HQMC should address the Daily Mail article about Royal Marines dominating the USMC....this is damaging especially with the divisions in the country (will be distasteful to some but a must read)
via American Thinker
The Marines occupy an almost mythic place in many Americans' minds as an invincible force that runs to the guns and fights no matter what. That's why it was so shocking to learn that, during a joint training exercise in the Mojave Desert, Britain's Royal Marines inflicted such a shellacking on the Americans that the latter had to surrender halfway through the exercise. This is a direct result of the Pentagon having gone woke under Obama — something that Trump failed to undo — followed by Biden doubling down on Obama's policies.
Marines used to be synonymous with dogged determination. Tripoli (1805), the Halls of Montezuma (1847), Belleau Wood (1918), Guadalcanal (1943), Iwo Jima (1945), Inchon (1950), Chosin Reservoir (1950), Khe Sanh (1968), Hue (1968), Fallujah (2004) — each of these names brings to us visions of Marines running to the gun, marching through the woods, slogging through the snow, fighting over volcanic islands, and never retreating, never stopping.
It would be helpful (I doubt it will happen) if the Royal Marines had the Daily Mail walk back the article a bit and barring that the 7th Marines PAO should add some important facts that were left out.

"The US learned that again this week – and the British commandos will be revelling in it"

About that Daily Mail article about the Royal Marines dominating a Marine Air Ground Task Force...
Thanks to JJ for the link!
MARSOC, V25, 3/11, 1st Anglico, and the UAE Presidential Guard were all fighting alongside the Brits. The British were great but not mentioning the other players seems a bit odd.

Royal Marines "dominate" US Marines
via Daily Mail
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.
----------
The Marines won decisive battles early on and gained ground from their enemy, but amid a US Marines counter-attack, commandos carried out raids behind enemy lines.
The exercise concluded with a last-minute assault by US forces, which was repelled.
'Our success has proved the new commando force concept is more lethal and sophisticated than ever before and I am immensely proud of every member of the LRG and their vital contributions,' said Lieutenant Colonel Andy Dow, Commanding Officer of 40 Commando.
