Just to piggy back off of Col P’s VMI video, I had a cadet send me this 4 minute spot on VMI’s Special Action Detachment. Not bad.
VMI really needs to start harnessing the power of these of cadet-made shorts for marketing purposes.
BTW, is Metallica the mandatory soundtrack for these vids or what?
John, would you prefer Megadeth?
Impressive hardware. I guess this is where my alumni donations go to.
Guess it’s better than going to the football team…
Do you have a link to those last two videos? They won’t load up for some reason here.
Before the crackdown on bloggers and Youtube posts, I am guessing one half of all Youtube videos by Marines in Iraq (showing combat) were with Metallica soundtrack. I don’t know about the one half number I just gave, but you get the point. LOTS of Metallica in the Corps.
I’m OK with Metallica…Dave Mustaine’s politics are slightly more than left of center even though he can play the hell out of a guitar.
I was waiting for BR Bullnav to weigh in on Megadeth! “Whaddaya mean I don’t support the system? I go to court when I have to…”
Don’t get me wrong: I love Megadeth, too.
“What do you mean I hurt your feelings? I didn’t know you had any feelings”
But, like I said: Hetfield likes to go out and shoot guns and blow things up, too. Mustaine is kind of a pu$$y.
So Metallica it is..
Yes, we should be making more use of these. That particular Det will be essential on The Day, that wonderful day, when we finally crush the Minks, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentations of their women. Really, what are they going to fight back with– lacrosse sticks and private school blazers??
I doubt the Minks’ women will be lamenting much. They’ll finally have some real men running the show.
Is there really a better choice than Metallica? MAYBE Megawhine…I mean Megadeth. But as BullNav deduced here, Dave leans the wrong way. Then again, so has Lars and Kirk lately…
Who do they plan on ‘special actioning’ against? The Citadel? VA Tech?
