"They were JUST as effective in Desert Storm."

Indeed. There's no all-weather, survivable, platform in the inventory or projected now. God help the Marines if they ever have to make another opposed landing, because air support is all they'll have.

Hang on there just a second...

The NGFS support provided by the "small boys" is still pretty good stuff...Maybe not the bang we'd like to see, but for the buck, I am sure there are a few Marines that love what is provided these days...

At least when we were just off the beach...I dunno about the pups these days...I hope they still practice it...
