Was an honor to serve alongside GySgt Wallgren and being present when he gave this speech before we headed into Marjah
Afghanistan was *INVADED* by the United States before even attempting to prove what caused the *TOTAL* collapse of the WTC 1 and 2 buildings and the murder of hundreds of innocent people including 60 police officers and 343 firemen.
That's heavy
Seemed like a strong man. But a damn funny man.

Respect to you brother
This is what a senior NCO is supposed to sound like.
this was such an awesome speech. the change of pace in the middle was great
This dude was my company Gunny when I went through ITB back in 2006. He never told this story, but he’d always be there telling “Little Johnny stories” the nights we slept in the field drinking coffee shooting the shit with fire watch.
Best memories ever
This shit motivated the living fuck out of me, brought me back to my days in the military. In my current job Ive said fuck 38 times during a meeting because of good leaders like this. They don’t make leaders like him anymore.
I agree, I watch these videos because it shows what a leader should be and for points to take away for my intended career. The one thing I see is personability and BELIEVING what you say when you speak from the heart. As simple as it sounds it's very rare
This speech is a legendary one to this day. God bless all soldiers who aren't afraid to let em' have it.
I miss Gunny, I was part of the take down of the last, and biggest stronghold known as Marjah. The initial push was great, we were making progress, conducted Electric ⚡️ warfare to disable most IEDs. The we had an Army special forces (SF10)to the north of the city. They were being overrun by the Taliban. We have to pick a few of our guys from each team and create a QRF and save their asses. It was a good fight for sure.
Semper fi brother I was 1/6 B company after your time though. 2017-2021
Rip Anthony mulhstadt . I’ll always love and remember for your speech
The night before my Marine tank platoon went into Kuwait in Desert Storm our Platoon commander a Captain Wallace read a short speach to us. All I remember is he said we were not fighting for America or the Marine Corps but for 2nd Platoon! My goal was to live thru the 1st 24 hours as we had been told that due to the Iraqi minefields and fortifications we would be combat inaffective after 24 hours due to casualties. The minute we came thru the minefields the Iraqi grunts started surrendering. We did take some artillery fire and had a few short fire fights and a couple of tank fights but all in all it wasnt that bad for war.
We ran logs for em during this Push. To the fallen, till the pearly gates. To the living, live ur best life everyday. It was an honor serving with y’all. Semper Fi
We're you RCT? We were south with 2/2, curious if you ran to FOB Delhi, maybe knew our guys up there,y best friend
I can watch this over and over again.
Still remember that night like it was yesterday. And how freezing cold it was sitting in that field after the helos dropped us off.
wow you were really there?
@@BudgetGainsByJJ I was, even crazier that it was over 14 years ago last month
@@muddyram I know war is bad, I can’t imagine the suffering you had to endure fighting there, but seriously being with your fellow marines at a time like this must had been epic! This speech speaks volumes of what the marines and the marine corps have and continue to do for the US. I’m not from america and unfortunately we don’t have a marine corps, marines are a unique breed. Thanks for your service and god bless brother.
@@BudgetGainsByJJ I appreciate that. The brotherhood was definitely one of the best parts of it all. Gunny Walgren had some other speeches and moments that were way better than this too. Guy is awesome.
Angry Mobile, best back up in time of need! Thank you.
I was always out trying to be every place you could be to help you fuckers
Marjah was taken due to hatred of Howard metzenbaum
Bless you all
Being a Gunny was the best job I ever fuckin had and will have ever had.
Yes it sure was. Sgt and GySgt was a blast
@@hornacek1 that’s valid too. When I was a sergeant, most of my time was at a section off the beaten path, with 6 other sergeants. And that whole cliche of “ get a bunch of X rank in a room and they become LCpl’s”
@@ZOIMIBiIE that works for every rank 100% haha. Shit the day I retired the last thing I did in front of 1,000 people was shotgun a beer lol
@@hornacek1 Being a First Sergeant was pretty ok at times. But being a "Master Guns" had it's good points as well...Such as mind fornicating with "butter bars" new to the Fleet...* Evilly grinning*
Ooooh Rahhhhhh!!!!❤
This GySgt is badass. I like people that keep it real.
It’s what made this country possible
I was there it was great!
That was awesome man! Wow incredible speech, (I’m not American) but thank you for your service!… true warriors
Did you ever cross paths with Brian McNamara RCT-7 Motor-T out of 29 palms?
Here I'm watching this again
I’m here after a jocko podcast
The poor combat camera guy 😅
Semper Fi do or die!!
The greatest speech of the afghan war! This one hits!!! Yes we aren’t ww2 vets but this gunny shows we still have love for the USA!
Does anyone reading this remember Brian McNamara RCT-7 Motor-T out of 29 palms?
My co Gunny would always say “well gents, we’re going to Disney land for adults” before one of our Afghan pumps, but eventually someone leaked pictures of him wearing high heels and women lingerie, so he never even made it there haha. He went to Disney land for unbecoming and other than honorable discharges. Which is probably in like Missouri or North Dakota.
Umm, Mr. Putin are you tuning in? 3rd MEF 25th Marines.

Matthew Hormacek communists lol
