US Marine Raiders: the Origin of "Gung Ho" (10min)

submitted by BoneyD

1 decade 6 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

The US Marine Raiders were the first force formed for the specific tasks of raiding and guerilla warfare. They focused on high quality training, and a unique ethos in their operation as a team. The term Gung Ho was originally adopted by this unit, with a somewhat different meaning than we would know it today.

I always loved the body-carpet (laying on the concertina wire) or the rifle stairs tricks.
I feel like a boyscout whenever I compare myself to these heroes.

Great sift. Thanks.

Yeah, I asked a Marine buddy of mine, "Who actually does that body-carpet stuff?" Without breaking stride or cracking a smile, he said, "Privates."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, with body armor the only shitty part is getting stepped on - and un-snagging yourself after.
