It's a bunch of action scenes of vehicles - aircraft, tanks, etc. - and they all just poof into a cloud of dust.

What the hell is that supposed to represent.

Oh apparently it's like two years old, I just never saw it before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMqmP5C5WHI

Watching it, it feels almost like the point is that Marines don't need Ospreys and amphibs, just Marines... But it's a weird message to send since they wouldn't be where they are without those things. And those things are actually carrying people onboard so they're just being Philadelphia'd to another space and time?

Marines are known for usually being the first ones in and the last ones out

so even when all that fancy stuff is gone, youll still find marines there

idk, maybe thats what theyre implying?

That seems like the most rational.

But it also makes these things look really vulnerable. I wouldn't want to ride in something that's going to just disappear in a cloud of dust.

Ironically the Marines are the only of the branches that aren't fielding an e-Sports teams because they don't want to "gamify" war.
