Not at all.
The article specifically mentioned the US Army's difficulties in adopting the "expeditionary" approach to warfare. I was addressing the shortcomings that the article's author failed to mention. Two years later and it's no longer "expeditionary."
As a Marine Corps Viet Nam combat veteran, I think I can speak from experience.
I agree with you.
I know that my fellow Grunts and I wouldn't be alive today if not for the Army, Navy & Air Force support.
And as any good Marine knows, there's nothing like a good jock strap!
But if ya don't have the balls to put in it, it doesn't serve much purpose now does it! LOL

Be that as it may, there is one thing that the Army, Navy or the Air Force will never be able to Duplicate.
I cannot, and will not be able to "implement" the Esprit D Corps that has kept my Marine Corps kicking ass and taking names for over 200 years.
We have been and still are, the finest fighting force this world has ever seen. Bar none.
