A bargain for the nation...

Want to see a part of your government that actually works?  Check this out.
"The Corps draws off less than 8 percent of Pentagon spending, including Marine aviation funded through the Navy, Robling said. “For that piece of the budget, the nation gets 19 percent of its tactical helicopter force, 12 percent of its tactical fixed-wing aviation and 30 percent of its maneuver battalions,” he said, in a speech before the national sea services advocacy group."
Seems like anyone with common sense would want to see this type of saving/return on investment from all parts of the US government.

But no.

Instead they bitch.

AMAZING.

  1. We just deal better with less, but even then we still wast money on things, and we need to.get back to our roots and start being accountable for what we do have. To many marines have taken advantage of our time of plenty and are seeing the fruits of that now.
