Well, none of them can act, that's for sure. The Army has absolutely no clue how to promote/market itself unlike many of the other services. Honestly that was embarrassing.

It's a SHAME!

I might be the odd man out here but, I liked it.
I thought it was not only a great parody of the movie, but also very well made and edited.

I really don't think BG Clarke and CSM Duane joined the Army to be actors. I thought they both held their own very well for not being "professional" actors. Trust me, I've seen actors who call themselves "professionals", and can't act half a shit as BG Clarke and CSM Duane do in this video.

I will say, BG Clarke has got some awesome flexibility still. That was a hell of a kick.

CSM Rob Duane

Yep that is CSM Rob Duane, Corp of Cadets, CSM. He is doing a great job with the Cadets and representing us (SF) well.

Concur with PBR

PBR hit the nail on the head.... BG Clarke is hands down the best battalion commander I ever worked for... I was also in 3/504 PIR.
