Marines are built different. This rooftop defense of a Marine Corps position located in the heart of Ramadi proves that starting a firefight with Marines in the defense is never a good idea.

If you've ever wondered why the Japanese Soldiers thought that Marines were hand selected from prisons and insane asylums, this footage pretty well sums it up. The mentality of a Marine is just different. They will literally shove each other out of the way to get into the best firing position that allows them to defeat the enemy, and they'll laugh and joke about it the entire time you're shooting at them.

This video is not a rare occurrence. Anyone who's been on a wall of Hesco barriers with Marines while they're under attack can attest to this fact. There is nothing more in the world that a Marine likes than to defend the location he sleeps at night. If you try to bring the fight to the Marines, they will literally laugh at you as they unload every thing they have in you general direction. Change the angle of attack thinking you have an edge on them? Nah, they'll all rush to that side of their position to continue shooting at you.

There might only be 12 Marines on post at any given location, but you can bet your life insurance policy that within 60 seconds, every Marine on that outpost will be shooting in your general direction in boxers and shower shoes.
