K’s Royal Marines have reportedly handed a decisive defeat to their US counterparts during exercises in California’s Mojave Desert, with the Americans losing so badly they had asked for a time-out halfway into the mock battle.

A commando of Royal Marines deployed to the US Marine Corps facility in Twentynine Palms last month for Green Dagger 2021 exercises, among other things in order to test a new force structure. After training with the Dutch, Emirati and Canadian colleagues, they were pitted against the USMC in a five-day fighting exercise.

The 40 Commando proclaimed on Saturday they were “victorious,” offering no further details.

Victorious! 🏆 triumph in part of multinational team on Exercise Green Dagger 21. The 5-day Multi-domain war-fighting exercise concluded with an epic close quarters finale in Mojave Desert.

There was an exercise where they ran out of bullets, so they were instructed to point their fingers and their opponents and yell "Bangety bangety bang!"

One hard charger tried it, and to his amazement the supposed enemy started dropping like flies.

"Bangety bangety bang!" he shouted as he decimated the enemy. But one soldier wouldn't fall down. He kept advancing on our hero, knocked him down and walked across him, stepping on his stomach and face.

As the enemy soldier walked on, our hero could hear him saying "Tankety tankety tank!"
