Tip of the spear?

Future role leading US Marines?

Fuck that.

Break the fucking spear.

If I was in charge for just 10 seconds I'd dial up US Army Special Forces and tell them that I've got a deal for 'em.

Let's team up.  Let's work together.  This chest thumping from across the water is annoying as hell.

I don't think we need them.  We can make do with assets in house.  From the SEALs to Special Forces.  We don't need Royal Marines "tip of the spear" bullshit infecting an already weakened Marine Corps spirit.
