Japanese Work Alongside Marines for San Clemente Island Exercise. video by LCPL Reel.

NOTE:  I wasn't going to post this video, but it points out what appears to be a culture problem that I didn't see coming to the Marine Corps.

Do you see all that banter?  Have you seen how the General running that MEB has been grabbing as much screen time as possible?  Have you noticed that same General sounds more like a Senators Aid than a warrior?

My first thought was "Chesty would fuck these bastards up" if he was around today.

My second was...how did the Marine Corps become a place where a soft spoken Marine General (that sounds more comfortable at cocktail parties than battlefields) could rise in rank.

More than ever we need a reformer like Conway, Krulak, Gray or Jones as the next leader of the Marine Corps.  More later.
