Mexican Marines & general pics ( updated)

G.A.F.E.S., could you please reduce the size of those pics in the future. Many fit fine in my 17" screen at 1024x768 but the majority require me to scroll all over the place to see them and you lose alot of the effect in doing that.

Thankyou for not just picking on Americans in that post. When I first started reading, I thought it was going to be just about Americans, but then you went on.

Yeah, at fist I was only going to write a post insulting the nationality of the poster of the first "joke", then decided to make fun of my double nationality aswell :lol:

:shock: Well damn, I couldn't be anymore amazed at how much more modernized the Mexican Military has been for the last decade, thought their army as smaller than Switzerland's and technologically worse than the Thailand Army but today, I have been quite denied. :roll: Hah, so how do you say "Semper Fi" in Spanish?

Has anyone seen the movie Once Upon A Time In Mexico?

The mexican military comes across as being stuck in the WW2 era (uniform and vehicle wise), except that they use M-16s and I think I saw a HMMWV somewhere.
 
Thanks to everyone for the comments.

Strange that the Special Forces parade along with the conventional troops. No face blurring or black boxing either heh. I guess the protection of identity of the SF operators isn't an issue in Mexico.
 
I guess that offers some level of protection. Though you dont see much of SF parading in other countries, they're always kept secret. Like, SEALs never show their faces, SAS even less, same goes for the Russian "Alpha" groups either. You'd never see them parading in a show of force.
But great pictures noneetheless, thanks for posting them, always interesting to see other countries' military might.

Mexican Commandant

The Commandant of the Mexican Marines was at our base two days ago. He witness our "eagle, globe and anchor ceremony" which is the final moment when recruits transform into U.S. Marines after completing the dreaded CRUCIBLE. BGen Salinas was taking him and a group of his staff around the Recruit Depot in San Diego then up to Camp Pendleton for the Ceremony.
