I found this video googling for silent drill video downloads to show my youth group, I'm giving a lesson over spiritual discipline and I couldn't think of a better example of strict discipline and the outstanding outcome than the USMC silent drill team! I wanted to say thank you, though, I love the military, but it can be an extremely harsh enviroment for a Christian. Reading the comments I was pleased see that no one used any curse words. I get tired of reading and hearing that type of language around my friends in the military, you gave my a refreshing feeling when reading those. Thank you.

I think it would be great for the military to have more interaction with civilians, but unless you're really lucky or got connections, it seems as though demonstrations like that are few and very far between. In DC during the summer there are apparently a lot of concerts and demonstrations, but the people of DC are probably less supportive of the military than the rest of the country (except maybe California). Even the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds tend to hit the same places every year. The taxpayers pay for all this, we should be able to see it.

I've seen several videos with the Platoon in it or even featured, but none of them show the entire routine. Especially the perspective directly behind the two Marines - it shows the symetry and accuracy perfectly. You've just made my day, Cpl M! Sooooo cool!!!
