[QUOTE="Logan2003Cobra, post: 16265187, member: 17851"] Hollywood likes to play things up... the Marine yell "hoo-rah" (not to be confused with the Army's "hoo-ah" or the Navy's "hoo-ya") is more of a recruiting or marketing thing... you're likely to hear Marines grunt "err-ah" but it's more of a respectful "what's up" or "that was bada$$" than saying "hoo-rah" or barking. I was never in combat so I can't speak from experience but during training guys would certainly give loud guttural yells while attacking or advancing which you did see Punisher doing on the show. Something else to consider; there is a certain level of confidence building / brainwashing that takes place which is why certain members of the military are so cocky. You have to believe that you are either invincible, or the only one capable of defeating the enemy... how else would you convince someone to advance directly in to enemy fire where it's more likely than not that they are going to die. Also consider the psychological effect it has on the enemy to know that it doesn't matter how many Marines you've killed... they keep advancing and screaming bloody murder along the way. The Marine nickname Devil Dog came from Germans during World War II. The Germans had a strong defensive position with better numbers and eventually retreated after experiencing this exact thing.
