The @USMC is doubling the number of VMU squadrons. Forward-deployed Marines flying MQ-9B will be the eyes and ears of the Joint Force. Thank you to the national security professionals of @GeneralAtomics for making it happen.

I don't understand the thinking!
So now the Mq1-9B is survivable in a high threat environment? Everything I'm reading about this new Marine Corps construct leads me to believe that its a force that's designed to be destroyed.
It's combat power in the scheme they're developing is NEGLIGIBLE, not at all survivable and seems to be simply a target for enemy fire so that they don't shoot at our capital ships.
In other words, it appears that these Marines are expendable. It's harsh and I could even live with that if they were at least honest about it!
