The Marine Corps that you once knew is dead...outsourcing leadership training?

Welcome to this new pussified, silly Corps.  Thank you Amos, Dunford, Neller, Haynie, Ripley and USNI Blog.

You won.  I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor.  God knows that America won't...especially once this "new" Marine Corps gets its ass handed to it.
