Do you mean their tough bullies beat up on our gays and transgenders?
I’d like those limeys come up to my neck of the woods. It ain’t too far from the Mojave. We’d show them a real good time. Redneck style.
The old “hey diddle, diddle, right up the middle “ didn’t work this time?
The exceptions occur when there is money at stake in a military budget that can line their pockets or the pockets of their allies. Otherwise, you can count on them to support enemies of this Republic, even (or especially) those that openly boast of murdering our citizens and military personnel.
All these things, God, Family, Country, Honor, Respect, Patriotism, Tradition, Masculine Strength, fighting for the person next to you, these are core values long held by the American Military.
And that is why the Left has a venomous and malignant distaste for the Military. It is why, since Obama took office, they have been purging the ranks, top to bottom, of anyone holding fealty to these core values above and replacing them with people who bow at the altar of Leftism. Anyone who pays attention to these things has seen the direction the Left has been moving in.
And that is why we see an exercise like this turn out the way that it has.
I guess our marines have done did the rest beyond the stopping of the ad that they were looking for a few good Men. If you ain’t first you’re last.
Thanks brandon
The British Marines in this exercise weren’t just everyday RM’s, but rather special forces. British Marine Commandos.
Put regular Royal Marines up against the Navy Seals or Force Recon and you might have a different result.
In any case, the exercise is a great way to learn lessons and why such things are done. Troops learning, even in a defeat in a realistic war game, is a hella lot better than in real war.
General George Patton honed his unique skills in the Louisiana Maneuvers of 1940 and those games, in which 400K US Army troops played, were absolutely vital to WWII success, even though Patton’s forces cleaned everyone’s clock.
Well, the Royal Marines are no slouches; never have been.
Training exercises give valuable lessons and experience. They reveal flawed doctrine and training gaps.
In this case the exercise may also have proven the value of a new doctrine.
Like the WW2 wargaming of anti-sub warfare, or the way the Prussians used Kriegspiel to model their extraordinarily decisive war with the French.
In any case, no-one should feel sore about it. It’s not a ‘British victory’, it’s a win for everybody involved. Learn the lesson(s), come back stronger.
This is the third or fourth thread posted on this topic...just saying.
Thats crap. The Royal Marines are the baddest fighting force on the planet. Just check this discipline routine out! Lets see our trannys keep up with this powerhouse!
The USMC is a scary powerful force, and their philosophy is admirable. But they rely on the competence of their command structure to achieve success. Let us hope a day comes when they are cleansed of political correctness.
Depends on the training objectives of the units.
The US Marines have a great big desert training area.
I don’t think desert fighting is their main mission.
They recently got rid of their tanks.
If you take this training opportunity seriously, you will call for a reset.
Grinding down forces for 3 more days doesn’t really teach much.
It’s also a different mindset when you are getting shot with paintballs versus getting shot with lead.
You tend to be a bit more cautious after the first few heads are blown off.
The marines were wearing pink uniforms so made easy targets...of ridicule.
At first I thought USS Harvey Milk was just a joke.
But sadly I was wrong.

Marine Corps Rejects Reports That It ‘Surrendered’ To British Forces During Exercise
The U.K. Royal Marines that reportedly trounced a U.S. Marines Corps unit were actually fighting right alongside other American Marines.
By Joseph Trevithick November 4, 2021
"During this exercise, a U.S. Marine Regiment augmented with subordinate units formed an adversary force to actively challenge and test a peer regiment of U.S. Marines," the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) at Twentynine Palms told The War Zone in a statement. "This training opportunity increased warfighting readiness and interoperability of the U.S. Marine Corps with multinational forces."This is the particularly important immediate context that many of the initial media reports at best glossed over. The Royal Marines were attached to a larger force that included elements of the U.S. Marine Corps itself, as well as Canadian, Dutch, and Emirati troops. The British contingent reportedly worked directly alongside personnel from the Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and the UAE's Presidential Guard, a specialized force modeled after the U.S. Marines, among other elements, for this exercise.
"This training opportunity increased warfighting readiness and interoperability of the U.S. Marine Corps with multinational forces. Exercise scenarios are adjusted as needed to assist commanders in meeting training objectives," the statement from the MCAGCC continued. "'Winners' are never determined. This exercise does not provide an opportunity to 'surrender,' 'keep score,' or 'reset.' The objective of the exercise is to heighten unit performance and increase readiness."
