Marine reacts to "Why the Royal Marines are Changing" 

i know that it has happened before

pond. wtf.. 😂😂😂

@@sudarshan3965 its a reference to the North Atlantic Ocean

@Kieran Rice any specific reason for that?

@@sudarshan3965 best not to question the English language we’ll be here all day

Yeh you will see the odd phone box but they are mainly toilets for the homeless lmao

@@EthanfromEngland- true

@@EthanfromEngland-Or advertising space for young Ladies " new in Town" ...

Gibraltar still has the red boxes. It is like UK in the 80's but with great weather. Well worth a visit.

The ones where i live look like that

Ah Juno. Regiment Gunners, Commandos and the Canadians.

My late dad's mate was there with 48 cdo. He was my dad's sergeant when he joined up in 1946

Army Commandos though, not RM

Spain isn't showing any military annexation plans. On other hand they have shown continuous interest on political annexation. Brexit is making small changes towards political annexation. But the annexation is still long way in future because it needs major political changes in the Rock.

@@suokkos didnt the last poll see that 80% of people were against reunification with Spain

@@itsperimo , It was about 99%. That was the part requiring major changes. But brexit moved Gibraltar towards Spain and EU because Gibraltar joins Schengen.

@@suokkos ohh that was the official referendum way back, i was thinking about the poll just after the brexit deal for how it was gonna effect them. i do say i respect the Spanish gov they said they would veto any deal unless the residence of gibby were at the forefront of negotiations. they know we aint going give up sovereignty and are trying work hard with us to create a ecosystem of fluidity for the people of giggy. also just weirds me out how the eu wouldnt let us have the same deal with northern ireland

@@itsperimo , I haven't seen the poll in news. I tried to search for it but I failed to find it quickly. As for same deal as Northern Ireland. The draft version was leaked to news in January. News claimed it will be similar to Irish agreement but local differences in details. Politics tend to complicate thinks which makes it rare that exactly same agreement works in different places.

I second your choice of reaction video

Some of the phone booths have also been remade into first aid posts in extremely rural areas.

3rd that!

That's a really enjoyable video.

@@robertlarner9935 i get that recommended all the time

hopefully will shut the scots up haha

@@afriendlycadian9857 too right lmao

Especially since it was a Scot that conceived SAS and as a result SF.

My favourite start to all bond films

naughty boy! you know better! 😂

He does. Also he's worked with British Soldiers so he also knows first-hand how awesome and top notch they are.

Formed in 1664.

yep they've been a lot longer then what these fact clips will try and make people believe but the bloke who does the reactions I have to say I like the way he has respect for other countries troops and regiments.

yeah, before the napoleonic era, they were boarding and counter boarding in the age of sail, naval port defence and troops dropped off for attack before the army arrived, sharp shooters in the rigging, it was a French marine that shot Nelson for example

No maybe the guards but not the sas sbs or marines.

@@gavinpaice8008 Not true, IMO.

They are elite much harder training than regular infantry and paras. There already like rangers raiders think this make them pretty much special forces

@@Lewis-zq5ws not sf, possibly SO?

@@politicalassassin No, just commandos. That's why they're named like that. they are their own kind

Commandos were always SF but so much peacekeeping after the war we kept using them as grunts

@@burgundycommander7589 commandos are tier 2 and the direct template for US SF, they were the only SF that were not disbanded because they merged directly with an established unit there is no non commando RM its typical of the UK to get 1 unit to do several roles,

@@burgundycommander7589 UK dont have a distinct tier 2 like the US so Elites have always covered both roles

@@burgundycommander7589 AH I see you thought I meant officially not in terms of cabability

Royals and paras are essentially what you would call tier 2 though its hard to directly compare them to the US forces. Being a smaller military they have to do a wider array of duties including elite Infantry. They are however on a similiar level to seals and the US rangers. Dont take my word. Watch some chris thrall vids on guys who have served with such units

Talaiasi Labalaba. What an incredible warrior he was. Legend! Definitely be worth watching battle of Mirbat.

Being sold for a £1 now to their local councils to do with as they will. Most have been turned into defibrillator stations. The more you know.

Well they shouldn't because British pride haha (yeah the newer versions're two thirds German lol but it's still a British DESIGN at least, and there's nothing wrong with it now thanks to H&K); I just feel we should be using our own stuff as much as possible to keep our seperate identity, especially when it comes to the military, and I don't see what major advantages the C8 really has over the latest SA80A3's, as it's still firing the same cartridge using the same magazines and the same optics & accessories, the SA80 being a bullpup the overall size difference is marginal, and sure the C8's lighter but not THAT much lighter, if an SA80's too heavy for you at 11 pounds you need to get back in the damn gym lol, people griping about that should try a Lee-Enfield or SLR sometime. Think the only major insurmountable advantage is the non-transferable right-shoulder only thing, which IS a fair point. Frankly that never seems to have been that big of a problem in previous actual combat use of the SA80 though, not something I've heard many veterans grumble about including the ones that definitely DID have plenty of other grumbles about that poor much-maligned rifle lol. At the end of the day the way I see it most people ARE either right-handed or ambidextrous anyway, and if you need to lean out of cover to the left of a wall in an emergency that's when you just DO use it from your left shoulder and accept risking a bit of hot brass hitting you because better that than actual enemy bullets

I guess it was essential in WW2 hence the tunnels. Was ofc key for the 'empire' in trading routes. Like Falklands I believe the inhabitants wish to remain British despite being closer to other big nations. Find that odd but then i've never been there so I can only imagine it's for cultural reasons.

There are 34 miles of tunnels. A number are still in use by the military

thanks dude!

@@CombatArmsChannel No problem brother 😎👍🏻🇬🇧

The Royal Marines took the rock and held it against the Spanish

I like that. We have some too. They’re called Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam. My home state of Florida deserves an honorable mention too.

Same in the UK

I hate that. In my country most people always say England in contexts like WWII or Brexit.

I agree, as a Welsh man myself it's something that's really irritating, we are supposed to be a union not England and the 3 lesser not worth mentioning countries

@@vanman7519 To be fair, the attitude from Scotland these days, and less so Wales and NI, of sticking the middle finger up to the UK and the Union Flag, they kind of bring it on themselves to be seen as disassociated with the Kingdom. Not saying I like it that way or want it that way, as I love the UK and it's beautiful nations, I just think that's how it looks at the moment.

@@EvenWaysMusic No that's not the reason ,but it's cute that you think the world pays your country that much attention.

@@akewlen2888 I think you're on a totally different page mate lol

The book about them operating in East Germany during the Cold War is fantastic.

@@DavidUKesb I read the BRIXMIS book by Steve Gibson last year, truly incredible work they did back then.

And a shorter one that might make a good reaction clip 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qT_u5FcZLZQ.html

hahaha i thought the same thing

The Rock is practically a fort after Churchill made some adjustments

@@oldgreggscreamybaileys6618 I mean, wasn't it always a fort?

@@Damo2690 it was but during WW2 it was turned in to a fort inside a fort, with 34 miles worth of tunnels cut in to the rock. If you would like to know more here’s a link that has a lot more detail about the rock during WW2 gibraltar.com/en/travel/see-and-do/history-and-heritage/world-war-2-tunnels.php

Also renovated and used as defibrillator stations.

Also WiFi hotpots and I've seen Internet linked devices in some.
