What does this Marine Corps ad mean to you?

I saw this ad at the movie theater the other day before the previews. My initial thought was, "Did the Marines just give a big FU to Donald Trump?" But maybe that isn't the case. Maybe it is more symbolic? What do you think the Marines are going for with this ad?

Are you kidding me? You think this is related to "Trump?"

Dude, as an ex-service member, all I saw when watching this video is "nothing can stop the Marines." :roll:
 
I freely admit I may have too much Trump on the brain. :)
 
While any marine with half a brain is less than thrilled with the notion of a lunatic at the helm giving them their marching orders, I don't think this particular ad has anything to do with said lunatic.

Eh. Maybe. I don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard that the USMC attracts a lot of latinos. It could be a subtle nod to them.

Or it could be (and most likely is) just a coincidence. :shrug:
 
:lol: Surely this isn't a serious thread?

Trump formally announced his candidacy in June 2015. The ad was uploaded to youtube in March 2015 so it would be fair to suggest it was made prior to that unless extrasensory perception is involved.

Devil dogs with ESP? The Jihadists better watch out now!

Thought it was more of a Berlin Wall reference when I saw it

Good catch. I obviously didn't do my due diligence before starting this thread.

It's all good Bob and regardless of that it can still be an interesting topic for discussion based on what the advertisments message is and what we do know now regarding Trumps stance on his proposed wall.
 
I don't see any link to Trump, just an ad appealing to testosterone-charged young men. :mrgreen:

This is where my HIPOCRACY(sp) on illegals begins.

I have a cool DVD set called SHOOTOUT. When discussing Iraq and the Stan' almost 100% of the names of the heroes are Hispanic. That is just fine with me.

If I find an illegal dad and mom have one child or even more serving in OUR US military, I will shut up and look the other way.
La Familia is a pillar of Hispanic life & culture, and if they are willing to let their sons and daughters fight for this country, while spoiled rich kids sit home, I will not say one negative word to them. They know there MIGHT be a chance their blood could be killed, and are willing it take that chance.

The same chance ZERO of our Senators are willing to take with their kids.
