Damn straight...I always like to give Army types a ribbing about holding
territory that us Marines take from the enemy, but on Okinawa, it was not
the case. Give your friend my best.

That’s the problem. Marine Corp is working several programs that give them more firepower but the systems have to be portable to get them into the fight. Tanks are heavy and hard to get onto islands.

This is one of the Marine Corps smaller, multi role efforts.
