Troops overseas are generally expected to keep their heads down and do their jobs. But every once in a while, some military leaders decide to let their Joes and Jills take a break from work and put together some of the hilarious videos they see on the internet.
Typically, this includes a bunch of troops dancing and singing along to a popular pop song. There’s also the occasional motivational speech (such as number 2 on this list where U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Brian Walgren gave a paraphrased speech from Col. John Glenn) that goes viral.
Just a warning, most of these viral videos include adult language.
In no particular order, here are seven of the bests viral videos from troops overseas:
1. U.S. troops perfectly recreate Miami Dolphin cheerleaders lip syncing to “Call Me Maybe”
2. Gunnery Sgt. Brian Walgren motivates Marines before they assault Marjah
3. Marines in Iraq sing “Hakuna Matata” before the gym
4. Marines sing (part of) “Build me Up, Buttercup”
5. Paratroopers lip sync “Telephone”
6. A bunch of Marines coming home sing “Sweet Caroline” to their flight attendant named Caroline
7. Navy and Marine medical unit performs “Gangnam Style” dance
