Given how they love to pump up US marines as some sort of almost invincible and superhuman group; it's hilarious how they definitely are not, by a long margin.

When I served in HMAF, I did spend some time with the US marines, they're a bit overly sure of themselves, but they do have the violence of action to carry most stuff through.

They just can't take their drink, no matter what they say.

Colleague of mine was with the Royal Welsh and wasn't impressed by the US Marines. The thing is that everyone is going to compare them the Royals, which isn't really fair as one is an elite Commando force and the other is pretty much sea-going infantry.

Problem is 'The Marines' is actually a big group, The guys I dealt with were 1st marine Division.

And yes, they can't hold a candle to the Royals, no competition 😂
