One can only wonder how many hours these guys train. Really great stuff...

Could you imagine if one of these guys was gay?

No, but I bet you have already imagined it.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

We trained with wooden rifles in High School ROTC (AJROTC). No, umm, bayonets. It was 1-2 hours per day sometimes. These guys, lots more

Seriously, the video is beyond impressive. Thanks for posting, Professor M.

Nah, a good thread crap would be to somehow denigrate their service, effort, skill or the intent of the OP. Mine was simply a provocative and humorous comment which is quite relevant considering the political debate going on right now.

The juxtaposition of this debate -- and the video demonstrating such extreme teamwork, precision and focus -- I find quite appropriate.

I think this video has been around a while, but I know I watch the entire thing every time I see it. As I said, it's great stuff, so good it makes you feel proud of your country. I'm sure this is their motivation as well.

No it wasn't. It was as John said a steamy one. I cant speak for all on the matter we in my service world did not concern ourselves as to how one had sex what we did concern ourselves with was whether or not a person (male/female) could do their job especially under duress. I knew of a few gays mostly female. the real discussion is whom gets treated better in the military gay men or women. Definitely women from what i saw.

Back on topic I didn't watch the squid drill team do I cant comment on it.

As I said, the intent was to be provocative. Just cause it's the scuppers doesn't mean we can't think.

As to the drum corps guy. Impressive technique, but I'd think an example with his peers would be more appropriate to the thread. A dozen or so people thinking as one it what it's all about.

Very cool videos - just shows the dedication, determination and descipline of our troops - thanks for sharing. On a lighter note if you haven't seen this before it is pretty funny. Hope you get a kick out of it. RazlDazl
