The Commandant. The new Apocalypse.

Rant.  So if you don't feel like hearing it, switch to a different post or blog.

I hate this Commandant.

He is so feminine it hurts.  He is such a brown noser its offensive.  He is so ineffective that any doubt that wearing stars is more an indication of being political than it has to do with being a REAL LEADER is swept away forever.

He is personally gutting the Marine Corps forward deployed Marine Expeditionary Units and making them nothing more than glorified 101st Airborne Units at sea with the capability to deliver meals.

That's it.

A fancy meal delivery system.

They might aid in disaster relief.  They might help out when it comes to doing "partnership" missions, but combat?  Forget it.

Now I know why he's pushing MARSOC so hard.  Now we know why he's a lap dog for SOCOM.

He doesn't view the MEU as a combat outfit.

At best its for combat support.

Yeah.  I hate the bastard. I really wish I could cut loose on him, but 8th and I is stationed too close to him.

We can only hope that the Marine Corps earns this badge and can claim to be a survivor of his leadership...'cause we're all up...
