"Marines have their own aviation corp."
A dwindling number of carrier-based F-18s and Cobras/Vipers off an LHD.
With no artillery/armor of their own.
And some day, maybe F-35s?
That's a heck of a lot of aircraft money for close air support.

F-35: "There's a smudge on the wing." "Okay, then it's totaled. Insurance will pay for it."
