Kim,
I'm so glad you posted this!
As an ad guy, I saw this spot during the first half of the Pack/Giants game and said to myself, "That's really, really ballsy for the Marines and the U.S. gov't to basically take a good-natured shot at S.F."
It was, in a word, brilliant!

The Marines win in the end and SF leadership looks like just what it is, --------. Insert your own insult.

Nicely done, although I was hoping they would highlight the incredible team precision more than the commercial does. I saw them at 29 Palms in '72 or '73 and I was holding my breath during much of it. They really are incredible, especially to anyone who has had close order drill and knows how tough it is to get several dozen people to simply march in step let alone the sustained absolute precision movements that the Silent Drill Team does.
Anyone else ever hear the phrase, "Hippity hop, mob stop!!" ?

Remember, these are Marines PLAYING. This is what they do for FUN.
I almost said "imagine what they consider 'work,' but we don't have to imagine it. We've seen it.
Sometimes I wonder if we, as a nation, really deserve the Marines and their loyalty.

The Marines (and all who wear a US uniform) are this Nation... It's my hope that one day, we as a nation adopt the Marine motto..."No better friend, No worse enemy, You Choose...Choose wisely"... like written across the bottom of the US flag...just say'in

Sadly, SF is not the only little town with close-minded omphalopsychites. There are more than a few on the West Coast, just none as infamous. Well, there is Berkeley...
