I watched the Silent Platoon last night. The two flubs that I saw just goes to prove that they are, after all, humans. 1. A Marine knocked his cover off. 2. A Marine dropped his rifle. I commend those Marines for their professionalism even when something doesn't go quite right.

A good independece day to all the americans! Stay safe in this difficult time!

Just goes to show that not all 18-20 year olds are selfish little bastards. Look at these guys! Amazing! Happy 4th everyone!

Respect. Pride. No politics today. Leave that for another day. There are 364 days left for that.

a decade from now pretty much anyone will know what year this was a glance:)

Happy 4th of July America, from your friends across the pond.

Happy 4th of July to any Americans in the chat. I hope we all can still enjoy this holiday despite all the lunatics trying to destroy our country from the inside.

They look like a badass ninjas with those mask on

The United States Marine Corps. Outstanding!!

Happy 4th to my fellow Americans and i hope to our Canadian friends Canada day whent well.

They are great at drill

I watch the whole drill last year, because I have a Mother in my extended family. That has a Marine son. I'm not happy that she didn't remind me to watch it this year. I will certainly reprimand her asap. Semper Fi all. 👍👍😊

Matt killing it with the good ol content. Happy 4th of July America big up from JA

Now I understand what my Drill Instructors were going for.

Awesome!!! God bless the U.S.M.C.!!!!

This is something to see in person. The last time I saw the evening parade I was attending the Staff Non-Commisoned Officers Academy in Quantico, VA in the summer of 1985. We took a trip to DC to HQMC and finished the evening at 8th & I for the parade. Semper Fi!

They make masks look cool

Hail America!!

We may be masked, We may be silent, But we will never be unheard!

They look even more uniform with the mask and in my opinion, more badass as well

Omg! I couldn't look away. They have perfected everything! Yes, there was like... three messups.. but nobody is getting angry at them. I am at a loss if words!

THANK YOU USMC🇺🇸✨💋

How could you not like this?

The lighting and cam work are on point for this dark time.

Them’s my boyz.

great video, thanks for covering this. Much love from lincoln!

Definitely one of, if not the finest drill ever exhibited. Take Care and God Bless you and these Great Marines! John

Thanks Mat, you have a great weekend, and be safe.

They are great.

Probably heresy to state this, however, I was not a US Marine so I will anyway. After watching this demonstration with the masks on, I believe the Marines should all grow beards - cut short and neat and squared away of course. Why do I believe this? The Pirate Factor. As if the sight of a couple of dozen US Marines charging at you with fixed bayonets isn't scary enough, that same bunch of Marines with black pirate beards would be absolutely terrifying.

Thanks for the vids hopefully a Ruck march soon love your videos

Thank you, Matsimus.

Hurrrrmmphhh hummmph *Drill intensifies*

Happy independence day Matt!

Their drill is very good.

Amazing!!

Looking sharp!!!

Been watching a lot of the 2020 silent drill team videos...I have seen more mistakes in 2020 than any other year.

MURICA AND FREEDOM

17:25 when your buddy be flossing right in front of you and makes you drop your rifle in front of everyone, DamN!

Oh shit I though the video frozen 7:42 XD they're amazing!!

There's always one

Eight and I, don't fuck around.

OO FUCKING RAH Shit motivates me-active duty 0311

ADORE the “cover” tip to Trump on this!!!! #OOHRAH, Gentlemen!!!

That one guy lost his cap

What does this ceremony do and symbolise, as someone uneducated about this its just them doing cool stuff with the guns

I don't know if it's part of the drill or not, but one Marine still have his rifle on his shoulder(I don't know the correct term for it) throughout the whole drill. Can someone explain please? Thank you.

Fuckn hell boys you dropped a rifle. The next sequence should have been pushups

9:53 a marine loses his cover. blink and you will miss it.

Impressive !!! : )

My father, though not on the Silent Drill platoon, was assigned to 8th & I about 30 years ago and he taught our MCJROTC this style of exhibition drill when I was going through high school. I would say, that while the elaborate rifle movements, spins, and throws are a key aspect of the Silent Drill Platoon, the high standard of discipline and precision are its most important traits, to which all members of this platoon maintained during the exhibition. That said, speaking from my limited experience at drill meets and other events through High School and University ROTC, I know the Marine that knocked his cover off and especially the one that dropped the rifle during the side-spin-toss were likely kicking themselves after the ceremony. As to the impact of the face masks, while I can't speak to how it affected their breathing, I could still see it being a very annoying distraction in an environment where attention to detail is critical. However, I am glad to see that they are taking the current situation seriously and using protective equipment even in ceremonial events such as this.

gang gang

Stunning display of pride, and discipline. Hats off to all Marines. These guys are representing a lot in the conversation that they have here for us to sit in on. And of course, Hats off to Chesty Puller for forming the roots that these men are tending to

"Lockhead Martin OneMind™ Hivemind system demo"

Ninja Marines

Of course it took a Brit-Canadian.

These Marines wouldn't freak out playing Fortnight when MrBeast said he'd donate $70 thousand for a win.

honestly they look even better with masks

Why did Matisimus remove all videos to russian equipment from his channel???

hey mat and everyone, im looking for your videos about top 7 ciws also other video about russian flagship forgot its name, but i saw ciws got deleted from themtube, so where can i find all of your videos?

Those masks are SICK! This would what the Imperial Japanese Ninja Force's drill be like had they won world war II!

That one boot lost his cap.

Yut

They cheated for when the officers marched in front of the troops to get to their position - there was a cutout for the officers to stop on . For us in Australia 🇦🇺 we are taught to count the steps and if we are slightly out that is fixed with a Right Dress - officers and troops do this .

I see some of the Marine's don't have their safety equipment fully in place, would it be throwing off their coordination and timing ? Impressive show of drilling.

What was the command from 1:04-1:10 ish I saw like a third of the Marines at a different position?!? Can someone elaborate, I was in the Marines but never saw a command where only some of the platoon did something and others didn't.

syphilis

You can smell the leadership potential by those whose noses you can see.

Every time they scare shit of me that they may screw something.

Looks more American without the masks

The Marines wearing Masks make them look more fierce.

Not a lot the yanks do well but by fook, do they do damn good drill!

All for show and not for blow, as they say. I'm sure if one of our proud British tommies waved a cup of Yorkshire tea of front of them they'd run about squealing like frightened school girls :D But they are cool to watch!

The Marines are great, even with some flops they still kept going and that discipline and professionalism makes me wonder if those flops wasn't orchestrated. Also they look more of badass with masks on.

Couple things that caught my attention - given the US Marine's reputation on being...festidious, about their uniforms, i wonder what was up with some having noses uncovered. A few with mouths uncovered i can imagine needed for clarity of orders. The marine that lost his cover and the second his rifle - i almost hope that was deliberate, cause i dont wanna imagine the shit theyd catch off field for that. Cannot help but admire the pure discipline and order on display here.

I have a problem with the Bane #Hollywood mask.

first

This is what you call, ‘freedom from getting sick in contrast to blokes who thinks their freedom is much more important than the health of others let alone their freedom to stay alive’.

The black masks make them more intimidating.

Who are the 9 dirtbags that disliked the video???

good but not as good as the Canadian army!!!

Awful lot of yelling in silent drill

Que fea forma de marchar tienen mejor vengan a CHile a aprender.

Sad to see my Marine brothers doing this wearing those masks.

Lmao their alignments sucks

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring.
