have the same standards as the males. Every female failed.

Marines rely on the Navy for their medical, dental and chaplains. Navy Corpsmen are part of every Marine unit and provide medical care for wounded Marines.
We ❤ our Devil-Docs

The Marine Corps birthday is November 10th 1775, because it was the day the the Corps was born, not because its when samuel nicholas was born.
Tun Tavern, Philadelphia!!! Oooh Raaah!
To be fair, this may be a thing that changed with legend. Much like Jesus being born on Dec 25th. While I'm sure the birth of the Marine Corps was Nov 10th, they probably adjusted it to be Nov 10th to honor the founder.
@@moldy_gecko I don't throw out much fact's but in the bible jesus was born around the time the sheep's grazing. Meaning it definitely wasn't winter.
You can't pin down the day someone like Jesus was born cause I'm sure they had no clue what a monday was. Even 1-10 just counting could of been like 0-500. Humanity is constantly changing how we do things and what is the norm'.
It was on a Friday too

Marines are not allowed to wear their utility uniforms within the civilian public.
Unlike the Army and Air Force... nasty.
And that's why the Marines are known for having the sharpest uniform in all of the military. Marines when traveling on civilian transportation must wear either the tropical (in summer time) or the class B green uniform.
I was wondering about that. When I was "in" (1965/70) we traveled wearing our tropicals (and yes, the long sleeve shirts were made of wool) and by the time we got to our destinations we looked like an unmade bed. Maybe it's time to rethink this. We also couldn't leave base unless our shirt had a collar on it.
Nasty pogs rah
Actually we were allowed to wear that uniform for doing business like going to the bank before it closed. You are not allowed to wear it in a public establishment like a bar or eating establishment.
That's really interesting!
Amazing
Fact 52: Marine is always capitalized. (This is coming from a soldier)
You are correct. Thank you!
Urrah
A soldier? Lol
Semper Fi, killer
Ahem Soldier is Capitalized as well, we fight the same battle brother.
I cant speak as to what Marines carry into combat these days but when I was in from 93 to 98 it was mostly 2nd hand from the army and navy. Most of our vehicles and equipment was worn out before we ever laid our hands on it.
But as all Marines know its all about ones ability to adapt amd overcome.
imagine what we had in 66-68?
How do you know it wasn't "worn out" from previous Marine issue? A "victim Marine", what's next?
I served from 2006 to 2015 0321 and we still got hand me down stuff from the army

You don’t have to be a US citizen. I joined when I was still a green card holder and got my citizenship after getting wounded from Iraq. Pres. Bush was personally at my oath taking to become a US Citizen at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
Here how it happened: I got wounded in Iraq and I was already medevac to US. After going though my 5th surgery for my blown up shoulder. Some Naval officer came to my room and told me that there was a VIP coming to visit us in 2 days and asked me if I have any request. Since I am still groggy from meds and probably still high, I told him I have no idea and asked him what did the other wounded marines wish was. He told me, one wanted to meet Jennifer Aniston and one who has been a marine for 25 years asked for us citizenship. I didn’t think of it too seriously because I just wanted to be left alone with some morphine because I just had a bone graph. I told him that I myself is not yet a US citizen and it would make me feel complete US Marine if I become a citizen. He wrote that down and left. If you guys want to know what happened next just goggle:
Lcpl Oj Santamaria Daly City US Marine Citizenship. I am proud to have paid for my US citizenship in sweat, blood and tears.

Samuel Nichols' birthday was NOT 10 November. In fact, his actual date of birth is unknown. The legislation which was passed to create the Marine Corps was enacted on 10 November, 1775. THAT is why the Marine Corps birthday is celebrated on that date.

Marines are in THE DEPARTMENT of the Navy, We are NOT IN THE NAVY. Want to know why? Because A Military Force must have at least 0ne MIllion Personnel to rate a Secretary Of a Branch of the Military. By law, the Marines are capped at 200,000 Personnel. (Except for "World Wars where More Troops were needed)Too Small to rate a Secretary of a Military Branch. Since Marines were allocated as A Force defending Ships and attacking from the Sea, it was placed under the Secretary of the Navy.
the most bloodthirsty branch of the US Military.

I'm not sure if you meant this is an insult or a compliment, but as a Marine I say it's completely true and completely a compliment. Rah.

Warren Lawrence you’re literally 15 what could you possibly know about the US marines? Considering marines are single handedly the best branch of the 4 branches we have lol and 5% is actually very false more like 15% see combat even if you’re a POG which most the brits actually are POGS lmao not my fault Americans are pretty great
European countries barely cooperate to go to war to be honest. Maybe if their lives depended on it and thats a maybe.

Oh yeah btw, the term "ex Marine" is often pejorative. It's only really used for those who've been dishonorably discharged. "Former Marine" is a much preferred term
And some don't even like the term Former Marine either.
Bc it's "once a Marine, always a Marine," isn't it?
Jonathan Riley Yeah, but I've found Former Marine the most acceptable way to say that I was in the Marine Corps but I've since gotten out without actually saying all of that and I feel that saying that I am a Marine sort of implies that I'm still in. To other Marines and service members I might be inclined to say that I'm a Marine, since they'd likely know what I mean, but to a civilian I feel that it's easier to say that I'm a former Marine to say that I'm a Marine but no longer serving.
once a Marine always a Marine! Semper fi bros
Yup, I think we just do it out of brevity, context will dictate.
But yes, Jonathan, you are correct. Once you earn the title, it is yours. To add to that point, you'll notice most Marines capitalize the word. ;)
I've been out of the Corps since the late 80s but my pride has never waned. Once a Marine always Marine.

I wonder when that changed? I went through MCRD San Diego in 1998, there was a long table off to the side where the DIs ate, so they could keep an eye on their platoons. You couldn't look around so you didn't notice them unless you got up to refill your drink or as you were leaving the chow hall.

Happy late birthday, my brothers. Semper fi!
A marine friend told me something that made my blood run cold:
"Be nice to everyone you meet, always be professional, and always have a plan to kill them." 💀
Mad Dog Mattis said that
"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." James Mattis (USMC General Ret.)
Always carry a knife with you just in case there is cheesecake or you have to stab someone in The jugular. (USMC Gen. Mattis ).
So funny, but so true. Take any marine worth his salt and place him in an area with people. He will silently evaluate weapons at hand, people that he poses as a possible threat, methods of attack etc.... he will do it without even thinking about it.
Your friend is awesome
We’re the poorest branch of them all, we DO NOT carry the “good stuff” and nor are we called soldiers
USMC 89-93!!! loved it all
Respects from the Army Airborne. Why did you not cover Recon and Raiders as part of MSOC?
BTW, at the strength you mention, almost everyone is combat arms. All other support functions (incl medic) are provided by the Navy. So you may regard a Marine the same as a Ranger or a PJ. It takes more than 20 support people to put each one of them in battle.
Our Warriors were the tip of the spear, but the modern battlefield is no longer survivable by infantry and specops casualties are always high.
Had you truly done research, you would have known you never, ever, call a Marine a soldier...and I say that as a proud mother of both a Marine and a soldier.
Have 2 sons.. one in san diego now in boot camp and the other waiting on delayed entry. Even I knew ..don't call em soldiers. And they aren't Marines till they graduate boot camp. Carry on Proud mom..!! Right there with ya.

From the bottom of my heart, Thanks for Your Support.
@@openureyes929 Getting enlisted to get killed in a foreign war LOL for corrupt oligarchs in Washington
It’s the marine your favorite?
A marine would crawl under a line painted on the ground if commanded. He'd dig a tunnel if he had to.
Omw to the island November 16th 2020 🔥
I love the Marine Corps. Semper fi!!
1. Marines are not soldiers
2. When the Army can't cut it, call the Marines.
More like marines first, hand it to the army, army needs an adult, call marines again
Clark Kent when the Army can't cut it, get a sharper knife
*UNITED STATES MARINES!!!!*
@Dumb Grunt and MARSOC, Force Recon, Recon and SEALs are a superior to Green Berets, because of the Marines. Let's compare apples to apples.
*From POOPING to facts about the military. THIS CHANNEL HAS IT ALL*
aye it wasn't just me!
Same thing amirite
sadly he's not always correct
My Father served 33 years in the Marine Corp. One combat tour in Korea and two combats tours in Vietnam. The Marines are the red headed step child of the military services. Hand me downs are what they get from the Army and Navy for the most part. But the Marines know how to adapt and overcome. Every piece of equipment (Tanks, Trucks, Artillery etc.) they have received as a hand me down, they have made improvements to and have adapted to their specific mission. The M60 tank is a classic example of that adaptation. During the Gulf war of 1991, the Marines used what others called an obsolete platform and made it work to great effect. The Marine Corp Motto is Semper Fedelis, Latin for Always Faithful! The second Marine Corp motto is, Adapt and Overcome!
Random marine solder:why did you want to join the military?
Me:i m not an expert at being fit but i m not bad at firearms
The random marine solder again:soooo..you joined the marines because your a firearm expert or something?
Me:uh...yup
At bootcamp on Parris island Drill Instructors don’t eat chow with you.
"When the Guide is done, you are all done." *Drill Instructor places Guide first in line.*
They do at the Warriors Breakfast after the Crucible
Yeah but you’re a marine by then but most the time you’re there you’re just being watched by them
Same in San Diego. They would never let you have the honor of eating with a Marine when you are in boot camp. “When the Guide is done, you’re all done!!!”
Is the guide allowed to be a cool guy and eat slower?
“But we guess the marines have the good stuff”
*Lol*
You guess wrong, as a Department of the Navy. We get what’s left over. We just get the most out of what we’re given!
can you try U.S Navy I like them and Top GUN as well
A marine friend of my mine once said “don’t call us jarhead. You can out stuff in Jars.”
I didn’t argue.
All soldiers learn as time passes to not expect the government to help them when they truly require it.
David Johnston at least the smart ones or those still alive
These aren’t soldiers
Spoiler: We, Marines, don't get the good stuff. The Army gets it.
Porfirio Lopez currently serving in the Army and I firmly believe the chair force gets the good stuff
Which goes to show that even if you don't have the "good stuff" you can still be the best! Semper Fi
So Generation Kill is real, marines always make do
Ain't that the truth! Bullets, that is the only thing I remember being fully outfitted with lol!
Porfirio Lopez and dem fancy seals
What's the ugliest thing on a Marine Corps uniform?
A Marksmens Badge, the 'ol toilet seat...
The pizza box
PIZZA BOX “well Ssgt I was hungry” actual quote by one of my buddies.
Well, Chesty Puller once said "give me all the UNQ's (unqualified shooters)". "They shoot everywhere". (no need for sight alignment and trigger squeeze).
It was the main reason I wanted to get better at the range... Finally ended enlistment as an expert.

Me, a solid Sharpshooter all the way trough; respectable I guess...?
