  • these marines can not speak to these guys..lol..instead of doing some gestures like this.

  • hahaha yeah does marines in the backgrounds showed those guys they can't go through. pretty cool. lol XD

  • Did anyone else notice, or appreciate, the marines in the background? I love the precision timing with which our soldiers move at ceremonial events.

  • I'm in the Marines, and I was there that day, and when Obama said "Like a lot of great ideas, this one was conceived in a bar." (4:53) We all just fucking screamed and every other branch was just so confused.

  • Great day! Ride brave soldiers, ride!!! HooAH!

    We believe in freedom of speech, but this is the Whitehouse's Post area & I don't think if invited 2 the Whitehouse you'd perform there as you do here. Have more respect 4 yourselves. You're good ppl -not brash, indecent, and ungreatful individuals.

    This is support for those who survived 4 your freedom of speech. Let your words be that of gratification and not damnation.

  • They're awesome!

  • those mariens are funny in the background
