Please don't play yourself.
If it is there, we'll aquire and exploit it...we're Marines.
We rely heavily on US Navy logistics as well...problem there? That is how the US Military is designed to operate...with the Marine Corps being the Hammer [Case in point: Fallujah].
Get over the schizophrenic, grasshopper mentality that displays itself with "Oh Yeah" statements and loaded questions.
No matter what tac you take. What avenue of approach you use...at the end of the day, we're still the ones titled: "Marines" ...and it's for a reason.
Again, you ignore the facts.
Nothing was meant to disparage ANYTHING about the USMC, especially on today of all days. But, the facts must presented as they are. I was replying to the article and some of the issues that it glossed over concerning "expeditionary" warfare and some of its drawbacks.
And, US Army Special Forces are part of the Army. They are soldiers. They're not Marines and you know that. Next, you'll want to claim the Airborne and Navy SEALs. Now, who's playing themself?
