The Royal Navy as we knew it is dead. It had a good run though...the USMC feels your pain!

Australian Combat UAV comes to America

I thought it was just an Obama administration thing, then I thought ok Biden is of the same ilk so they're doing it too. But the Trump admin with this tilt to Dept Of War from the Dept Of Defense has me spinning and I guess I'm the only one annoyed. Why did I bring this up? Because of the recent shift from UAV to UAS...the same nonsense with UFOs to the whatever they call it. Rebranding means you have nothing new! Just spicing up the old shit to make the bureaucrats feel good.

U.S. Marines, ROK Marines coordinate KAAV ship-to-shore movements

*Is the USMC even a branch of shooters? Or is it just a big ass ANGLICO coordinating fires? Every freaking press announcement is either them "coordinating with allies", "acting as the eyes and ears of the joint force" or and this is the one that makes me want to punch walls..."sensing and making sense". Tell me you've gone from the bullshit of being a "second land army" (especially when that IS EXACTLY what the nation called on the force to be...) to institutionalizing your own irrelevence in the future. How long will it be before some bean counter says "wait a minute" they're just doing what our sats and recon aircraft and drones do", why the fuck do we need the Marine Corps if those fucks don't pull triggers?
