DVD Reviews of The Marines
DVD Review: The Marines - Unparalleled
Summary: 5 Stars
The U.S. Marine Corps has withstood many battles and prevailed, from the withering fire of foreign battlefronts around the globe, to the backstabbing attempts by Army generals afraid of losing control of their congressional funds and a Congress whose political wavering blew with the prevailing political winds. However, through it all, the Marine Corps has not only survived, it has prevailed. It prevailed because each time the country called, Marines were standing tall to take up any challenge and confront any foe. Following the battle for Iwo Jima, Secretary of the Navy, James Forestall, said the "flag raising on Iwo Jima means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years."
The Corps also prevailed because it was and is adaptable. It not only led the way in amphibious landing, it initiated close air support of ground troops to the point that, before WW II, German Luftwaffe officers studied Marine close air-ground combat tactics. As times and challenges have changed with more recent threats to the United States, a fast moving, self sufficient force with its own supply lines, its own air, tanks, artillery, and communications, has made the Marine infantryman a force to be reckoned with.
In 1775, at Tun Tavern, Philadelphia, the first battalion of Marines was raised by an act of Congress. Since then, Marines have done the country's bidding without question or subterfuge, in line with its motto, Semper Fidelis - Always Faithful.
Although there are some older Marines who talk about the "Old Corps" as though it is gone forever, this DVD about the new Corps shows that, although situations, protocols and environments have changed, the Marines produced by the Corps today, both officer and enlisted, are the same hard-charging, gung ho Marines that first stormed the beaches in the Bahamas and took the British fort to gain weapons and gunpowder for Washington's Continental Army, as they were in the battle for Fallujah and all the combat in between. The fact that a number of young men and women enlist today and try to become Marines in a time of conflict speaks to their backbone and their love of country.
Marines are a breed apart. The title "MARINE" must be earned and it's not easy. The bond that separates Marines from the rest is the one that not only brings them together in combat, but one that remains for life.
Short of taking the oath and suiting up yourself, this is a good view of what the Marine Corps is today, the challenges it offers and the pride one takes away when earning the title and becoming a U.S. MARINE!
