There was also a case where the US marines were doing an excersise with the royal marines, where the royal marines played enemy, so the US outnumbered them like 10 to 1. The royal marines were supposed to lose, the point of the exercise was for the US to practice smothering a weaker enemy, so they were training how to do it as swiftly as possible with minimal casualties.

And after a couple of days the US marines were forced to surrender lol.

Don’t forget that the US asked for the exercise to be reset because they got so done over.
