we don’t have enough military. we had to pull those Marines from other places they were needed. how tragic for America to be always playing catch up. I can remember when we set the bar. But now we sit AT the bar instead throwing parties for Gladys Knight one week and motown the next...turning the white house into a sleezy place

I’m 72, and we have been playing catch up all of the last century and this century.
My Dad was a WWI Vet, he and his fellow vets were drafted from their farms/ranches/stores/wherever to fight a German professional army. That was a big catchup.
I’m 72, and my first real memory was Pearl Harbor another example of catchup. Then came the NK invasion of SK and then the ChiCom invasion of Korea.
The cold war got hotter and about exploded with the Cuban Crisis and that evolved into the Viet Nam war. I was on active duty during those two catchups.
Then the Islamofascists took over Iran and we have been catching up since then.
9/11 was another catchup.
Now we have Libya, Egypt and most of the middle east/North Africa getting ready to explode.
This part of your reply is the big difference and danger with the thugs of 0b0z0 in charge.

There is always a Battalion Landing Team afloat in the Mediterranean Sea.
All that needed to be done was tell the Admiral in charge of the fleet to direct it to Libya.
The Marines are in there 24/7/12
