YAWN...typical CA/Navy logic.
FACT: Today's Terrorists/Uglies of the World do not reside on the water.
(Marines, of course, have been known to walk on water, if necessary.)
True, the Navy is sometimes necessary to drive us to the action, but you cannot get one of those huge ships to cruise over the deserts of Iraq or up the mountains in Afghanistan!!
That requires sand-eating, non-complaining determined types like our Devil Dogs to do the hard parts, alongside the Army.
The Navy lazes out there on the Big Water, polishing those Big Guns and weaving baskets or sumpin'..:))
Don't you worry - betcha Uncle TC croons The Marine Corps Hymn to Little Logan already, instead of Anchors Aweigh.....that little guy is in good hands!
Actually, Logan already hums the Marine Corps Hymn in his sleep.
I've been working on his cadence calling.
I don't know any of the new "politically correct" ones, so I've been teaching him the old, "Hey, little Jodie boy", verses.
I have to wait until his mommy and grandmommy are out of the room, though.
