The “Military Performing Pop Sensations” meme is apparently still going strong, and it appears that our troops become better and better performers with every new viral hit. After releasing breathtaking renditions of Lady Gaga‘s “Telephone” and Ke$ha‘s “Blah Blah Blah,” the latest single to come out of Afghanistan is Britney Spears‘s “Hold It Against Me”: an impressively elaborate affair.

This time it’s not the Army, but the 266 Rein Marines who put together the video– replete with all sorts of military vehicles, charming hip thrusts atop sand dunes, breathtaking locales and a couple of phallic symbols to stay true to the original artist– who publicly expressed her praise via Twitter:

There’s even a dance club reenactment– with glowsticks! Let’s just say the Old World should be very happy that American doesn’t send its troops to compete in Eurovision, because if this is any indication, their professional pop stars wouldn’t stand a chance.

The delightful video below:

Awesome video from our troops. Awesome of Brittany to praise them and let her music spread on youtube. She could choose to be like MOST and not let her music be used because of copyright infringement. Kudos to all involved.

—How were your tax dollars spent doing this? This is why better than building a state of the art teacher’s lounge for those “poor” dedicated professionals making $65,000+ a year PLUS PENSION!

Frankly, I think Britney Spears should reward these soldiers by performing live from them in Afghanistan.

Shame on you for hating the military.

Yes, this is where our tax dollars go. What kind of job do you have where you work 24 hours a day. it’s called down time and you should be thankful.

Thank you, I was mocking people who cry for frivolous funding cuts such as NPR and Planned Parenthood as if it was actually about cutting the deficit.

I’ll rest well tonight knowing Spears’ backup dancers are spreading democracy around the world.
This should really put the fear into the Taliban.

Time to end this charade in the Middle East.
This ain’t no victory dance.
