SIDENOTE: This is just sad. First we had a Marine Corps journalist post a story that has the Marine Expeditionary Unit supporting the Maritime Raid Force and then we have this person proclaiming that the 31st MEU "leads humanitarian missions around the Pacific with the help of aircraft like the UH-1N helicopter"...she didn't even get the aircraft designation right in the caption to the video.
Its here....the USMC's forward deployed elements are now MEALS ON WHEELS. Put away the weapons. Close up shop. USAID can do this mission. Or the Salvation Army...or Catholic Relief Society or any of a number of other organizations. The pussification of the Marine Corps needs to stop. I can guarantee you this. Young men aren't joining the Corps to be part of a glorified relief society.
