Just plain sad. II MEF offloads for a major exercise and the pics provided are of a gawd damn Humvee and this F350(?)! Simply amazing. Those fucking missiles better work beyond any reasonable expectation. The Marine Corps is lighter than the Airborne now. In a couple of years we gone from a lack of shipping capacity to (from all appearances) looking for shit to put aboard ship!
The 82nd in a few short years will have MORE GROUND MOBILITY, MORE DIRECT FIRE CAPABILITY and PROBABLY MORE TACTICAL MOBILITY THAN THE US MARINES!!! Oh and they're moving by air, not by ship.
