3d Battalion, 3d Marines is dead. How many battalions have they killed over the past couple of years?

You my friends are watching the death of America's ground combat power. Once lost, especially in the current environment, you can bet that it will be almost impossible to reconstitute. They're taking risks with national security based on a poorly formed theory. If the next war is lost remember this day. If you can lose a battle for want of a nail then you can surely lose a war for want of a Marine Infantry Battalion (or 2).
