The reason why Russia fears 330 Marines

from Mandatory Fun · host Orvelin Valle

Norway recently invited 330 U.S. Marines to its country for winter warfare exercises and Russia went all nuclear over it. Frants Klintsevitsj, the deputy chairman of Russia's defense and security committee, said on national TV that a nuclear strike was on the table over the Devil Dog deployment. But how much damage can 330 U.S. Marines and their personal gear do? We did a little research, and it turns out Russia's response might have been spot on. Join us for an entertaining discussion of Marine Corps history and learn about its fearsome reputation.
