I thought the father was an Army Ranger.
Is the son drawing retired pay from the Marines?
Sorry to nit-pick. I’m waiting for Spring Training to start and the snow to melt at Fenway Park.
As to the general point of the article, yes, I think that up-armored Amtracs at that price is a boondoggle. Put the Marines in additional Ospreys and practice some of that vertical envelopment. Land them on the beach if it makes them feel better.
The son Duncan Jr. is still in the Marine Reserves.
