I was unable to view the slide show in Safari on my MacBook Pro, but I was able to view it in Google Chrome on the same computer. Weird.
There are captions for each individual picture on the National Review site.

How could any enemy of the U.S. look on that and not know they are totally screwed?

Potential troop movement of close to 2,100 marines.

I suspect that is one of the reasons for the exercise.

When I was getting out in the early 90s they were having a lot of trouble with the Ospreys.
Looks like they’ve got the kinks worked out...

I’ve got to send this to some of my fellow retirees from Bell. Most of us had a hand in the development and production of the various versions of the V-22.

My sister-in-law was flown all over Afghanistan for years in one of those.

That’s one hell of a lot of “VERTICAL ENVELOPMENT”, especially considering the fire power it puts on the ground.

I look at them and see transportation for large numbers of congolese, venezualans, messycans............ all within the United States. Under cover of darkness. With no advance warning.

Few weeks back, had my first sighting of MV-22s going south along the coast from my house. H-60s are fairly common when an exercise is happening at Pōhakuloa.

How could any enemy of the U.S. look on that and not know they are totally screwed? Because they know our politicians are corrupt and/or anti-American and that the people, as a whole, are weak willed and soft. All the military might in the world is useless if a country does not have the fortitutde to use it in a forceful and moral manner.
