How is that tied at the hip to the Navy working out? 3000 troops deploying, another 8500 on standby and not one US Marine to be seen!

 Boy that littoral combat scheme is just swell ain't it?  3500 troops are deploying, another 8500 on standby and not one US Marine unit is on the battle roster.

The EABO concept works everywhere?

Apparently not.  It would seem that US Marines aren't invited to this party.  Additionally we can expect to see a return to the Middle East if Putin invades so we'll be stuck to that region in ANOTHER fight for oil (even while the current administration pushed its green agenda).

I would love to see us return to our roots.  How about we return to the idea of "any clime and place"?

Has everyone forgotten Belleau Wood?
