The Marine Corps was founded in 1775 as a force to augment the Navy when performing boarding actions, repelling borders and performing raids. But since that time, the USMC has turned into an agile, and creative expeditionary force that is often the first to arrive at an intervention.

A home run of a video; the host just punches you with facts and puts it all together in a cohesive and pithy video.
Lol, that thumbnail picture is worth gold!
Would you mind sharing it with us? Would love to see it being used on other social media!
There should be a call of duty 19th century..
Naval infantry. That's what I've always figured the Marines to be. Am I correct?
It's a smaller group of men leads to the camaraderie
My Dad was a Navy corpsman. He had tons of Marine friends. They taught me the Marine Hymn before I knew the the pledge of allegiance. They rough housed with me, played baseball, told wild tales and assorted Marine stories and generally became an extended family group of uncles…and then I grew up and joined the Army…
Easy. I am one.
As a Marine, I thank you for this F'n awesome video!
Spent some time on Al Asad when it was run by Marines. They're impressive in every way. Polite, professional, their 1 star made a point to visit us twice (7 man AF team) to ask for good things/ bad things about the Marines and how they can do things better.
Marines are impressive even when they're not trying to kill you.
I don't think the US army fought the Indians lmao
They fought Native Americans
Hello Ryan great video but I wish you could’ve explained more on why the Marine Corp falls under or is a component of the Department of the Navy?
✌🏽🇺🇸🙏
I served in the Marines & never heard of the Battle of Ganghwa until now! Marines are usually abreast of their history but somehow this battle slipped by me. Thanks for sharing!!
I’m a Marine that then went into the Air Force. Had to do something with a perfect ASVAB score. I always said, the Air Force you can become something, but Marines you become someone. Never felt as much pride as seeing US Marine on my uniform for the first time.
the USMC is the least woke branch, nuff said
Semper Fi
I have the Utmost respect for Marines, although I won't stop giving them crap. I'm an old combat arms soldier that have had prior service marines in the ranks. Even though they were serving as soldiers at the time, they were all still Marines. Ooorah!
Fucken rahhhhhh!!!
As a Marine, thank you Army brother, hell of a spot on explanation
That last line said it all. A Marine is something you are.
USMC…..no greater friend, no worse enemy……Semper Fi….1971- 1979…..
Try telling any former 82nd Airborne paratrooper it was something they "did" and not something they "are" 😂😂😂
If you are a Marine for the rest of your life, as I was told on Parris Island while I was golfing there, then why do Marines join the army since there are no such thing as a former Marine? Why don't they don't they just stay in the Corps? God Bless America 🇺🇸
One of the biggest mistakes I ever made in my life was not joining the Marine Corps and "joining" the family business instead. I had already been to Parris Island at age 15 just prior to the Grenada Invasion and knew that was the life that I really wanted.
The degree to which they drank their own kool aid and bought their own hype? They celebrate a minor squabble in Northern Africa in which they famously backstabbed and abandoned the mercenaries they hired without paying them a penny, all while Europe was busy with Napoleon, fighting at Trafalgar and Austerlitz, they claim honorific nicknames supposedly given by the enemy that they have likely made up themselves. Their pilots can't tell 400 ft above ground from 800 ft above ground, and they are notorious for refusing to own up to civilian victims of their mess-ups, even when they're from allied nations.
So the marines are basically the US's R/D department for small unit tactics, but its just them doing crazy stuff and people copying them when it works, and it works most of the time.
Oh man do i enjoy your videos!!! Outstanding analysis. Buddy, you should be on the big networks. I differ from you on nobody wins in a nuclear war. I think that there would be survivors in small pockets of the earth. They, the handful, would be winners. They would later die from the nuclear winter….as winners. Then the next species could evolve. Perhaps radioactive resistant insects? I'm just kidding. All this talk of nuclear weapons is madness!
I do like the A-10. It was so fliable.
The sound of that gun…it put more uranium depleted ordinance on target.
Love your show .
Close air support in Vietnam was less than perfect.
I liked the video very much – except for the part about getting rid of tanks. As a young Marine infantry officer who participated in Phases 1- 3 of the 4 phases of the Corps' Mech Test in 1978-1979 at 29 Palms to see if the Corps could task organize for mechanized warfare, the results of those tests proved valuable in Gulf War I. [The Corps actually imported/smuggled General de Panzertruppen Hermann Balck to 29 Palms to advise us. No joke, this guy, the German Patton was a military genius. He impressed the crap out of us with him at the age of 82].
That said, the Corp's position between the Army’s airborne units [aka speed bumps] and the arrival of the Big Army is to be light enough to get there quickly and powerful enough to stay and hold if not advance until the Army arrives. Tanks are a big help in that. Sure the Corps can do amphibious raids but they don’t have to take tanks along for that mission. Having them – if and when they are needed – is a very good idea.
And let's not forget that this idiot commandant has not only gotten rid of the tanks, he has reduced the number of infantry battalions, cut the artillery in half and cut the Corps' helo lift capability in half. He has in effect turned the Corps into a weak sister of the Army – weak enough that Congress is going to start asking why we need a Marine Corps. Our Republic without a Marine Corps would be far worse off.
And the Commandant’ idiocy all started with getting rid of the M16A4 in favor of the M4 carbine [which is a weak sister as a battle rifle to the M16A4 – especially firing the M855A1 service cartridge. I know I official tested both weapons using that cartridge].
He followed that by replacing a belt fed squad automatic weapon with a magazine fed squad automatic rifle – as if 60 years of experience with the Browning automatic rifle didn’t conclusively proove that a belt fed weapon was vastly superior in gaining and maintaining fire superiority. Certainly the M249 wasn’t the best belt fed squad automatic weapon around but the solution was to REPLACE IT WITH A BETTER BELT FED SQUAD AUTOMATIC WEAPON – not with a magazine fed heavy barreled rifle. Adopting the M27 squad automatic rifle of course brings with it all of the problems the BAR had in terms of having to change magazines every 10 to 15 seconds and having a dozen magazines flopping around on your body.
As for drones and modern antitank weapons, A VERY BIG PART of tank employment is to do it in a combined arms fashion – which the Russians have absolutely failed to do. If this were not so, we wouldn’t be giving the Ukrainians tanks from Poland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States [from us they are probably the Marines old tanks – a guess on my part…]
Loved that video, Ryan! The USMC has esprit de corps, once a Marine always a Marine. I joined in ‘68 because they had the best looking uniforms. I especially liked the winter greens. I still have green blouse but it’s a little tight in the shoulders and chest.😉
Ummm…. the Marines didn't "invent" the V-22 Osprey. Engineers at Bell Helicopter Textron did.
Nothing. Wait, their greasy spoons and wrench monkeys can to five extra push-ups (with poor form)? — a former US Army parachute infantry light weapons sergeant
Semper Fi till we Die!!
I proudly served in the South African Marine Brigade '87 – '89 …. still armed to the teeth with the necessary attitude 😂
From an old Airman, I love Marines. They are imo the best at turning bad guys into fertilizer.
They have covered our asses more than once while doing things on the ground to control what is in the air.
They also know which crayons go best with MREs.
I was told its prohibited to walk in a group of 4 or more marines. It is considered a " deadly force" back at my mos school @ fort leonardwood lol
Outstanding Thank You 🤝🇺🇸
