Trounced on home turf: British Royal Marine commandos force US Marines into humiliating surrender halfway through five-day war training exercise in Mojave desert

Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today.

British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.

The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.

Combatants used paintball-style training ammunition, which fires with reduced pressure and velocity, along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery, and live ammo on expansive ranges.

Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through the five-day exercise, having taken significant casualties from British commandos.

Yes, the marines were testing out potential future strategy, but considering the state of todays military, is this kind of embarrassment surprising to anyone? Considering the state of my beloved US NAVY, my opinion is this is just the continuation of what was once the greatest military in the world.

I meant to say continued degredation...........

Todays US NAVY is definitely not the navy I served in. Reading that report on the demise of the USS BONHOMME RICHARD infuriated me.

The Royal Marines aren’t exactly chopped liver.... not as embarrassing as say, losing to the Taliban would be.

The marines had been too busy focusing on the correct pronouns to use so they would not get court-martialed by a snow flake commander.

Well to be fair there are few black troops in the Royal Marines. The US forces have a different problem. When someone yells, “Get down”, the whites, hispanics and asians hit the dirt. The blacks stand up and start dancing.

The Dutch have had homosexual troops for decades. So that isn’t the issue. The issue is a top down failure of leadership for the US Marines.

The only important thing is that they used the correct pronouns.
