U.S. Marines with 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division post security to secure U.S. Navy USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) in Los Angeles

Berger was quick to bounce Marine Corps Military Police, excuse me, Law Enforcement Battalions, from their role in this national drama and from the roster of the "new" Marine Corps.

1/4 is providing security to the Mercy?

Renaming themselves Law Enforcement Battalions, not finding an enduring role in the missions in the war on terror and not emphasizing (like Army MP's have) their wartime roles doomed them.

The weird/awesome thing?

1/4 will get it done and not miss a beat.
