00:23Casualties are a part of war
00:25The marines know this well
00:27They have been trained to hit first and hardest
00:31But not every campaign goes as planned
00:35There are times when the opposition
00:37Lands its own crushing blows
00:39The marine corps prepares its ranks
00:42To handle setbacks
00:43And solve conundrums
00:45One order the marines never want to hear
00:47Is retreat
00:55Tajikistan is already a dangerous place
00:57The Chinese military poses an overwhelming threat
01:01But what the U.S. soldiers lack in numbers
01:04They make up for in resolve and wisdom
01:06It is their resolve that makes falling back a bitter choice
01:10It is their wisdom that makes it the right choice
01:14The men of the corps hate giving up an inch of ground to anyone
01:17In any situation
01:19They never think the odds are too great to be overcome
01:23They are conditioned to reject the notion of ever being outmanned or outgunned
01:37However, they are also pragmatic
01:39They are not here to fire blind shots in desperation
01:43Against an advancing enemy bringing impending doom
01:47They are here because they are tactical experts
01:50Adapted real-time evaluation of mission-critical objectives
01:54The marines know-how has been the undoing of many capable soldiers
01:59Each life holds too great a value in the bigger picture
02:03To ever waste it in a hastily planned ill-advised stand
02:16Instead, they patch their bruises and stitch their cuts
02:19They take stock of their opponents' strengths
02:22They take note of their shortcomings
02:25Once the appropriate solution has been plotted
02:28These fiery warriors smartly reinsert themselves back into the battle
02:32And when they do, those on the other end of marine rivals
02:37Had better be prepared to take hits of their own
