What happened with weapons at war?
I’m not sure if anyone catches the Goldberg wcw/wwe theme song @4:58 ??
My cousin B.Michael Beeler was a member of Carson Raider Battalion. Mike missed the Makin Island Raid but was at the Long March on Guadalcanal. He fought other engagements as well. When he died in 2000 he was buried in his Marine Uniform. Always Faithful.
All of that blood spilled, all of that intense training, widows, handicapped, dead, so that China Joe Biden can open the borders and late American hating illegals (Felony to cross the border illegally) in & give them "Free Stuff" The raiders and all WWII Veterans and the Founders must be turning in their graves at what this country has become.
This country's leadership has done more to destroy the USA than the Germans or Japanese ever could have dreamed of.
Question ???How did soldiers fight so good on the battle field and let the government get so corrupt.
At 0:18 I swore it was the war thunder theme about to drop the beat
The first special forces group was the First Special Service Force
Semper Fidelis Marines.
The amount of courage and determination these men had is beyond description. Being sent to the Pacific was almost a death sentence similar to a German being sent to the Eastern Front in Europe.
Every single one of those men on the battlefield are WARRIORS
