  • The Royal Marines were born by copying the soldiers of the sea in Venice ...Why do not you write to wikipedia??????

    You have also copied the motto!......

    You should make more honor to the "soldiers of the sea of Venice ".... but you do not even name them!!

    You English and your American friends do not deserve the name of "FANTI DEL MAR" !

    Shame !!!!!!

  • @andryx777 Shut the fuck up, schettino.

  • @The1stPoster Anglo-Saxon troglodytes....you did not know in writing when Italy was Caesar, Virgil and Augustus ...

    ......you did not know fighting, in a time where in Italy, the legions marched under the arch of triumph

    Shame!

  • @andryx777 yeah the legions got their fuckin arses kicked by barbarians...

  • @DrinkToIreland You shut up, Scottish........for centuries, you are slaves of the British !!!!

    Shame!!!!

  • @andryx777 blocked

    Anglo-Saxon inferior !!!!...

    Shame!

  • @InstrumentalHipHop11 the "privilege" of receiving your messages? huh i think not lad. More like the couldn't give less of a shit about it...

  • @DrinkToIreland Anglo saxon are rude and dishonorable...Always use vulgar and obscene words....you are not noble.

  • @InstrumentalHipHop11 I'm not English... my family is Scottish. And I, and my family, love our English friends dearly as well as the welsh. So gtfo and fuck off

  • @DrinkToIreland Your family is Scottish slave of the English....rude, ignorant, vulgar caveman........

  • @andryx777 omg,someone who doesnt know there back side from the elbow .boot necks wernt from venice m8 & you need to read real stuff not comics

  • Indeed Fuck off Hitler. But I was talking of those poor mislead 17 year old boys who where the core of the Waffen SS Hitlerjugend Panzerdivision. They fought like demons during the battle for Caen whch should have been conquered the first day of the Normandy Invasion. Instead it took the American, Canadian,and English Army a full month and they had supreme reign of the air. It says a little bit of the fighting spirit of these poor boys doe,nt it. And what was it all good for in the end???

  • why dont you Yanks and Brits declare war upon each other, and see who wins. Please leave the European continent out of it, and certainly Gremany, because then the outcome is allready known. This American against UK pissingcontests on You Tube are indeed a laugh. There,s only one professional army in the world, but they are very reluctant to do anything concidering history, and that,s the German Army.

  • @zweijntje Oh shut up, seriously just shut up...

  • @zweijntje You do realize that virtually many, if not all, of the Western European nations maintain professional armies, no? By the way, the Bundeswehr is a mixture of conscripts and professional soldiers, with the former well on way to being phased out as conscription was abolished this year.

  • @zweijntje

    Fuck off Hitler

  • @zweijntje It wasnt the gernans that fought in WW2, it was the nazis

  • Comment removed

  • @StrangerYouKnow You don't get it...

  • Choose life, yeah, join the commando,s, go to foreign countries, meet all kinds of nice people and kill them.

  • AAAHHHH YEAAAAHHH!!!

  • I'm from eastern europe, everybody hates american's attitude here too, at best they think they are ignorant, selfish and fake. But i think it's a mistake to generalize the whole american nation like that, there is still good stuff in america, but they've got to work hard on their attitude towards the whole world, just my opinion.

  • @Fregos23 Thank you I'm sure if others saw that they would appreciate it too. It can be very irritating to be generalized with the fat beer drinking loudmouth southern idiot.

  • @DeSanto127 You are welcome, i was just saying my opinion, and i do hope people stop insulting and hating eachother for their flaws, but start working together to make a better world. Have a nice day.

  • @Fregos23 where are you from ?

  • @B1LLVANILYBOY Moldova

  • @Fregos23 I'm from Greece .

  • @B1LLVANILYBOY nice to meet you son of Herodot :) (he is greek right?, if not i'm sorry for the mistake), how is your country doing nowadays, i heard you still haven't solved that financial problem, how are people taking it, can you see any light at the end of the tunnel, or it's just as usual?

  • @Fregos23 yeah you're 100 % CORRECT my friend , people are tired they can't keep up with the goverments pace anymore . 1.000.000 people are without jobs , as for the tunnel there is some light in the tunnel but it's far far away . if people get smart and stop being selfish and creedy then we will get out of the tunnel in less than 10 years

  • Comment removed

  • @Fregos23 not the people, the politics :P

  • @Romansssz Well, if you would stand up against them, it would be different, but most don't care, or are too afraid, so it is the people, plus you've got more means than us (my country) to obtain what you want (what the people want). In our country there is no court of law, hell, there is no law at all!

  • @Fregos23 Well if you watch news, you can see that Americans love to riot, and there are lot of psychos that abuse their rights here in America... I think some people don't deserve free rights, and others (like your country maybe) Do need it , because of injustice

  • @Romansssz True, dumb people don't need all rights, just the basics, to protect them and to control them, and that what your leaders think of you, when they make choices for you, so you need to show them that you can stand up for yourselves, and think for yourselves. The reality is that nothing is for free, so if you want something, go and get it, don't expect them to give it for free, there is no moral right in the natural world, it;s just an invention of our mind.

  • @54321BUSTDANUTS Ok, first of all; YouTube isn't a "forum". Secondly, yeah we may use things developed by Americans, but you use inventions developed by British people each and every day! And I have the God given fucking right to say what I want, when I want, where I want. So with regards, go fuck yourself. As for the CNN poll, doesn't that tell you something? NO ONE likes America, you're a bunch of arrogant ego tripping arseholes. Without Great Britain mate, you're on your own...

  • Comment removed

  • I'M SO FUCKING READY

  • This gets me so freaking pumped up....**on the floor doing pushups**

  • Great!

  • Comment removed

  • @jonobonnowonno1 It is Ewan Mcgregor... sigh....

  • Cool video mix dude!

  • Hey, let's calm the fuck down here Marines. There is no need for this pointless fight in the comments section. The US and UK are both great countries. And yes America is in an asston of financial trouble, because of lazy fatasses.

  • god bless the UK/US alliance. when the world ends. mother england and her son AMERICA will prevail. lets stop the bullshit rivalry (im guilty). Devil dogs and brits. I love you u both. 2nd Mp Bn 2nd fssg. 2 Combat tours in iraq. not trolling for for thumbs up so dont like this. If u served then we know our pain. the world hates us or disagrees with us but who cares. we've been runnin this shit for a while and so far so good. RED, WHITE AND BLUE. US/UK, Aussies, Canadians, South Africa, and NZ!!

  • Qua Patet Orbis!

  • I think everyone here whos hating should just go and play Modern Warfare 3 and we can all be frineds because if you ask me we BOTH are the worlds biggest badasses, much respect to the British and American power that dominates the world today. nobody would dare piss us off because if they did they would have SEALS, SAS, Delta, and everyone else knocking on their dorr for an ass whipping, God Bless America and Long Live the Queen !

  • Royal Marine Commandos are the best of the best!!!

  • Damn you brits making beast commercials. lol jk. Hey, we're all friends here for my fellow Americans trying to out prove themselves. America and Britain will always be allies at arms, and nothin's going to change that.

  • the british have a long history of supporting everyone from native american indians, freed slaves and everyone who opposed the US to serve within its ranks

    We atleast kept things white for the most of our history.

    you still allow asians like the napalese to wear your country's uniform

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 You racist fuck, If they fight for our country THEN THEY ARE PART OF OUR COUNTRY. Go back under the rock that you crawled out of.

  • @caddyking444 yeah lol even poor mexicans and niggers make it.

  • @Casadosmongos

    a 1/4 of the royal navy was always irish for centuries, so what does that say about your country?

    40,000 sailors deserted after the war of 1812 to become US citizens.

    During the mexican american war, british citizens actually fought beside mexicans to bring the US down...so what does that say?

    The british crown was the first to allow colonial slaves to serve within its ranks and to wear the redcoat, before George Washington would ever allow the blue coat on a slave

  • @USMarineRifleman0311, your proud of the USA, yet you use weapons designed and made by other countries, your carriers use the British made harrier jump jet, your navy seals use the British designed AS50 sniper rifle, your special forces are trained by the British SAS. fact is, our guys fight for there allies and for the freedom of a country, yours fight for greed of oil and if it gets attacked. stop starting wars and put your money into something productive like fixing your economy.

  • @N1Legion

    because we bought the last of your harriers. hell in 1775, it was a british brown bess that fired the first shot against a british soldier. The USN Seals carry what is standard in the USN and USMC, the AS50 is non standard. The Barret is still the SASR rifle of the USN/USM. The claim that we are trained by foreigners is ludicrous. That goes against OPSEC. WE TRAIN WITH others. Currently RMCs are allowed to train at 29 Palms to get to know our SOPs so we can operate better in Astan

  • @N1Legion

    The whole of Europe is in a shitty economy. The reason the US is in the middle east is a direct british mistake for leaving that region up for grabs by withdrawing from it in the 70s and 80s. The reason for the Gulf war was to strengthen western interests there and protect them from the communists. Same with the Suez canal crisis.

    Current wars are a direct reply to the incapability of the brits to hold their ground in the middle east during the cold war.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , america has a massive debt, because you spend trillions on weapon tech you don't use, also stop getting your info from wiki, it's full of shit alot like you. so i would say goodbye, but while our government's may be allies, our people hate you and so do i.

  • @N1Legion

    hey thanks for the debate and the argument you made and didnt back up.

    Being hated is a sign of being the top dog. Everyone hated UK back in the 1700s, now its our turn.

    2 European presidents are resigning today and tommorow because their countries have plunged into massive depressions and youre telling us?

    Have fun bailing out Europe

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , have fun going into crisis, because america is in more shit than the rest of us, UK has a AAA rating, america does not.

  • @N1Legion

    UK is also the size of Uganda

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , England brought the world to it's knees, america has not. for a small country we pack alot of punch and have a lot of influence.

  • @N1Legion

    influence? If the Argentinians decided to take Falklands now, you couldnt do shit to take it back, since your navy is nearly non existant.

    USA is trying real hard to jump start the economy. Its kinda hard having imbeciles like british petroleum killing off marine life in the Gulf and thus messing with livelyhoods of the fishermen all along the coastline.

    Remind me who unfucked that mess and who paid the price for british incompetence.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , I believe your military said taking the falklands back was a military impossibility, yet we did it, you under estimate the British army, not only are we trained better than you, we understand war alot better that you do. it's not about who has the most fire power. also in iraq, were paying for american incompetence, how many of our troops have you killed with your so called "friendly fire" because your not trained properly. too many tosser

  • @N1Legion

    a british officer on the scene in San Juan 1898 said Teddy Roosevelt would fail in his charge....and so the fuck what.

    You understand war better than us? You lost to us twice, you lost to the boers...during the 2nd boer war 1/2 of the victories were Boer...During the zulu war a 3rd world stoneage army of spear chuckers had a 1/3 success rate over you. During WW1, you were defeated by outnumbered Turk and German forces and you say you're better???

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , Let's see, we had an empire, can't have an empire if you don't win battles which we did, second, america has never won a war on it's own. so yes were better than you. Anyway, im bored of typing to your crappy wikipedia responses. so fuck off. And as this is a video on our royal marine commandos, there's no place for your retarded yank comments. so piss off and troll your own countrys military videos wanker.

  • @N1Legion

    Id like to note that I have never insulted you personally, but every one of your comments is directed directly at me. This is called ad hominem...Not one of your replies has been directly at the argument.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , Don't care, fuck off and stop trolling british army videos yank.

  • @N1Legion

    dont care? stop being childish in your replies then. Im easy to ignore, but seeing as how youre equally the zealot I am...its your own problem, dont bitch to me

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 how is don't care being childish, don't care means i no longer care for your opinion. so, i don't care. piss off.

  • @N1Legion

    I surely hope you do better in school

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 your interests are accurate rifles and sharp bayonets, get a life loser. oh wait you don't have one seems you troll british videos and post shit from wikipedia which 99.99% of the time is wrong which is why it's no longer allowed to be used in schools as a resource for information.

  • @N1Legion

    I counted about 20 or so insults coming from you but not a single valid argument. Never have I insulted you directly either...

    An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it.[1] Ad hominem reasoning is normally described as a logical fallacy

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , stop copy and pasting shit from wikipedia you thick shit, seriously it's getting annoying.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 We kill our own people!? That's rich coming from a trigger happy American!! 1) You damn spastics are renouned for friendly fire, your special needs pilots bombed a British convoy even though they had GIANT British flags on top of the trucks. 2) You dumb fucks can't even rescue ONE hostage from rag heads in Afghan, yet our superior British forces can rescue 26 (yes, 26 I know it's hard for you to count past 5) from the Iranian Embassy with NO civilian causalities!

  • @DaveandNic4eva

    Let me reinstate what I tried telling this moron below.

    The first friendly fire incidents of the Iraq war were British. 3 counts of infantrymen killing one another in Basrah...A tank commander getting shot in the head and the only tank on tank incident where a turret was blown off and the whole crew killed. We've already had 2 cases of royal marines killing their own squad mates and uk engineers killing a squad of danes.

    Dont compare Basrah 2007 with some fucking embassy

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 Ok let's put things into perspective, ACCIDENTS happen during war! When adrenaline is in the system and soldiers are in "the moment", accidental impulse reactions can be deadly. UNLIKE dropping bombs on a signed convoy!!! From what I've read of your comments, you're suggesting that British Forces are poorly trained due to friendly fire incidents! That is complete shit! If that is the way you want to judge forces, then you bloody retards should be banned from theatre (war).

  • @DaveandNic4eva

    what part of it includes shooting a tank commander on top of a challenger tank?

    what part of it includes shooting the silhouette of what is undeniably a friendly tank?

    the only thing I cand stand is the british claim that they are better trained and all of this happy horseshit, despite seeing Iraqi army troops hold their own with minimal training.

    Militiamen at Bunker hill repulsed 3 waves of redcoats with no training at all...they only retreated because powder was low

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 LOL That's right, professional soldiers decided to murder their own colleagues for shits and giggles, right? You're laughable. I'm sure if I looked into how many friendly fire incidents you morons have committed it would be higher than all of the other nations involved in Afghan/Iraq combined. But wait, I couldn't find that out could I, because your government figures are all hidden probably. We can't have Hollywood show how the REAL US Forces operate now can we.

  • @DaveandNic4eva

    a nice google search on friendly fire shows 3 british incidents for every 1 american incident. We have never killed 400 brits in one peace side excercise as the royal navy did to the us army troops during Excercise Tiger.

    RAF carpet bombed their own troops in 5 different incidents from El Alamein to Burma. The USAF has once such case - Op Cobra. No US ship ever sunk another one...but the royal navy has a handful of such cases.

    watch?v=a9NwilII0ho

  • @DaveandNic4eva

    March 3 1945 is probably the most embarrasing day in the history of the RAF next to the strafing of HMS Hussar and Brittonmatt

    On march 3rd, the RAF sunk a German ship aboard which was 7.000 jews and 1,000 russian POWs

    The strafing of the HMS Hussar went on despite communications sent to the pilots that the ship was friendly.

    Survivors were silenced.

  • @DaveandNic4eva

    from my own experience, the times the Iraqi army fired upon us was covered up for diplomatic reasons, but our own behavior could never be hidden due to the BLU force tracker. Every round fired was documented.

    Every criticism of the Iraqis or Afghanis has not gone unpunished in the same sense. We've had many generals fired just because they spoke their minds on the truth of the situation.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 I see it's taken you a while to reply, Wikipedia can be a maze of information these days can't it! Pathetic. You seriously have a problem with British Forces don't you? Mind, I'm not surprised really because you've been brainwashed from an early age to think you're nation is the mightiest the world has ever seen...yet when reality smashed you in the face, you realised you're nothing more than poorly educated buffoons with a serious ego problem. The world laughs at you.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 here you are again FUCK OFF USMC are shit all they are good for is Friendly Fire 85 in one year ye good job USMC

  • @N1Legion

    as for friendly fires...It was the british who committed the first friendly fire of the war, when a british soldier in Basrah shot and killed a british tank commander. In a similar circumstance a fusilier was killed by a tanker when we fired upon his own armor. The only tank on tank friendly fire of the Iraq war in which another tanks turret was blown off was a British incident....also in Basrah.

    Al-Faw...UK engineers killed a royal marine Cpl John Cosby Basrah 2006...

  • @N1Legion

    seeing as how few troops the british have deployed to these wars and the rates of small arm level friendly fires theyve committed, says anything but something positive about their training.

    Degree of error and comm is acceptable, but most british killed in these incidents were from rifles and MGs.

    In Afghan there were already 2 cases of royal marines killing their own squad mates....No US Marine has done so to their own in Afghan

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 , 2002, four Canadian soldiers were killed and eight others injured when U.S. Air National Guard dropped a laser-guided 500 lb bomb from his F-16

    Pat Tillman, , was shot and killed by American fire in April 22, 2004

    USAF F-15 called in to support British ground forces in Afghanistan dropped a bomb on those forces. Three privates of the Royal Anglian Regiment, were killed and two others were severely injured

    American support, fucking useless. so fuck off

  • @N1Legion

    is that all you have? Because the 400 families of American servicemen that lost their sons during Excercise Tiger due to fire from the HMS Hawkins on Apr 28 1944 still want an explanation from the british government.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 british petroleum isn't british in anything more than name these days.

  • OOHRAH from a US Marine

  • Thats pretty badass, and this is coming from a future US Marine.

  • @CrazedNovaProduction I love the term "Future US Marine" You do realize that there's a 90% chance you won't make it good luck. Haha

  • @caddyking444 hey. you caddyking444, yeah you, you pretty little spitfuck, they got confidence to say that which is more than i can say for your preteen ass, and the attrition rate is 25% NOT 90% i suggest you get back to doing your math homework you queer little 6th grade freak. maybe if you listen in class you will learn to have a little confidence.

  • @searingthebrave Okay whatever helps you sleep at night but I know what I know and calling me a 6th grader is Ignorant when you know nothing about me. Not even worth arguing over.

  • I have to say this commercial is honestly and truely offensive. Join the Royal Marines or eat shit you waste of space!

  • jesus christ, I can't believe they make RM wear f**king high visibility jackets when firing anti-tank missiles! elf and safety nonsense

  • "I chose not to choose life, I choose death"

  • gay

  • @DisgorgeKILLusa3 shut the fuck up as a veteran and a person i think you are an asshole

  • @MasterGcam I shut the fuck up your' gay mouth bitch, this is shit like this is sparta. Cockjockey your movie are pure gay.

  • Lol I simply love the British acent! :D 

  • How come the bloody Swedes get 350,00 hits?

  • @Che870

    marines. not army. war is a crime anyway, no way to disguise it. soldiers, terrorists (freedom fighters or watever u wanna call em) commit crime because it is their job (or cause) if you dont like them dont come to their videos and act like a troll. go back to looking up child porn u forty year old pervert

  • Well here is another copy of US Marine Recon but still they r pretty sweet, SAS, Delta, SEALs, Royal Marines, SBS, SWCC, Marine Force Recon, Israeli Shayet 13, SASR, Green Beret the list goes on and on, y do we compare them they all do the same thing and help innocent civilians

  • whats the second song?

  • @crapshif speaking of your moma when you was born it seems she called you crap shit. which is what she thought you were when she squated down to have a shit and you popped out. for some bizzare reason you changed your name to crap shif. dude be proud of what you are crapshit. personally i would have called you stupid shit.

  • let the youth met on the stadium and university lecture halls , not on the battlefield

  • The army of zionists. 

  • @crapshif hahaha your poor deluded fool, you have no idea what i'm saying. yet you crawl out of your shit hole to condemn it hahaha you are hilarious in a pathetic kind of way. PS> douchebag i was in the army and a trained machine gunner so stick that barrel up your ass and i'd be happy to pull the trigger.

  • U.S. Marines+British Marines=A real bad day for our enemies

  • @TheARMAProductions I was talking about the Commandos m8 

  • well the writing was ubber lame retarded. he choose something else than life lol. therefore he chose death. lame. since death is 1 of satans names and all those who follow death receive it.

  • @halburd1 What are you on about?

  • @JohnSmithTheSecond it's bible analogy

  • @JohnSmithTheSecond just ignore the cunt, he obviously is "too intelligent" for us to understand

  • @halburd1 fuck off with your faggot talk

  • @jungledrumnbass4ever wow thats a mighty big magina you have. now run off fag and hang woth your ladyboys you shrivelled old cunt

  • @jungledrumnbass4ever your name should be jumbled dumb ass 4 ever

  • @halburd1 hahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahah­hahhahahhahhahahha..........ha­

  • @halburd1 in this video he refers to the marine core since its not a ordinary life style.

  • @5ie3c yes i understand that don't have a problem with it, just the way it was phrased, since your the only normal comment on here i will explain why U see he says buddy did'nt choose life but instead chose something else in this aspect he chose death. we only have 2 choices biblicaly. u choose life if not then u chose death. death is 1 of satan's names. because the way it's worded, biblically he's not choosing life but satan. satan's name is death because he's only 1 sentenced to death by god

  • @halburd1 shut up u bible bandit and show sum support

  • @jackwilkinson182 you stupid twat. i was in the army as a machine gunner. so you stfu up and show me some support. ya retard.

  • @halburd1 Yeah what are you going on about? He's saying(and dont hold me to it if Im wrong) but I think he's talking about doing something more extrordinary than living a regular/simple life.

  • @Iden326 yes that is the point he is trying to make, which i would have no problem with. but it falls down at 0:39 when he says " I choose not to choose life, I chose something else" simply put with that phrase in mind if U don't choose life then the only option left is choosing death, death is 1 of satan's names As he is the only entity currently condemned 2 death by god. if the phrase was as U put it, chose not an ordinary or simple life then that would be good & loose the satanic meaning then
