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.
Why? Because I was there, and I was sitting in that Sh*thole for 8 months... waiting... and yes.. waiting for the Army to get all their boys up there for the flanking movement. So see.. you answered my question.. we did sit there and wait on the Army to mobilize. We (Marines) stay mobilized.
