ooh-rah. Fun to watch, wish it had delved further into the history. That show is one that always pulls me in if I'm channel surfing and run across it.

Chalk up another one who was bothered by the spelling. The clip was good though.

At least the piper was in tune...but Ermey's uniform is wrong. He has a full-length jacket and no sporran!

Actually, the long jacket was the dress uniform at the time. Nut I do agree with the lack of a sporran...

He looked great

He forgot to mention modern American (and Canadian, for our friendly neighbors to the north) forces that wear the kilt.

The Gunny is my hero!! His whole job is to yell a lot and blow things up!

His piper was wearing a leatherneck.

I thought so too until he passed on the haggis.

Just to fill in the blank here... The long dress jacket was the "day" wear uniform. The long tail of the jacket removed the need for a sporran, thus making it a casual uniform.
