Not all. Some have disgraced their uniform.

Amen. Especially some of the phases we use. They can be very ugly and inappropriate. Attention getters.

@@nonhominid You're absolutely right. Makes me mad cause some turn out to be Shit Birds.

OORuuuuhhhh!!

Jim Killgrove` 👍🇺🇸💜

Hats off to you Sir. 12 years is substantial

Jim, I went back into another branch after serving in our Corps on active duty for 10 years. 16.5 years later at 43 I joined the US Air Force and retired in 2017. I was a Marine wearing a USAF uniform was all...

As the saying goes “Once a Marine, always a Marine”. No such animal as an “ex-Marine”.

@@tvormwald u j

The Marine's MARINE!

That explains all the purple hearts!

May god bless him a true hero

Its often the ones that do the most that dont receive acclaim and fame He is a true hero we owe a huge debt of gratitude to And thank YOU for sharing his story 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Thanks Doc.

The Marines few good men…The Navy Corpsman. We always took care of doc.

Bless him!

he has my respect,and I ride a Harley,i'm 68 and you're old man is tuff to the bone,somebody change his oil

Bobbie...That's what a TUFF ASS MARINE does...PRETTY MUCH WHAT HE/SHE WANTS TOO!!! I absolutely love the idea that your dad is 92 & STILL RIDES A HARLEY!!! I would love to meet your dad & just listen to his life story!!! Much love from Mobile.

Cool cool

Let the man enjoy the time he has left.

🤣👍

My ship was undergoing overhaul in dry dock and we were assigned to "The Marine Barracks" in Pearl Harbor in 1976. Marines for some odd reason didn't take too kindly to that. Actually, the Marines are a part of the Navy, always have been, always will be. God bless our active duty troops.

Ted, may your head freeze in peace, on top of that tuna fish can.

He served twice, WWII and Korea. Just imagine what his stats would've been had he not served. Semper Fi.

Phil Quigley baseball was a game.

Shortly after he retired, a reporter asked which team was the best he played on....."The United States Marine Corps"

@@williammassey8514 yeah, he missed 5 years in his prime

Did mine in army. 72 to 75

@@juniormorse1426I do. I also have many more relatives that went to the service and have heard there stories just like you. So I know what you are talking about when they told there stories.

and thank you for all that your grandfather did in the war

That's very cool

They're all great !

@@anthonyolson5368 that really is very very cool.

Agreed...except there's not enough space for everyone at Arlington unless you're willing to be cremated. The other option is a Veterans Cemetery which is probably the option I'll take when I check out :-)

We honor all who served...but you'll have to expect a certain bias when you watch a video made about Marines and made by a Marine. I'm sure there are plenty of Army videos out there you can watch too. I don't go there and post because I'm a Marine. And if I do watch a video about US soldiers I'm not going to be surprised it they're all gun ho about the Army.

+Robert Dore I respectfully disagree. A Marine's proper resting place is wherever the f*** he feels like. I worked with a very dear friend who was in the Army, but had fallen on hard times, and was homeless, driving a cab. When he passed, my co-worker, who knew him very well, asked me what she needed to do to get him a proper burial in a Veteran's Cemetery. I told her what to do, she did the legwork. At his funeral, all of the office workers went to his funeral, and I guided my friend on what was happening, and when to give me everything she was holding on to. When she asked if I was going to do the same, I informed her I would be buried with my parents. My father is a Marine, and he's in a civilian cemetery with my mother. I'll be joining him there. So, a Marine's proper resting place is wherever the f*** he feels like, just as are most things with Marines - wherever the f*** we feel like. Where does a Marine call home? Wherever the f*** he feels like calling home. Or, as AFT Marine would say, "If I'm standing on it, it's America!"

Yes, very close to where Joe Louis (Army) is buried.

I was an Army paratrooper for 26 years but you know what? I can only stand in a Marine's shadow. Thank God America has a Marine Corp.

And if the Marine Corps wanted you married they'd have issued you a wife! :-D

BN Supply?

I wouldn't be surprised...it has that kind of effect on you.

RIP

Leana Jo RIP DI Ermey (that’s from a U.S. Army veteran, no less!)

He was a fitness freak in Columbo "An Exercise in Fatality"

Pat Garrett Yeah it took me some time after leaving the service to understand that.

Thank you for your service!

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it

There is no such thing as a "WERE" Marine. Only "ARE" Marines. Learned that 50-something years ago... Personally, I'm 5th generation Army, but still....

Thanks Thund3rb1rd for your service as well. Glad you liked the video.

That's great that he's going to serve! He will learn many useful lessons for a better life. Discipline, focus, attention to detail, unwillingness to quit and the most valuable to me was learning that I was capable of much more than I ever could have dreamed.

Thank you for your service. My grandson is already taking classes at the Junior College near the base. I am sure his service will help him succeed in whatever path he chooses. He is already a full Corporal (blood stripe) and has received an achievement medal. I am so proud.

Correct...it's simply a friendly rivalry between all the branches...we kid each other all the time but we'll be there in a heart beat to back each other up when called.

And we all bleed O.D.

Exactly. And america is more than just the US (: and you forgot an n in your name, (bann not ban). Have a lovely day (all)!

Ooorahh

Absolutely. And we will talk smack to each other but will not tolerate anyone else doing the same. It doesn't matter if you're a doggy, squid, zoomie, or jarhead, we've all earned that right. Civilian friends will talk nice to your face, but talk shit behind your back. Veteran friends will talk shit to your face, but talk nice behind your back.

Right, that's why he was included in the video.

Still a great example. 🇺🇸🇵🇷

They missed Oran “juice” Jones he had an 80’s hit The Rain. He was Marine Officer Sniper was only 2nd African American brigade commander in Naval Academy’s history

@@artcab6434 OMG, never knew he was a Marine.

Thanks for your family's service and Semper Fi!

moodg162010 Marine's are "first to fight" in most wars, they are the Navy's "Expeditionary Force".

moodg162010 my grandfather was a Marine who served in Guadal Canal too.

moodg162010 Wonder if he remembers Don Adams

I served in the USAF, and I believe and I believe marines are a cut above.

"New Corps, old Corps. Just as long as it's the Marine Corps." Chesty Puller

There was a time 50+ years ago that was not true. USMC 68-69

Mark Philpot Amen brother

Right up there with the finest combat troops amywhere

Later in life, she denied ever being in.

I always wanted it when I was a kid. I thought she was so beautiful and sexy.

She was a sergeant in the USMC ladies auxiliary during WW2.

James Dolan she was the butt of so many comics referring to her as mannish looking she tried to minimize it.

Roger that dude.

Everyone's a badass once they become a marine.

A corn-fed hardass.

Robert Diaz Thank you for your service!!! I lost my 2 favorite MARINE'S. Daddy Jim.... 13Sept2011. And my favorite cousin... LONNIE LEE DOCKERY( USMC Ret. MSGT).

My grandson start boot camp in January. Thank you for your service.

Wow that's great stuff!...imagine that...a Hollywood actor who wants to go to the front line!

Pablo Flores it struck me, too. It was in the official history of the Marine Reserve, published in their Golden Jubilee year, 1966. I had always liked Maj Powers, and many of the others. Somehow, you recognize that certain essence.

Yeah the real McCoys stand out.

@@PabloFlores Siempre fi Brother

@@PabloFlores : I had always love Maj Power! He was a great man, a good soldier and a great actor, too. Thank you very, very much!

I'll always remember R. Lee Ermy's character "G'ny Sgt Hartman" belting out, "OUTSTANDING." RIP, Marine.

I was stationed with shaggy on camp lejeune french creek .

@@kananirembert5734 - was Shaggy with 10th Marines HQ Battalion?

Doesn't matter who they are. You just have to look at the eyes. They are killers. We are lucky they walk among us.

​@@johnhadley7715 why arent u working for the FBI lol if you can tell killers just by looking at their eyes hahahaha? saying any part of Drew Carey other than the haircut looks like a killer is preposterous, the only expression in his eyes is comic mischief and the hunger for another burger or steak

He also should have been the Corps' Ace of Aces, as four of Gregory Boyington's total were planes he shot down when he was a Flying Tiger, for which he had to resign from the Corps, he was just a private individual.

No disrespect to our Army brothers nor to any other branch...but this videos is about Marines made by a Marine.

Sean Kelly- you stood your watch for your country; that’s all that matters. A cross-service Semper Fi to you.

My Uncle Troy, a staunch Marine of WWll, served full time in the Korean War in the coldest weather ever. He then served in Vietnam as an aircraft mechanic for 18 months. By then, he was nine weeks from retirement. Again he returned to Vietnam for another 9 months because there was a shortage of helicopter mechanics! 10 months later he was fortunate to return to us. He retired to the California desert, humble and rarely spoke of his service. He reasoned that he never wanted to see a winter as cold as Korea and he did not like the jungles anymore. He earned many medals. He was a hero in Korea. Many wrote of his bravery and dedication to young Marines. I only knew this because of the "Stars and Stripes" newspaper. To me, he was my favorite Uncle because he woke up early with us kids. He taught us how to make breakfast out of nothing. He called it "Montana Gravy" on a "shingle" ( ie., toast) We enjoyed "picnics" for lunch as we camped out. Truly, he loved America and he inspired greatness in all of us. His son retired as a Naval Commander. His grandson is flying "Hornets" now, based out of Rhode Island. Uncle Troy loved his family and the Marines. He chewed on an unlit cigar as long as I can remember. Even in retirement, Marines from all over came to have that 5am cup of coffee with him. I dearly miss the twinkle in his eyes and the lessons about loving family. May God bless him and our young Marines! Hoorah!

@@savvyda965 What a loving tribute. Glad you shared it. --from the mother and a niece of Marines

Murph didn't need the USMC. He just needed a chance. I have a brother, an Ïrish twin," 10-1/2 months younger. He's huge. I'm not. We went different paths. I went merchant marine, he went with The Corps. I cannot do what he did - maybe. However, having loaded and cleared MILCARGO on several exercises, I want to say that when Army and Marine elements get into port, USMC "junk" is always ready - tires pressed up, chains off, engines running. And...GONE, when the ramps are down. They fight. The finest light infantry in the world, bar none. The things they do, just amazing. I will never try to gain reflected glory off my brother. I'm just amazed we have one in the family.

figures---he's a fraud

What about us green side corpsman stationed with Marines?

@@Kraken9911 You (they) are as much Marine as any other who endured the training and the combat.

We love our squid cousins. Best mess halls in the services.

24. Years❤

J. K. I thought he served in the Korean War. To be a Korean War vet isn’t chopped liver.

Dennehy never made it further than Okinawa. He was born in 1938 so there's not much of a chance that he served in Korea.

Ernest Turnage To be fair, he did lie about his military service where he claimed to have tours in Vietnam under his belt when he in fact, didn’t.

@@dightonazpeitia4350 I know it and to me it makes him a shitbird, apology or no apology.

J. K. Sort of shamed himself? Actor Brian Dennehy claimed for years that he served a five-year tour as a Marine in Vietnam, where he was wounded in action. In reality, Dennehy's only Vietnam "action" was on-screen in "A Rumor of War", in which he portrayed a Marine gunnery sergeant. While Dennehy did serve in the Marines, it was not in Vietnam; his only "combat duty" was playing football in Okinawa in 1962.

Yep, they walk on water. Everyone should bow down to their greatness.

Thanks Monty, I’m glad you liked it. Please check out my other USMC videos linked in this video’s description.

Dan Kelly ummm. WhT about the losers living off bogus military disability?

That's a little vague. How about you define which ones don't deserve it?

Of course, it's about people we all know, how could nobody's be in it?

@@mroceans8336 In todays computer age, im sure very few.

I served in the Air Force, but some of the smartest guys I worked with at AT&T were Marines.

Well said!

blah blah blah ..

LOL

So did Mr. Green Jeans

Bob Keeshan never saw combat. He got in the Corps too late to get sent overseas.

found out about captain kangaroo from Lee Marvin on a late night talk show years ago. they were making a big to ,do about the fact that he was in a war zone in WWII. he just shrugged and said that there was another Marine on that beach that day . he was a Sargent standing up yelling at the men pinned down on the beach while bullets whizzed all around him. well his pep talk got those boys off the beach just in time for the next wave in to have a place to disembark and he said we would know this man as Captain kangaroo. also he mentioned another soldier that he had heard rumors about people down talking the man from the mister rogers show.. Mr. Marvin then went on to day that the reason Mr. rogers always wore long sleeves was to hide all of his tattoo's. he had been through 3 tours in Viet n Nam and a lot of that was behind enemy lines

Before he was Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan was Clarabelle the Clown on the Howdy Doody Show.

Thanks...yeah there's definitely some surprises

Hi Michael, No Peter Falk was not a Marine but he did join the Merchant Marines. That's probably what you're remembering. He wasn't allowed to join the Armed Services due to his missing eye which he lost as a child.

not to mention he was also kinda a action hero in The Killer Elite and Twilights last Glimming.

Thank you very much appreciated.

Thanks and thank your family for their service.

Did not happen as nearly as much as it is said.

Thank you I appreciate that and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
