US Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon going viral again

After going viral 3 years ago and then going dormant, a video of the U.S. Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon is making its rounds on the internet once again GLITTA.tv reports.

The video was taken April 2001 at the Pepsi Center in Denver when the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon performed during half-time at an NBA game.

The amazing precision each Marine has while marching in uniform is something that the internet has positively responded to — with even better responses than the first time it went viral.

In fact, one comment on YouTube said the performance was a "better half time show than you would see at [the] Super Bowl," without any chances of wardrobe malfunctions.
