Watch: Marines Rock Out to Britney Spears in Afghanistan
The latest military viral video making its way around the web is a lip dub set to Britney's "Hold It Against Me" from our men and women in uniform in Afghanistan.
Britney has given it her endorsement: "I am in LOVE with this ... I always knew our soldiers were fierce! Thanks for everything you guys do."
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...
this just makes me happy and proud. those kids are a long way from home; and, somehow, this gives me the sense that they have strong camaraderie. Great to see them having a moment of self expression and creativity. Proud.

proud and sad. I felt some sadness because most are just kids.

At least it's nice to know that gays aren't the only ones with horrible taste in music. #equality!

I'm the biggest gay guy out there but the women in that video are so awesomely hot I can't stand it. I didn't even notice the guys. How cool are those women?

Very impressive that in the middle of what they are going through, they can keep it together enough to do something so fun!

@Houston,
There's a lot of down time actually.

I think it's better than the original! Certainly less product placement...

Go Marines! ... and thanks to all the rest of our brave men and women in the military.

DADT factored in, the irony is almost as rich as straight guys drunkenly dancing to "YMCA" at their own weddings.

That picture just screams "GUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRLLLLL!" to me. ANd pretty much everyone else who's seen it.

If their career as Marines don't work out, they could contact Britney Spears and give her a lesson in lip-synching, seeing that they probably sang as much as she did in her stage performances of the song so far.

They all dance and lip synch better than Brit Brit.

YAY, MARINES! Glad you guys can have a break to fool around in all the chaos in misery over there. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard service! AWESOME WORK!
