I guess he means "Hoo-ah"!

"Urrah" is russian, but "Hoo-ah" is the american expression (started by the Marines, but nuw also used in the Army etc)...

iwo jima.

Not sure in where this thread is going.

There are multiple theories where hooah originated. First thing:
Army: Hooah
Marines: Oorah

Some possible theories...

During the attacks on normandy in '44, an Asst. General was surveying the beach while looking for the 2nd Rangers. He asked a Ranger where their CO was and they pointed him out. When he was going to the CO, the Asst. General said "Lead the way, rangers!". The rangers comically replied with "Who, us?" -- but the general thought they said "Hooah". He was impressed and started spreading the word.

In Vietnam, a popular way of saying "yes" by the vietnamese was saying "u-ah". The US soldiers adapted this by saying "u-ah" everytime they were told to do something -- it was like slang.

As far as the Marines saying "Oorah", I read somewhere that the reason for this was that many Marines were medevaced to Australia during the war in the Pacific vs the Japanese. Apparently, Oorah is a slang term in Australian that means "farewell" or something like that.

Navy seals says Hoo-Yaa . and the army hooah , as i know..

This should do...
