If there’s one thing you need to be in the US Marines – aside from a buzz cut and a girlfriend named Cindy – it’s to be competitive.
So when said marines took on some kids in Japan with Nerf guns the outcome was predictable: they utterly destroyed them.
The Marines used their superior equipment (riot shields!) and the fact that the children simply had no grasp of even the most basic military tactics (the idiots) to run riot and crush their pitiful enemy like a soggy cardboard box.
The exercise was an attempt to teach the kids the importance of team work and training but we suspect the US military may be preparing for a full scale invasion Disneyland.
(Apologies for the audio, but don't forget: this is war!)
