I understand old footage, I understand the Presidential address, and I appreciate the comments by the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

What on earth were all the star wars, transformers, mighty morphin power rangers, and other ridiculous things jammed in there supposed to be? It took a serious, dignified message, and turned it into a cartoon.

Probably goes along with the story of the young Captain with the Recruiting Command who previewed the once popular TV commercial which showed the Marine battling some firelike monster/demon on a bridge with the sword. The Commandant said 'I don't get it', the Captain's answer was 'Sir - you don't have to get it, you are not the target audience'

You may enjoy the actual video from the Marine Corps website that I added to the previous post.
