It is. 1st tanks bn debt theirs to the army.
I heard of and spoke with quite a few marines that were getting out because of the drawbacks. They signed up to kill hadji, and since the military wouldn’t deploy them much anymore, they got out.
The proliferation of good anti-tank missiles and recoilless rifles may spell the end of the traditional uses of armor. Same with attack choppers.
Everybody likes “Light” until the shrapnel starts flying.
“These helmets are heavy.”
“Tanks are expensive compared to an Infantry Soldier.”
All true.....until the shrapnel starts flying where you are at.
They need something on our southern border. What we have is not stopping the invasion.
Is this the same woke democrat in a uniform with stars who banned any sign of the Old South? He’s reorganizing so as to better support the forthcoming democrat firearms confiscation program.
“law enforcement units were slashed as part of the plan. Marines in those jobs are being told to find new military occupational specialties, or MOSs; consider another service; or opt to end their careers earlier than planned.”
Just in time to join the new private protection forces for America’s elites, who are getting rid of the city/county paid cops, and hiring their own protective security forces.
Lets see, maternity tank overalls, changing tables inside the tanks, more feminine helmets, a ‘period couch’ to lie down in, etc. etc.
Any Chinese Communist Party ships show up for the surplus tanks yet ?
That’s going to be a culture shock for a while.
Good question about the equipment...
Marines are going to also kill off artillery.
Wonder if Stumps will close, though I think it is now used for multi-service training.
Stumps = 29 palms California - Marine Artillery base in the middle of nowhere low desert...
not every Marine had the privilege of serving at Stumps and participating in grab-ass Thursdays.
Semper Fi.
The Pentagon, etc. supposed leaders are purposefully further weakening our military under the guise/LIES of “strengthening” it, etc.
A lighter, expeditionary force, eh?
In reading that, I see the recurring idea of ‘a firefighter’, as was thought after WW1. The idea of global combat, or 2 ocean war, was not yet realized.
They CIA and Pentagon, etc. will give the weapons, equipment, etc. to foreigners that the CIA and Pentagon, etc. are going to have take out our military Completely.
Anyone else feel like it’s the late 1930s and Stalin has just purged the military and reduced its effectiveness?
why do i think both sides are in for a hugh culture shock?
There are many ways to destroy the military and we see a lot of them in use now.
Hi.
I hope you are doing well.
Imho, ya got to have tanks, arty, Grunts, and most important air dominance.
The only way an adversary stops you is if they have tactical nukes.

Another business the Marines are gone from. I don’t know it’s exact specialty title but they will no longer be running wire for field communications. It’s all wireless now.
