@callum1131 ive seen the british and they r good but the us marines silent drill is way better. different opinions. I watched a video bout silent drills and they say that the us marines r the best in the world. Just saying
@heimuli360 Fair comment, but British drill just looks better and more together, whereas US drill with all their rifle throwing doesnt look very good and organised which is exactly what drill should be.
For people saying this is no way to handle a rifle the rifles they use usually have no bolt and have barrels plugged are army cadet drill rifles the barrels are welded shut so there's no way they can fire
@411lee Asides the fact they DO have bolts, and one can see them, what would be the safety point of taking the bolt away after the barrel has been plugged or welded? Is that part of "military wisdom"?
@RamRam956 by that do you mean that they are handling it like its a broomstick ?? because those guns will not go off i do belive that they are on safe lock ... and yes it is true many people do not take firearms seriously.
@RamRam956 Let's see you do it!! Do you realize how many hours they spend training? They are awsome. Also they are using fully funtional rifles. We have our own drill team in the USCG. Not as good looking in uniform, however we have one. Besides most firearm injuries happen due to the lake of knowlage of the weapon.
@quincey123 I couldn't care less to be able to do it... I'd prefer not to be transformed into an automated, nopn-thinking puppet., The "lake"??!!! Which one of the Great Lakes, or of the "Finger Lakes"??!!!
@nextlifearotti Yeah, a lot of it... a waste of time & money. Those youngsters still have to be fed, clothed, lodged and kept while they play at this puppetry pap.
Over the years, I have developed a deep respect for the USMC, as well as our other Armed Forces. Did you know that only 1% of our entire population consists of those men and women currently in our combined armed forces? Let's pray that they come home safely to their families and friends. For those of you who hate war, I'm among you, but we still have to stand by this country we live in and keep in mind these men and women are there to keep the bell of freedom ringing. Don't cross me!!!
@goldenstarpcfl Friend, you might not believe me in consideration of everything I've expressed about this USMC Silent Drill Platoon in the comments to another video of this klind - but I totally agree with you in your prayers and attitude about this. Let's just not mix up combat prowess with the capacity to act like rifle.spinning marjorette automatons. Gheorghij .
@Gheorgyi Thank you for your kind and considerate response. I have 2 sons (20 & 21 yrs old) who were in the MCJROTC throughout their 4 years of high school. It taught them discipline, teamwork and self-respect. Of course, I don't want to see them having to go off to a strange land and fight in a war where it seems no peaceful end will result. They're all I have left in my life that's dear to me.

Why did the US military try to save wounded Taliban fighters by bringing them to a medical center? Why is it official policy to treat all wounded from American operations?
@PTurchan1 It's part of something called "the Geneva Convention", that the USA adhered to and signed with other nations. It's a principle armed forces of civilized countries abide by, uncivilized barbarians like the talibans don't.. On the contrary, they delect in torturing. Doctors and other health personnelò (at least those of Western countries) who've worked in military field hospitals during wartime know it very well.
Really? Seen the news last night and it said "heavy fighting" sooo.. Wonder how many innocents the terrorist Marines have murdered? And i wouldnt be so shocked if they did kick them out after all you cowards use planes and tanks etc
I know that there were civilian casualties, which is an unfortunate reality when you are fighting in densely populated areas. Using plane and tanks is not being cowardly, it is being strategic - wouldn't the Taliban use them if they had them?
You also failed to explain how the Taliban is waging a more successful campaign: what is their killed/dead ratio?
You call the Taliban cowards your cowards aswell using them. Well nobody knows for sure how many they have lost. In every attack you's do you's kill innocent people (wouldnt expect anything else from terrorists anyway) anyway example Vietnam War..Look at the K/D ratio and who won? America is for shit.
Terrorists intentionally target civilians, the military does not. If someone in the military intentionally harms a civilian, they will be charged.

this is so cool i wish i could do this! im in Leadership Development Corps or LDC i can flip the rifle cuz im on drill team but i cant do this its way to hard. ima try tho lol!! XD
y would u want to do this for 2 yrs straight. its cool but not for me, i'm infantry through and through, fallujah 2005-2006 and kabul 2008-2009!!! there are two types of marines, a marine and a true marine. true marines are those tested in battle!!! oohrahh
I'm not disrespecting them or anything. i think they're pretty cool and the best drill team ever like ever. its just for me i couldn't do that for 2 yrs. i'm not a ceremonial type of guy. i didn't join the marines to look pretty or do drill. i joined to serve my country by serving in combat. props to them though. i hear that they do have it tough b/c when u first start out its boot all over again
@numyej You know...I am not saying you would not know or anything...but to be in the Silent Drill Platoon..you have to be infantry...so technically...they are set to fight
@synysterlud Actually you don"t have to be an 03-anything to be in the Silent Drill Platoon. You have to meet their stringent height/weight standards for uniformities sake. Other than that you only need to be a Marine.
@999ludcs72 I will find out about this cause I asked a Drill Team member and he said you do have to meet the height/weight standards and you have to be an 03..so im not sure...ill ask my recruiter and get back with the info. I am not saying your all wrong and stuff, but I like to have everything correct
They are not in the Fleet Marine Force while they are in the Silent Drill Team. They still train like every other infantry platoon on top of the exhaustive drill training, but while they are there they are assigned to Marine Barracks, 8th and I, Washington, D.C. under the overarching Headquarters, Marine Corps. It's like the Marine Band, they aren't attached to any specific combat unit because they represent and support the entire Marine Corps.
no, i wasnt talking about the silent drill platoon : P thanx for all the well placed info tho lol. it was a comment towards a person dissing them on here,
@numyej That sucks you think there are only 2 kinds of Marines man. Well I will let you tell that to the numerous Marines I have pulled out of some ugly situations who shook my hand and thanked me for being "the man in the window" If you dont know what that means then I gues you havent been as tried as you think you have. Yes I swing with the wing man. Aircrew
It is a fact I have watched USMC SDP (Silent Drill Plaoon) videos for the 29th time and this shit never gets old. Ooo fukin rahh keep killin and keep winnin. Semper Fidelis; Semper fi Do or Die
Gah! You people and your controversies! C : I think that the dedication, the precision, and the skill of these people is amazing. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should have respect for these people.
The comments on this page are very funny... if you think about it....basically you guys are like saying to protect against nuclear weapons we should have a nuclear weapon so just in case they do launch it...we can destroy them as well....think about it for a bit...
that's called Mutually assured destruction. and it kept us safe against the Soviets. who had 20000 missiles pointed at us... dirty looks and harsh words don't stop missiles. only the assurance that you will die as well if you pull the trigger
Our continued reckless spending after they collapsed on socialist and unneeded military programs and unconstitutional wars funded by fiat money controlled by the Fed is the reason for this crisis.
I would largely agree with you except I would see it as a matter of, rather than socialist or capitalist programs, centrally-planned war economies of either complexion. Make war no more...
The Soviet Unions was in Afghanistan is what collapsed their economy. Which is partially why I do not support our continued operations in that country. Further more the Soviet Union recently said they would allow the US military to use their airspace for resupply missions in Afghanistan. It was praised as a major breakthrough... I suspect the Soviets know in doing so they were helping us destroy ourselves, economically anyway.
They no longer are called the Soviets, after Afghanistan bankrupted the USSR, they changed its name. Which is what will happen to USA, if your parallelism is correct.
You type like a uneducated fuck so i dont even know why i even bother arguing with a fucking idiot like you. You trying to say you made the p90.....LMFAO and your trying to say we would lose iraq if the gun wasent invented. Im sorry we have better guns. Mp5,M16,M4,all sorts of guns to kill terriorst and faggots like you. You think your all that come fuck with America big boy. Will send the boy scouts to come fuck your pussy country up.
Foley you are a fucking moron. First off its Special Air Service so get it right if you 're trying to act liek you know their trainning(WHICH YOU DONT) Maybe American troops are friendly to you cuase they already know you bad mouth them once your out of sight. And no they do not have better equipement everyone knows Americans have the best. What people think British have better is their trainning. Most brits agree we have better equipment, they tend to think they have better trainning.
saying that though i do think this drill team is excellent i saw them at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo several years ago and would love to see them back
I don't think that precision marching, drilling or dancing (as in the case of the Russians) are things that the american military excel in. We might be too wet behind the ears !
Drills to kills? Are you supporting the yanks by any chance? Can I remind you of how many of the Brits the US army killed recently? A rather significant number, so whats the the point learning to do funny drill tricks with a rifle if you can't shot it properly!
There is a video of the yank marines doing a friendly course against the Chinese equilivant. Needles to say the chinese beat them hands down. American's think their Marines are superheros! Yet without their technology they would be so lost
got to admit yes the brittish are better i'm from beglium and i'm a re-enactor id do brittish SAS (special air force) and 10° commandos they are way more disiplined (or hell how you need to write it :p) and way more friendly then americans better equipment , weapens etc etc etc
so amerika might be good but still brittish are better ^^ and if the americans didnt have de P90 assault sub machine gun wich i made in belgium :p they would lose everything they are now in irak for what ? NOTHING
I saw these guys do this at the Edinburgh Tatoo not once but twice I think around the late 60s early 70s I am so pleased to find this video. GO MARINES!
what i love about the USMC silent drill platoon is that theres really not that much hardcore spinning, its the precision that just blows me away. amazing
My best friend is joining the marines in June and my other really good friend just graduated boot camp and Im so proud of both of them but I miss them so much and always will!
If you are a marine that would explain your lack of mastery of the English language, sorry there grunt, I was being sarcastic if you didn't understand. If you have seen them multiple times you'd understand how amazing they are...
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Queen's Colour Squadron is not silent drill. And why do you brits feel the need to constantly measure pricks? Can't you just enjoy a US military video without mouthing off about your own military? I'm pretty sure you couldn't do this drill, so why not give them the benefit of the doubt? And your sentence has several run ons and fragments. Not what I'd expect from someone with a self proclaimed mastery of the English language.
Ironic that people feel the need to thump chests over the British Army, particularly given the Economist piece a couple of weeks ago that described the Britain as losing its nerve militarily.
They might have been able to thump their chests 20 years ago, but not so much to day. Your average US unit is considerably better funded and has so much more experience than your average British unit that any comparison that is favorable to the British is downright laughable. The Royal Navy's capabilities have been halved, and the RAF would rather spend billions on Eurofighters they can't afford then give their pilots proper training for CAS.
Please give me a quote and tell me where I proclaimed myself to be a master of English. The Queen's colour squadron is silent drill, beside the command to quick march it is silent.
"If you are a marine that would explain your lack of mastery of the English language" ....And the Queen's Color squadron drills to music. So I wouldn't exactly call that silent.
the marines slap their rifles, hardly silent to me, that quote proves nothing. It does not prove I have a " self proclaimed mastery of the English language. "
Keep trying there, you'll learn to read soon enough,
Are you special? Do you not know that when they mean silent drill they mean that not a word of command is uttered or any music played. When engaging in conversation, it helps if you know what the hell you're talking about.
Sad to see our hard earned taxpayer money funding this circus show.

@999ludcs72 I will find out about this cause I asked a Drill Team member and he said you do have to meet the height/weight standards and you have to be an 03..so im not sure...ill ask my recruiter and get back with the info. I am not saying your all wrong and stuff, but I like to have everything correct

They are not in the Fleet Marine Force while they are in the Silent Drill Team. They still train like every other infantry platoon on top of the exhaustive drill training, but while they are there they are assigned to Marine Barracks, 8th and I, Washington, D.C. under the overarching Headquarters, Marine Corps. It's like the Marine Band, they aren't attached to any specific combat unit because they represent and support the entire Marine Corps.

@numyej That sucks you think there are only 2 kinds of Marines man. Well I will let you tell that to the numerous Marines I have pulled out of some ugly situations who shook my hand and thanked me for being "the man in the window" If you dont know what that means then I gues you havent been as tried as you think you have. Yes I swing with the wing man. Aircrew

Yeah, M.A.D. was its acronym. And it collapsed the Soviet economy shortly before collapsing yours! Feel like you won???
deadkennedys555 2 years ago
YES, I feel we won - 1st.
Our continued reckless spending after they collapsed on socialist and unneeded military programs and unconstitutional wars funded by fiat money controlled by the Fed is the reason for this crisis.
jjmdirector 2 years ago
I would largely agree with you except I would see it as a matter of, rather than socialist or capitalist programs, centrally-planned war economies of either complexion. Make war no more...
deadkennedys555 2 years ago
The Soviet Unions was in Afghanistan is what collapsed their economy. Which is partially why I do not support our continued operations in that country. Further more the Soviet Union recently said they would allow the US military to use their airspace for resupply missions in Afghanistan. It was praised as a major breakthrough... I suspect the Soviets know in doing so they were helping us destroy ourselves, economically anyway.

They no longer are called the Soviets, after Afghanistan bankrupted the USSR, they changed its name. Which is what will happen to USA, if your parallelism is correct.

And no they do not have better equipement everyone knows Americans have the best. What people think British have better is their trainning. Most brits agree we have better equipment, they tend to think they have better trainning.

got to admit yes the brittish are better i'm from beglium and i'm a re-enactor id do brittish SAS (special air force) and 10° commandos they are way more disiplined (or hell how you need to write it :p) and way more friendly then americans better equipment , weapens etc etc etc
so amerika might be good but still brittish are better ^^ and if the americans didnt have de P90 assault sub machine gun wich i made in belgium :p they would lose everything they are now in irak for what ? NOTHING

If you are a marine that would explain your lack of mastery of the English language, sorry there grunt, I was being sarcastic if you didn't understand. If you have seen them multiple times you'd understand how amazing they are...
justalilrandom 3 years ago
Correct me if I'm wrong but the Queen's Colour Squadron is not silent drill. And why do you brits feel the need to constantly measure pricks? Can't you just enjoy a US military video without mouthing off about your own military? I'm pretty sure you couldn't do this drill, so why not give them the benefit of the doubt? And your sentence has several run ons and fragments. Not what I'd expect from someone with a self proclaimed mastery of the English language.
m60jack 2 years ago 2
Ironic that people feel the need to thump chests over the British Army, particularly given the Economist piece a couple of weeks ago that described the Britain as losing its nerve militarily.
SomAvePizza 2 years ago
They might have been able to thump their chests 20 years ago, but not so much to day. Your average US unit is considerably better funded and has so much more experience than your average British unit that any comparison that is favorable to the British is downright laughable. The Royal Navy's capabilities have been halved, and the RAF would rather spend billions on Eurofighters they can't afford then give their pilots proper training for CAS.
ClearWoodStables 2 years ago
Please give me a quote and tell me where I proclaimed myself to be a master of English. The Queen's colour squadron is silent drill, beside the command to quick march it is silent.
justalilrandom 2 years ago
"If you are a marine that would explain your lack of mastery of the English language" ....And the Queen's Color squadron drills to music. So I wouldn't exactly call that silent.
m60jack 2 years ago
the marines slap their rifles, hardly silent to me, that quote proves nothing. It does not prove I have a " self proclaimed mastery of the English language. "
Keep trying there, you'll learn to read soon enough,
justalilrandom 2 years ago
Are you special? Do you not know that when they mean silent drill they mean that not a word of command is uttered or any music played. When engaging in conversation, it helps if you know what the hell you're talking about.
