US Army Vet Reacts To "Barby Wars - America Dismantles Pirates For Touching Boats | Fat Electrician" 

Literally met a guy from Morocco the other day & half way through me saying that they had the longest treaty w American out of anybody, he finished what I was saying for me. & that they were the first to recognize the USA. Was very proud for his country to have the longest treaty w the US ever. Awesome moment, would have never happened without the fat electrician educating me

The Treaty with Morocco is still in effect and has lasted the many transatlantic stresses and strains for 239 years.

The US navy hates pirates so much in 2007 we saved a North Korean ship from them (dai hong dan incident)

Fat electrician literally started the “don’t touch our boats” meme

I don't know what I was expecting, but the Navy being created to fight pirates sounds about right. 😂

"Marines wouldn't board with muskets because they're one and done." Firstly, they were rifles. During ship to ship combat, Marines acted as marksmen, firing from the masts down onto the enemy's decks. Secondly, we still do bayonet drill to this day. A Marine with an empty weapon is not unarmed. Back then, this left them with a six foot steel weighted brass butted spear club. And what if a Marine lost his rifle in the melee? Transition to cutlass and pistols. "Buh! But pistols were one shot!' Which is why they were also designed as eighteen inch steel weighted brass capped clubs to pare with a sword.

Marines are "Leather Necks" for a reason. "Semper Fi!"

It doesn't matter what country you're from it's always astonishing to me how badass men and women were in the 1800s and early 1900s

It really is kinda crazy just how many historically significant events happened in such a relatively short period of time.

"Peace through superior firepower."

Don't Touch Our FUCKING Boats

that burn by his wife hurt us all

The Marine Corp does not need permission from congress and that's why the Marines are always their first in any situation.

The collar on the Marine Corps dress blue coat is a tribute to those leather collars that earned us the nickname of "Leatherneck".

with a personality like the Fat Electrician, did anyone expect a ducal wife??? LMAO my wife is the same way

Virginia Hall; The Limping Lady....by Fat Electrician. Watch that one.

Another great reaction to one of the best storytellers in the world. 😀 And Mrs. Electrician? Savage. Love it. 😀 And, as I said earlier today on an older video, Ramage's Rampage for the best commercial from Nic yet. 😀And a hell of a great story too, as always. 🙂

Casablanca makes sense now

Just remember, the last time someone touched our boats, we dropped the sun on them. THE FUCKING SUN! TWICE!!!!

Obviously,the Somali pirates didn't get the memo.. Capt. Philips Maersk Alabama April 2009

Now THIS is how you could have got me to pay attention in history class! Wtf!? How is this not a movie already?!

3 things to know about the US. don't touch out boats, don't touch our islands (giving Japan the side-eye), and you do not insult the Marine corps around the Navy....or vice versa.

STOP TOUCHING THE BOATS!!!!!

Original reason why you don't attack Americans boats

They made the mistake of leaving us to make our way back to them. Like you said, they should have stomped on us while we were weak. However, they gave a chance to show our indomitable will for a second time in quick succession to the last. It would shape and establish our core identity as a nation and a people, what we stood for and would not stand for! Sic Simper Tyranus!

One of the best!!!

My Parents immigrated to the US from Morocco and I have searched up so much nuanced facts about the US and Moroccos relationship that all of my friends and classmates have 50x the regular amount of knowledge of Morocco than the average person

Honestly I'm going to say is damn she just cooked them

One of the unintended consequences of the treaty with Morocco is that there is now a group called the Moorish Sovreign Citizens who claim the treaty gives them unique rigths in the USA.

To be fair almost every naval force in the world since the dwan of time was founded to fight against pirates, raiders, and brigands.

For all of the shit that John adams gets, him becoming president is proof that the concept was possible. You had such different views being able to keep eachother at bay and make the country act when best possible.

If anyone ever asks the American military, "Why are you the way that you are?" they ought to look into the Barbary Wars, which basically founded several core tenets of our military, including, but not limited to: giant budget, "proportional" responses to messing with our boats, not negotiating with terrorists, special operations missions, and toppling foreign governments we don't like.

I don't want to be a party pooper but it was the Dutch Republic who first recognised the USA. Morocco was the first to sign an official treaty.

It's the Barby wars in a Barby world.....

Hate to be pedantic, but the entire U.S military machine, not just the marines or navy have been used without congress approval in recent years.

I was absolutely in LOVE with Decatur after watching this! 😍💘💋💋💋

When are guys going to do The Eager Beavers - Old 666?

The US invaded Marocco during ww2 when they where part of Vichy France

I think he chewed 5Gum that time.

Didnt watch initially, thought it was about China counterfeiting barbie dolls or something.

He actually left that dis from wife in?

My friday just got a whole lot better 😮

how did they figure 300 years of tributes is cheaper than a one and done war? lol. Sure, maybe cheaper up front, but long term? I doubt it. the french spanish and brits couldnt team up and obliterate them?

Anybody get the star trek origin story reference

Leeroy Jenkins

Oh for the love of...... It's Barbary! My country didn't fuck up legions of pirates for disagreements about what clothes look better on a plastic doll! D:< (This about the title which at the time of writing this comment has a typo)

I like how when he talks about the war of 1812 he says it just ends rather than America loses. Haha
