This is the dramatic moment a group of Marines attempt to cross an expanse of water in an armored vehicle - and get absolutely drenched.
It is not exactly clear where the footage was captured, but the video apparently shows members of the United States Marine Corps approaching a river.
They appear to be driving a LAV, which is an eight-wheeled amphibious light armoured vehicle and should be capable of travelling through deep water.


At first they were like...


And then they were like...


And finally they were like...

I'd say the fact the driver is bailing out in midstream is not a good sign.

Not saying they're all like this, but all the marines I know (about 7 or 8) were dumbasses who got in a lot of trouble in HS who had no other options but to enlist.

They have the word "love" painted on their bushmaster?

No wonder this happened to them.

Marines, looking for a few good men because they don't have any.

The Brits in the comment section seem to have forgotten that we saved their asses twice (really three times) last century.

Funny stuff, OP.

I have met plenty that way, but the marines i know that is all totally different. One of them turned a landscaping company into a 6 figure business for him. Another is plainly brilliant. Two others were employees of mine, and both highly capable, sharp and motivated. One of those two into computer programming, but not just in title. He's got a real grasp on it.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but the marines I know are all certainly a cut above.

I might find this more amusing if a bunch of soldiers hadn't just drowned at fort hood. I would absolutely hate amphibious vehicles. MATV made
me feel somewhat claustrophobic after a sitting too long. I bet their platoon is still riding these guys about that.
