MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR?

-- the Marines attract the largest percent of Gay members of any branch, but if one Marine loves another, he cannot marry, due to mormon meddling in California and elsewhere.

--- PEOPLE USED TO ADMIRE THE MORMONS

--- Maybe the "prophets" will get a "revelation" that 1950 should be over

[jcirmsa]

@BOBLA90069 No... He cannot marry another man in the marine corps because they do not accept gays in the marine corps. It's a no ask no tell thing, but if they catch you doing something homosexual, they kick you out. Or so says my sgt.

And besides that, what does the mormon tabernacle choir singing a beautiful rendition of this song have anything to do with gay marines? I'm just confused by your thought process is all.

[leongregorio]

@BOBLA90069

There are no statistics backing up this statement since DOD does not keep track of "how many gays" are in the military nor "which branch attracts gays".

[captdlt]

Bite their heads off Son. Semper Fi. Dad.

"Dad" is fifth generation---Son is sixth geration Marine

[progressiverebel]

@captdlt . I don't like brag, six generations back my great grandfather, a Lt Colonel was with my 2nd cousin George Washington crossing the Deleware. I would be more than surprired if every generation of your family was Marines. Mine has been: I'm Army, My father Navy, his father US Cavalry,his father Texas Cavalary-Joe Shelby's Iron Brigade and Parson Brigade and on on on it goes. The Army and the Navy have always sholdered the burden. I was trained by Marines, stop the brag.

[WystenDraco]

Six people on this video are members of the Westboro Baptist Church (Hate Mongers).

[WystenDraco]

say, you got an individual pic of that female marine at 0:54? She looks familiar, I graduated high school in 2001, just a few months before the 9-1101 terror attacks. Several of my old classmates enlisted in the military. The one I speak of joined the USMC and served in Iraq. I'd like a copy of that pic if possible, to show it to her and ask her if that's her if that's okay with you? I could be mistaken, but it can't hurt to be positive.

[swflprof]

@WystenDraco Ill try to dig out that photo

I personally believe that women should have the right to do what they choose. If they want to be in field artillery, or just be a rifleman and fight side by side with their brothers.. I believe it should be their decision. Not the governments.

[Severice]

I always thought that when a band plays this song they sound like a bunch of pussies. But a bunch of marines belting it out, without music, just sounds Badass.

[Kaotic5656Shade]

can you all just please be quite? Does it matter who is better...? Honestly...?

They are ALL fighting for us, so be grateful all of them. ^_^

I was Army hat is off to marines, as far as NG it tAkes all branches of service to complete a mission no matter what u think those are the facts, i conducted raids in iraq with females on our team they were 62b or something mechanics they had to search girls if we came across them few were killed , bottom line in the Army / Marines doesn't matter your MOS your are a Soldier first, dont hate on those who protect give there lives no matter what branch service they choose

[kingbob3009]

[NoobSnoopy]

Coast quard dosent ''fight'' you jackass -.-

[res1233]

Also keep in mind that women have less endurance than men do, this isn't sexist, it's biology, so if the marines think there's a chance someone may have to be off base for an extended period of time, can you honestly say a woman is going to perform to the same standard as men? It isn't fair, but that's how god made the world, either live with it or be mad at god.

[DeathbyPianos]

LOOK HERE

SMILE

WAIT FOR FLASH!!!

and no offense I love marines but the reason the Marines will be gurading the streets of heaven is because they all die before the others.....

[metalmaniacforever]

There is no point in talkin shit about a military service. It's quite immature. Each individual branch provides their own type of defence. Im a grunt at heart so i'd say USMC is better but we all need each other. get over it

[Lakaior]

well said

[dragonprayer88]

I love this video but they should come down to Topeka, KS and sit in on one of Gunner Kelly's classes at Topeka High School.

[dragonprayer88]

The Marines are one of the best part of the Military we have. fuck the pussy ass coast guard.

[ElSentinel]

Pussy ass coast guard? I would love to see you go out into the middle of the ocean during a hurricane. The USCG are America's 1st line of defense against terrorism on the coasts. Don't bash our service men/women punk, no matter how you feel.

[swflprof]

Not to mention the USCG members who serve side by side with Marines today and through the years. USCG, USN, and USMC serve and fight side by side.

[littlej672]

@swflprof im joing the navy i want to go to the naval acadamy

[swflprof]

@littlej672 The Naval Academy graduates both Navy and Marine officers. Best of luck in your quests.

[th4Guy77]

@swflprof actually in the marines u start from the bottom, they dont do meritorious promotions

[swflprof]

@th4Guy77 No idea where this came from, but as a Marine I can tell you that the Marine Corps does have meritorious promotions through the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. For reference read MARADMIN MAR 124/10 Dated March 2010 INCREASED MERITORIOUS PROMOTIONS FOR FY10 AND SPECIAL MERITORIOUS PROMOTION AUTHORITY FOR 03XX

[th4Guy77]

@swflprof i meant for officers, they told me u cant graduate from the naval academy and be a 2nd lt

[swflprof]

@th4Guy77 You may want to check directly with the USNA since they do graduate USMC 2nd Lt slots. You have to qualify, be screened, and then offered the USMC slots. Just FYI, sometimes USNA graduates 2nd LT who go Army or Air Force.

[th4Guy77]

@swflprof i see, i guess my CO in rotc was wrong after al

[nikolauskopernikus]

Sucks a little bit... in Austria, when we talk about Montezuma, it means severe diarrhea.... Montezumas Revenge!

[swflprof]

@nikolauskopernikus Montezuma's revenge means the same to us.

In the Marine's Hymn it refers to the Battle of Chapultepec, and the taking of Chapultepec Castle that was also known as "The Halls of Montezuma" during the Mexican-American war 1847. According to USMC lore the red stripe on NCO and Officers uniform trousers has come to be referred as a Blood Stripe in honor of the NCOs and Officers killed during that battle.

[xxblksabbathxx]

@swflprof exactly right about the stripe

[fng1966]

@nikolauskopernikus Austria the land of Hitler - It took the US 101st Airborne

and thousand of allied troops to give Austria its freedom back

By the way if the US military wasn't there You would be answerin to Moscow

From the end of WW2 til 1990 it was the US military that kept europe free

But you do have a beautiful country - and many of my freinds who seved in Germany in the 60's and still today enjoy visiting and sightseeing and hosiptality and the way that they were treated

[spymode1]

@ElSentinel yeah but when the coast guard cant go far enough out to water its the air force they call. Every service relies on the other. I wanted to USAF but i dont want to be at a desk or at an outpost. I want to fight and not wait 2 years to do it. (Pj school is close to 2 years)

[Dogmeat1950]

Ya II don't ever make fun of the USCG, only 1 person has ever gotten the Medal of Honor in the USCG and he died saving Marines.

[BONJ97]

@ElSentinel not dissin the USCG but thanks to the Marines there is NO terrorism on the coasts of our great nation

[sarsfieldusmc]

@dragonprayer88 the coast gaurd is awsome

[bearnesauce]

they fought in vietnam serching vietcong boats for arms dont bash the coast guard it runs in my blood

[CELIBERICO]

your a Marine? Marines conduct themselves like that? common.......

[Jpzereal]

The streets of heaven will be guarded by United States Marines.

Of this I have no doubt.

[USNSeels]

[WindowMaker4444]

@ that fat bitch chgo

my MOS contract for the Marines clearly states Males only

you're probably only on the field if you're going to suck dick so yay paper bags all around

[jfortier06]

@WindowMaker4444 why do you have to turn it around to someone sucking dick? you can't handle the fact that at times a woman can do some of the same things that a man can? or is it the fact that you can't seem to get around the fact that chgo can prove you wrong every step of the way. yes your contact might say males only but that is because it is a male only MOS. females are now attached every step of the way now.and no it's not to satisfy a mans needs, female soldiers are just as valued as men

[Johnsnyder666]

[janlapczyk]

The best men I ever worked under, or commanded, were all former Marines. The Marines are called the 'mens department of the Navy' for a reason. Some people search their entire lives trying to find a way to make a difference in the world... Marines don't have that kind of problem. Semper Fi, and may God bless and protect those overseas, protecting our rights, here on our soil!

[progressiverebel]

The best men I ever knew served. Navy, AF, Army,Marines. One Navy Com I know died in a tunnel, another had two Patrol Boats shot out under him. One AF guy I knew of died when his parachute failed to open. One Navy Seal I knew of drowned alone in the middle of the night another Navy Seal I knew took his 7th Purple Heart 110 ft down when NVA mortars killed his buddy and blew out his ears off Danang. My dad's patrol vessel went down off Oregon coast in a storm.All hands died.Too much brag.

[chgosatrap]

I wouldn't degrade women that way. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't use human terms for any terrorist, Muslim or otherwise.

[NDLlama1]

Women aren't allowed in combat arms... so 'his' is more appropriate.

[chgosatrap]

Actually, we Women Marines do go into combat now. Please try to catch up.

[NDLlama1]

Again, women are not allowed to have combat MOS's. Noncombat MOS's do occasionally see combat, but it is rare and not intended.

[215jami]

@chgosatrap I have raided the 21 area only once and she surendored !

[theyiddish]

Translation: I've never seen any combat outside of Modern Warfare 2, NO GURLZ ALOOED.

[NDLlama1]

Our UAV is online!

[swflprof]

@NDLlama1 I sincerely hope you never meet the families of our Women Marines Killed in Combat and tell them their WMs were not there. You are talking about a federal law that prohibits women in combat MOS. In reality they ARE right in the thick of it. A Marine is Marine!

[NDLlama1]

I specifically stated they on rare occasion, females do see combat. No where did I make any comment that was disrespectful to women.

And I know that it in no way applies to all female marines, however the majority of the ones that I personally had worked with, were complete shitbags. They did less work, and were less disciplined than the male marines, but still got higher pro/cons simply because they were female. The command seemed afraid of looking sexist against women, and instead gave-

[NDLlama1]

Them less responsibility, and way more lenience. I did not dislike them because they were female, but because they were treated with lower standards, and it showed.

Again, I know that not all female marines are like that, and have met some extremely hard-working ones, but the average that I had encountered, was less than impressive.

And of course, I have absolutely nothing but respect for any one who has died serving the Corp.

[sarsfieldusmc]

females arnt allowed in infantry, but they are embedded with infantry platoons through the lioness program

[chgosatrap]

@swflprof

I am a Woman Marine from 1973-1976. Wish NDL would meet me in an alley. Any alley.

[jfortier06]

wtf? people sayin that the marines clean up? who do u think goes first?

[GrayWolf210]

Marines are the strongest fighting force this world has ever seen. They are out gunned by every other armed force and still kick butt. This shows that they are and will always be the elite of this country and this world.

[xsilentrainx]

no the navy is in terms of fire power. not to disrespect the marines but usually the marines clean up whats left after the AF and the navy or even the artillery division bomb the fuck out of an area.

[GrayWolf210]

Marine Corps are an advance force AF bombs targets that the Marines pre-set. Artillery is called to soften enemy targets. Marines use there own artillery. Marines are not a branch their a breed. Semper Fi.

[guynamedsloth]

The Navy is nothing but a Marine Transport Division... fucking squids. The USMC has its own attack and air superiority air wings. The Navy has more firepower yes... if you are within striking distance of a carrier which some targets will not be. Then it either goes to the AF or Marine Aviation. and if ANYONE is a clean up force is the Army...

[jf32988]

I wouldn't call it clean up. The Navy and AF do that to create minimum ground threat preventing lives from being lost.

All branches work together, there is no best or worst branch.

besides the navy seals...

[metalhead192]

marines are the first fighting force then the navy seals go get them out lookin like heros while the real heros go in first get shot up and march out
