Jonathan sent me this article on the killing of the EFV from the New York Times...read the whole thing here, but this portion caught my attention...
Navy officials have suggested that Marines would only undertake assaults after enemy defenses had been largely subdued through weeks of bombing by ships and planes. But retired Marines say it is naïve to think that the military would always have such a luxury of time or that bombing works that well.My first impression when I read that was WTF?! And my second was...what office was putting this out? Which part of the Navy has declared war on the Marine Corps? The article did not name officials but I'm definitely trying to find out. More later.
