"Absolutely, die in a ditch, we need this airplane."-Gen Amos, Commandant of the Marine Corps.Uh. Wow.
I mean geez. I wonder if his wife ever heard him speak with such emotion when he talks about her.
I've never heard him express the same thoughts about the need to keep strong infantry battalions...to get the amphibious combat vehicle...etc. Marine Corps procurement is jacked up because leadership has a myopic view of things. Future Marines will suffer because of the failings of the current Commandant.
Die in a ditch because we need this airplane? You first sir. I'd rather get what we can afford and live to fight another day.
