Marines bring Britney Spears' 'Hold It Against Me' to Afghanistan desert in YouTube video
What do U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan do when they have a little bit of spare time on their hands?
They cover Britney Spears, of course.
In this YouTube video, Marines in Afghanistan do their best impression of Spears as they lip-sync her single, "Hold It Against Me" -- dance break included.
The platoon has also offered versions of Miley Cyrus' "Party In the U.S.A." and Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls."
In a teaser video, the Marines announce they plan on covering Diddy-Dirty Money's smash, "Coming Home" -- appropriately pegged as their last video before they end their tour and return to the U.S.

Thank you so much, Never in our wildest dreams did we ever imagine our video would go this far. We just wanted to bring a little cheer to the familys back home! We hope that people continue to watch our videos and we pray for a safe return for all men and women serving over seas. We also hope that the familys back in Jacksonville, NC are ok!

This is excellent and cracked me up. However, don't be surprised when someone in Marine Corps 'leadership' freaks out and comes after these guys.
