This just another example of the “successful” transformation of the USA by Clown Prince nobama, the Malignant One.

Plenty of money for illegals and muslim “refugees...”

The never-ending quest by Navy brass for the latest, greatest, and most expensive toys which are neat on paper but worthless in practicality has cost the Marines and the regular Navy dearly. It is not all 0bama’s fault. The rest of the military is not much better off.

It is all going according to plan. Obama will destroy this country from within. Prayers for all in our brave Military.

If you all would remember we had these problems after the Viet Nam War. The democraps gutted everything military, & gave the monies to their favorite social blackhole program [sucks in everything with NO result/s] It was only with the election of President Regan that things started to turn around. And unfourently I do NOT see another Reagan in this election cycle! None of these people are NOT worthy of holding the office of the President of the United States.
This will be an election of the lesser of 2 evils, and that is still voting for evil!

This article just describes some of the problems with the Air Wing. Nothing about the problems retaining junior officers, nothing about the steadily reduced number and types of amphibious ships, the failed Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle project, the disappearance of naval fire support, and of course nothing about the Corps being forced to incorporate ladies into infantry combat.

The leadership of the Corps has focused on toys and face time and not enough on encroachment of missions by SOCOM or on readiness for the next arenas of warfare after Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's what happens when you have a promotion system that favors tall guys who don't make waves, never get in trouble.

Not to worry. The priority is women serving in Infantry units.
