Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today.

British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.

The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.

An interesting report of a recent training exercise. Surprised to see such detail reported.

Yes, but our force was more diverse than theirs.

Yes, but did they have any four star “female” admirals with balls?

Yikes!

“Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be ‘reset’ halfway through.”

Dresses probably got in the way while tripping over diversity training manuals.

That’s because we didn’t deploy our trannies.

The Brits threw the Americans totally off guard. The Brits aggressively misgendered the American soldiers who melted down when the Brits deliberately used the wrong pronouns and gender labels.

OK, now let’s do Regular Royal Marines against US Navy Seals, or Force Recon. Bet the results would favor the special forces, just like this time...

Why were they having this?

Is it normal to have this type of exercise?

The solution to this problem is simple. Do not invite the Royal Marines or their allies to any more training exercises. Instead invite a more “woke” force. Maybe they should challenge that Chicago museum that fired all their white staff members.

'The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US'

That's usually how France was stopped back in the day. Throw several nations at them, and eventually they won.

Seems like typical red/blue team stuff. Happens all the time. Great bonding for all.

Now the important question. Was everyone “fully vaxxed”? Or was a vax cert required to play?
