Being a former active duty Marine, I have nothing but respect for the Airborne and Rangers and SF of the Army, it is the REGULAR Army I have a problem with. In Somalia I had 2 Army dogs in one week come by our tent looking for their weapons, they had forgotten and left them hanging in the shitter. CLASSIC
Blow it out your ear. I don't know why you think the Marines had to wait for the Army in the Gulf War, but even if they did don;t you think it might have been because they had to manuver to pull off that flanking movement.
