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.

“Mojave desert”
See, there’s the problem right there.
How the hell were the Americans supposed to run in sand...even in 2 inch heels?
That’s gotta be nearly impossible!

Wow. Cannot believe some of the ignoramus comments going on this thread.

The USMC is under going a wholesale doctrinal change, to a type of force they’ve NOT been for many decades. We’ve been wasting our military resources on stupid nation-building policing for DECADES now. You’re seeing the current baseline of what needs to be rebuilt and why.

let’s be honest here... this was not the US Marines.

this was the Woke Marines of the United States.

what percentage of the actual Marines were forced out due to rejecting the vaxx?

Yes, but our force was more diverse than theirs.

AND they were fully "vaccinated" and much more woke!

Illuminating comment, thank you for posting.

If this exercise wasn’t a deliberate mismatch, then it was very valuable in revealing what may be a flaw in doctrine or a training gap.

they probably caught them while they were engaged in a Struggle Session during which they were confessing to having been born white.

Excuses, excuses. They’re like a-holes, everybody has one.

Outnumbered, so what. Better trained, so what.

The Royal Marines have the SBS as their elite squadron, special boat squadron or service it’s called now. SAS draws candidates from all branches of the military including Royal Marines but many suggest SBS is the most elite of the special operators.

Royal Marines are great fighting men, like the Parachute Regiment they are considered the most capable infantry soldiers in British military, but they are not special forces, they are like the US Marines in that regards.

The biggest difference was they didn’t have many if any women fighting, only discreet poofters not flaming faggots, no low iq diverity hires, no trannies and no indoctrination in globohomo wokeness enforced in their training. Their officers tend to attract an upperclass career patriotic Brit too.

Yes but I bet we outscored them in diversity, intersectionality and Critical Race Theory. So that means we actually won.

Who cares if all of our assets got taken out and they controlled the vast majority of the territory? That’s just because they aren’t as advanced as we are and haven’t gotten rid of all that nasty toxic masculinity in their armed forces.

Better to learn that you're all screwed up in a training exercise with friends than on a battlefield with enemies. Hurt feelings is better than dead bodies. Fix the problem.

The officer corps isn’t what it used to be.

My son (USMC), participated on the "bad guy" team in a similar exercise. He's pretty skilled at finding weak points and caught the "good guys" multiple times. Again, it's better to learn in a non-lethal exercise than head-to-head with a real enemy.
