  • Why does this piece of art only have 132,811 views?

  • This is fantastic. Where did you find the source video? Best album of that year, period . . . I think the video does the album's honest reportage justice, for what that is worth.

  • Cracker expresses my American soul and experience... Keep rocking for the better forever! OR ELSE!!!! ;)

  • This is Cracker Soul.

  • Wow it makes so much more sense now. Good observation buddy.

  • Damn it I don't like it but it's so sticky I can't get it off my mind |(

  • I like the music lol

  • Awesome video! I was an Airborne Infantryman with the 504th PIR with the 82d Airborne Division. (2001-2005)

    From what I remember, the way we spelled "pogue," was just, "POG." Which to us, meant:

    P: Persons

    O: Other than a

    G: Grunt

    "Stirke Hold!"

  • Nice to see that the US Forces are good at the "squaddie shuffle" too, he he.

  • On behalf of all passengers on spaceship earth...

    We love you America and we love the American GI always!

  • AmErIcA Is ThE BeSt

  • agreed

  • LOL hardstyle shuffle at 2:22

  • also some of you were taken in by khmerdog. a very twisted and sick individual. get this, he is pretending to be an anti-american foreigner but all his posts refer back to US right wing extremist websites. if you think about this his only intent is to stoke hatred and division among americans. in particular among serviceman. i guess he wants to create another McVeigh or SLA (ex serviceman who turned on their countrymen). don't fall for this guy.

  • lol that guy was averaging like 350 youtube videos watched a day, he needs some fresh air

  • We remove comments when people are needlessly rude profane and hateful. also anyone who is "spoofing'" or posting under multiple identities.

    Some of you who did not do any of the above had your comments removed. Why? because you were understandably responding to some idiot posting ridiculous comments. Our view is that lets not even give the idiots the time of day.

  • lol nice song and vid

  • sweet ass song man, wish I had it in my ipod the last time I was over there

  • actually we already talked and now me and him are on good terms with one another. that was a little nosy of you though.

  • let them have there fun. they are savin your life and they just wanna mess around every once in a while

  • Great! I'm just a little ol' lady. Ya' made me LAUGH out LOUD! (please don't tell my kids, but I like the Cracker music..sshhh.

  • LOL, Thanks for your service

  • wow these douchebag redneck nuckleheads are defending your precious country...and youre boasting this video why?

  • ...because they win wars, and we like their sense of humor. It's spelled "knucklehead", by the way.

    Check out "Hadji Girl". Even funnier.

  • u r the enemy. if u r were an "insurgent" in iraq, i would gladly take care of u. lol. soldiers r people 2, and they deserve the same respect as everyone else (actually WAY more). im going to iraq next year, u lame-ass complainer. bye, bitch!!!!

  • Wake up and save your people before it is too late. Lies and deception my friend. Don't be fooled. Not to mention..save your soul..trickery my friend..your worst enemy..the nasty slime balls..they gain your trust..watch out or you might end up being in a situation where you have to fight Americans, and innocents, because sorry to let your down but our government is controlled by the intelligence agencies and they are as corrupt as shit and reliant on the drug trade. Aka the poppy fields..

  • alll yall come back safe 5/5*

  • good vid man,come back home safe

  • I agree completely

  • haha this is funy thx for serving our country

  • just got back from boot camp. this song means allot to me.

  • im thinking about joining do you like boot camp

  • The guy doing the head banging is very attractive...Thank you guys for risking your lifes you guys are amazen...I have the most respect for military men and women...

  • I love America. I hate the UNITED STATES corporation. It is not respecting common law. The declaration of independence, or the bill of rights. Or common sense for that matter. The UNITED STATES has what we call our military, and parts of it have some good intention, minimal in my opinion. Most are blinded by pride and rage. The real warriors are the civilian militia. All males able to fight to defend our women, children, and rights. Not some guys that make peaceful resolve impossible.

  • shadow government propped up by an international banking cartel nwo

  • Comment removed

  • @funknumber49

    Well they were lied to number one. I have family that has died over there. My question to you, and all of the people in our GOVERNMENTS military is what happens when the GOVERNMENT orders them to round up Americans, and strip them of their arms? And Americans start shooting back. Then it is ok when they go around kill us, dropping bombs on whole villages, and raping our women? And even bring in mercs and fucking Foreigners to help. We are in the middle east occupying for drugs.

  • You may be right about all that but that's got nothing to do with what this video is about. What this is about is a bunch of kids over there doing what they're told and risking their lives every day for some concept called America. Whether it exists anymore is irrelevant. They're fighting for it and they're doing with elan, courage, and attitude. They're living with danger every day and laughing at it. They have my respect and admiration. I only wish their lives weren't being wasted for nothing

  • Laugh. The government and our country are two opposite things. Our government, that the military and paramilitary is allowing to fuck over we the people. So our government can kiss my ass. Because they don't respect common law and haven't for over 100 years. They are corporate and do not give 2 shits about the welfare of the people. The bastards sold us out. And It is hard to talk out against them in an attempt to stop a civil war, without getting grouped as a liberal..etc. I feel betrayed.

  • that black dude was acting like an idiot i hope that is not ow they dance lol

  • what do you mean "they"? lol

  • Comment removed

  • That first guy is so hot.

  • "Massachusetts", and "had a lisp"? Sounds like Barney Frank lol.

  • People who argue over the branch of service they're in usually have some sort of insecurity complex. It's a fact

  • I think I have a new anthem to blast until it's my time to ship out after college...

  • Comment removed

  • I have a great idea!---how about the Army and the Marines and the Air Force all meet together in some desert in Australia or maybe Rupert's back yard and you can all fight it out amongst yourselves there!---

  • Armies*

  • lol aimen and seamen might as well not come

  • HILARIOUS! Great job! YALLA! IMSHI!

  • its good to see that they are having some fun

  • Man, untill you kids can feel our shoes you shouldnt even be talking like you know what being a soldier means, regardless of the branch. I dont care if your brother, aunt, uncle, dad, gp, friend, neibhor or whatever is in! if you arent, then shut the fuck up with your history lessons and spineless opinions! This rivalry between marines and army belongs within the ranks! have your beliefs and doubts by all means, but dont act like you guys are one of us! 11 bang bang

  • Outstanding!

  • Comment removed

  • Did you hear about the ranger on the hill and the marines that went to see what he was doing up there lol, look it up "the ranger on the hill" :)

  • Yes I have. And there was 2 not 1.

  • with the exception of Force Recon the marines are in no way a special operations force. the 75th ranger regiment is a special operations force. The rangers have taken part in many special operations, including the first Delta Force operation. Also the precursers to the the ranger, the Alamo Scouts, would run recon on islands in the Pacific before the marines would land.

  • No, the Rangers are not Spec Ops. They are a more technical Infantry force. They bring more sshit and come in by plane thats it. Marines are always the first ones in. Look at Somalia, we were first there then we left and let the Rangers clean it up

  • Look at Operation Market Garden, the Army was the ONLY ones in there. Seriously stop bringing the FIRST in shit up. If the Marines went to war with Army, it's not an opinion it's FACT that the Army would win. More people + More equipment = More power. And don't say "The Marines are better trained". Because like a said the Rangers are even more trained. So just quit trying to downgrade every other branch of the US Military because you love the Marines so much.

  • Operation Market Garden? Hmmm... that's funny. And you know what those "big dumb Jarheads" weren't at D-Day either! Hmmm... Imagine that! I wonder why?

    Maybe, it's because they were on the other side of the world "Island Hopping". I could ask the same thing, where was the army on Iwo Jima? Why were the Marines the ones to push through Fallujah during the second battle?

    The answer is we all have your orders. If you were in the military you would understand that we can't pick our fights.

  • I will give you that. But there was alot of

    Army personnel in the Pacific "Island Hopping" also. Now, how many Marines were in Europe at all? That's my point. That dumbass down there is trying to say that the Marines have always done everything and the Army has always just sat back like nothing was happening.

  • There were roughly 8,300,000 soldiers that served during WWII.

    There were only 599,693 Marines.

    And to answer your question, Marines did serve in Europe. If there is a Naval vessel you will most likely find Marines on it although at that time most were called to duty stations in the Pacific. There were also Marines that served in the elite OSS and helped the French resistance.

    In regards to whoever you are talking to, take it with a grain of salt... hes probably still in his history class.

  • true

  • That's funny because when my unit, 1-8 IN BN 3rd BCT 4th ID took over Fallujah, we managed to do it with ease and didn't make a big dramatic scene out of it. We went in, kicked ass and shut them the hell up. That place was a little vacation for a few days from the Ballad, Baldah region where we spent most of our time.

  • The marines dont have a spec ops. They got Recon, but they dont do joint ops like the rest of the operatives commmunity

  • Really?  Soooo MARSOC doesn't ring a bell?

    Marine Special Operations Command? No?

  • Nope... While Force Recon do have missions considered to be "SpecOps", they do not fall under command of SOCOM.

    MARSOC is the Marine Corps contribution to the SOCOM.

    Most MARSOC operators are former Force Recon Marines and Navy Seals. There are less MARSOC than Navy SEALS! In comparison there is 2500 MARSOC members and almost 4,500 SEALS

    MARSOC Operators are retested on language speaking skills (you have to speak at least 2 languages), combat fitness and a bunch of other crazy stuff...

  • Yeah -it was good-

  • FRIADQY

  • Who is that extremely attractive man head banging?!

  • the navy is better than the army.....but the air force is the best (hands down)

  • the airforce is the best at being nerds. lol marines are the best ground troops.

  • Na the Air Force are for professionals not category III and IV ASVAB recruits. They go to the Marines and Army. Besides why would you go Marines? They do not even have Tier 3 special forces. The Navy, Air Force, and Army all have special forces. Also what is up with the Marines and their equipment and dark age style combat system? I have seen guys squads of marines running around and one guy out of the whole group has night vision. Doesn't make sense.

  • are you serious? lol havnt you heard of force recon and MARSOC? some of the best in the world? why dont theyhave alot of equiptment? the vid you saw was prolly most of the guys didnt want them or didnt need them. the air force special forces dont even do anything. the only people i respect in the airforce are the piolots.

  • Last time I talked to a Marine, "not some rookie" Force Recon was over with for quite sometime now. I'm not talking about videos. In real life I have seen Marines running around without gear they need. I'm just saying they have not upward movement if you want to go infantry. You join the Marines make E-6 and your part of the club sitting in your office and living the life. The Army has more dumb asses but you can move up tiers in infantry.

  • idk about the force recon thing but im pretty sure theyre still active they just have nothing to do lol. the other part is true tho it is easier to rank up in the army but if you join the military for money then i dont want you protecting me.

  • Nooo... Force Reconnaissance has not been disbanded.

    1st Recon Bn. 1st Marine

    2nd Recon Bn. 2nd Marine Division Force

    Active in Reserves

    II MEF

  • thanks god for not being a soldier.

  • FUCKING CUNTS

  • the word is commonly used by israelis.

  • This is a well put together video!!! Great Job

  • LMAO at 1:19

  • lol i remember when those captains were filming that this is why im hot video at the pool...haha

  • I was a Marine grunt (1/7 B Co.) and this song is friggin' great. Brings back good memories, but I'm glad I got out.

  • just got out? im willing to bet you have a 50% chance of reupping in army infantry in 3 months. most of our prior service guys are marines haha.

  • Been out for over 2 yrs. bro. I was a Marine grunt. Did my time 2002-2007. I'd never put on the uniform of another service. Especially one that wears a friggin' beret as part of it. I'm not French or a limp wrist.

  • ahh see in the army we are man enough to make it work. at least our uniforms match. red black and blue?

    we all hate the beret anyway. but with the ASU its gettin phased out.

  • Well played my friend, but I must say chicks dig our NCO sword.

  • bro we have sabers in the army too. they dig jump wings too. combat infantrymans badges. i dont know why the army has swords all of a sudden though. i mean in the past armys had them but nowadays i dunno why.

  • Why you glad you got out? I mean I understand, but I want to hear your reasons. 0311 for the fucking win brother

  • 3 Tours. OIF (the invasion), OIF 2-2, and I volunteered for OIF 5-7. Five years in and liked it, but I absolutely f***ing hated garrison and most officers. I hated all the bs of garrison and stupid training ops that had no basis on what we were doing in Iraq/Afghanistan. Long story short I loved my buddies, my job most of the time, and had a great deal of pride in what I did. I just got tired of swimming in the bullshit.

  • Oorah! Lol. I hear ya on that. But hey, thats officers for you. Think they know everyhting. Especailly the 2nd LTs.

  • What pushed me over the edge was on my third tour my 2nd Lt. was 24 and I was 22 and on my third tour......he treated me and my other buddy also a squad leader on his third tour like privates. The last straw was when my buddy and I got passed over for meritorious sergeant. Battalion promoted a f***ing clerk who sat in the AC of a comfy office while us 03s were pounding sand and getting shot at.

  • Yeah, hey I feel you. I hate 2nd LTs. FRESH OUT OF OCS! Fuck that. Give them their rank, but give it time to sink in. Just because your an officer doesnt make you better than anyone thats why I hate 2nd LTs. 2nd LTs think they know everything until they get in a firefight then theyy come runnin to the "privates"

  • I'm in ROTC at the moment and we got a couple guys in our program who have been arrogant as hell to some guys who have actually been out in the field. And I just don't understand why they would ever think they have any f***ing right sometimes....

    We had one guy who was talking like he was big stuff because he had been to Basic and AIT at Benning to a guy who was 1st Cav Div. and had done two deployments (one in Iraq as a Cav Scout and one in Afghanistan as an MP).

  • Thats because he DOES know more than you and he knows how the military works. He wants things done right. A Marine will put him in his place

  • Well, our the 1st Cav Division guy put the other dude in his place. He wasn't gonna take any shit from this guy who has only been through basic training like every other guy in his future platoon.

    I was trying to enlist in the Guard and go to Basic and AIT myself this summer, between school semesters. But the Guard stopped processing medical waivers cause of downsizing.

    Are you a Marine then? How long you been in?

  • Dont go Guard... I almost made that mistake. If you like th Army, go Army. 1st Cav are like our 1st Marines. Not as badass of course not but theyre the 1st Infantry unit. And soldiers they let shit go to their head and they cant back it when you confront them.

    And yes I am a Marine. Ive been in for 6 years.

  • I was just going to train with the Guard while in ROTC (do Basic and AIT over the summer), but it didn't happen anyhow cause they would process any medical waivers (have some metal screws in my arm; woulda gotten the waiver if MEPS hadn't halted processing for the Guard).

    I'm going to apply for a commission on active duty with ROTC, but also heard there might be a way to transfer to the USMC, and even considered that, though my army friends ridicule me for speaking of such things.

  • How many deployments have you done if you don't mind me asking? And what unit(s) have you been in?

  • 3rd Marines and 2 deployments

  • Where abouts did you deploy to? Which provinces of Iraq/Afghanistan?

    I got a friend in the British Army over in Helmand who just got back to Camp Bastion from patrolling the green zone, and found that there were a lot of U.S. Marines there when he returned there.

    It's funny, cause a lot of my U.S. Army friends seem to talk non-stop about how arrogant the marines are, but my British Army friends seem to have generally found the U.S. Marines more likeable guys than the U.S. Army.

  • Lol yeah Im sure the Brits were Royal Marines. Army talks a lot of shit... so do we but we back it up. RMs are fun to be around and work with.

  • We've recently sent thousands of U.S. Marines into Helmand and the big base there is Camp Bastion where my friend is. He was talking about them to me online when he had internet again after returning to Bastion (from patrolling the green zone). He's in 4 Mercian (Territorial Army Infantry; TA being like the Brit version of the National Guard).

    Another friend of mine in the Brit 7th Armoured Brigade did a tour in Iraq and another in Afghanistan, and has dealt with both U.S. Army and USMC.

  • My friend in the Brit 7th Armoured Brigade, who's Signal Corps (radio operator, forget what battalion he's attached to) said that when he was in Helmand, the U.S. Marines seemed to be less stiff and enjoy the company of foreign personnel more, whereas the U.S. Army guys he met were kind of "arrogant" towards the "squaddies"

    I thought this was funny because my U.S. Army friends always paint a different picture.

  • Army thinks theyre the shit. They can think all they want but they arent

  • And the Marines don't? Dude, don't even start with that shit.

  • No, we know we're the shit. We back it up everyday too.

  • HAHA, save your breath. Fake ass Marine.

  • Marines are shit. ARMY RANGERS FTW.

  • Lol Army Rangers are bullshit. Marine Infantry, Marine Grunts are borderline SF. Rangers are just an Infantry unit that jumps out planes not SF. Sucks for yall doesnt it?

  • Rangers are first in. The Marines aren't good enough to lead the way.

  • Lol really? No, we're definitely first in. Marines are alawys first to fight. I could give a fuck what anyone says, the President is the one who tells us to go no a General. We're in about a month before anyone is. Rangers Lead the Way for the Army. No one leads the Marines. We clear the yall pick up the stragglers. Lol Rangers are bullshit

  • HAHA, do your homework buddy. Tell me how many wars the Marines were in first. You clearly don't know shit about the US Military so just shut up. Marine Force Recon is a thing of the past. The Army still has true fucking Recon. So seriously, shut up.

  • God damn. You sound like a fucking retard on steroids. The Marines are almost NEVER the first in. Who do you think has to scope every thing out first? Not the Marines. Stop giving the Marines respect for shit they don't do. SPECIAL FORCES=TIP OF THE SPEAR. I heard it straight out of a Marines mouth. Swear to fucking god I did. The Marines don't deserve that title.

  • And quit saying "we" like your actually in the Marines. Your not.

  • Actually, I am. 3rd Marines buddy. To let you know thats an Infantry unit.

    Ive been in since 03. Not my problem is the Army cant ever back anything up. Bunch of retards who cant do their job without some kind of assistance from the Marines

  • No your not. If you were you wouldn't have 300 something favorites on you account. Unless that's what marines do in iraq. sit one their asses.

  • Let me guess, your in R&R or on leave or something. Right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAAHAHAHAH. POSER ASS MARINE

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Actually no, Im not leave. I broke my ankle so I couldnt ship. No, now Im recooperating. Leave is a great way to spend time with family, Im still on base in baracks waiting to ship in less than 2 weeks.

  • Yea, and im on leave from the Navy Seals because I got my legs blown off.

  • And you sure ass hell wouldn't be on right now.

  • WAIT WAIT WAIT! Are you really trying to say Marines ar e SF and Rangers are not? Seriously, how the hell are Marines SF. You go to the Marines to be trained to be a Marine. Not SF. No matter what your MOS your a Marine. You go to the Army to be a number of things.

  • Just because of the comment you made, I know your full of shit now.

  • Really? Just because youre Airborne qualified doesnt make you SF. According to my Recon buddy, we're as close as basic infantry gets to SF. Rangers work in like 12 man teams. Marines, are smaller and more elite. Fuck the Rangers a bunch of wannabe badasses. Most of em are good guys though and fun to work with.

  • Honestly, if you think Marines work in smaller teams then Rangers and are more elite you really don't know what your talking about. SF compared to Marines. Who the hell do you think are more elite.

  • My squAd leade was ex marine corp and he never spoke about umc vs rgr either being better. diffeRent units, different mission.

  • not even sure why the fuck i felt compelled to comment, like i'm gonna resolve this stupid fucking argument about which unit it more spec ops. F

  • I didnt start either di the kid down there brought it up

  • And don't even try to say im disrespecting the Marines because I sure as hell wouldn't diss another branch of the US Military. It's pretty pathetic when someone like you would try to even think that one branch was better then the other. Especially when all branches have different roles. And when I said the Army would beat the Marines im not saying that the Marines are worse then the Army. It's like the Civil War. One was better trained and one was better equipped. Better equipped won the war.

  • Actaully, I have no problem with the Army. I just said Marines are better. But your stupid ass comes in here with that Army Strong bullshit and try to prove me wrong. Youre not in the Army, so stop sayin shit you know nothin about

  • How are Marines borderline SF? Do they operate deep behind enemy lines with small teams? That's a new one.

    Full respect to the Marine Corps man. I don't particularly have a lot of military experience, but for you to say that Marine grunts are borderline SF seems to me shit you can't back up.

    Marines are another infantry unit. You can put forth the argument that they do more with less than the Army infantry units, but "borderline SF".... that's absurd. I've got friends who are Army SF.

  • So true man

  • This song is awesome, I love the beat. I'm assuming you performed the music (or had some friends in a band)? As far as the lyrics spelling, who gives a shit, I don't understand why they were so wrapped around the axel about it, this song is all in good fun, and it's so good that I don't understand why anyone would care about spelling. Great job man, this song was awesome.

  • Amazing..

  • marine corps infantry anything less is just support any you can get that from a jockstrap oohrah marine cor

  • pogue is actually spelled POG it is an acroynm for Personal Other then Grunt, in other words non-infantry, we use it as a somewhat disrespectful term for support MOS's.

  • PERSONNEL Other than Grunt, not Personal.

  • I am pretty sure this is a fuels platoon, but I am not sure it looks damn familiar

  • is the guy head banging in the humvee sully erna from godsmack?!

  • no hes a marine

  • Very, very cool. Being an old school Jarhead, it is nice to know that the kids are at least trying to hang with us by pulling some shenanigans. Tommy, love ya, stay frosty! You are an American Hero. Thanks Cracker!!!

  • Any way to get the lyrics to Yalla Yalla?

  • click on more info, its there

  • Yeah - they're on the right hand side of the page - press *more*

  • Haha yeah I figured it out before anyone replied, I felt kinda stupid. Heh well thanks for helping me and not saying i'm a idiot I don't think I would have been that kind.
