3d MLR Marines Conduct Scout Screener

U.S. Marines with 3d Marine Littoral Regiment, 3d Marine Division, conduct a pistol marksmanship lane during a scout platoon screener at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, June 5, 2023. The screener evaluates Marine’s abilities to execute basic skills, learn and retain information, and improve scores over repetitious evaluations to identify Marines who will be successful in the future scout platoon.

This makes no sense.  They just ended weapons plt with the idea that any infantryman can be taught to fire any weapon proficiently.

Now they're doing screeners for scout plt?  Fucking why?  Are they gonna insert in a way that is totally different from the rest of the unit?

Are they expected to perform at a higher standard than the rest of the unit?

This is glorified bullshit.

The Marine Corps has had a series of ass kissing, ineffective leaders that all wanted to reshape the Corps in his image and ended up leaving the institution in worse shape than they found it.

I don't know what the Marine Corps is except reverting to the junior member of the Dept Of The Navy.

The JOINT FORCE means that all of the services integrate with each other.  This hyper integration with the Navy should signal to the bean counters that the Marine Corps should no longer have a chair on the JCS.  Hell if I was leading the US Army and was watching this bullshit I WOULD DEMAND IT!

Every General in the USMC should be on his or her knees praying to God that a war with China comes.  If it doesn't then this organization is over.  If a war comes somewhere else and its on land, the USMC will be looking like idiots while shouting like a bunch of bitches that we're organized for the pacing threat while the Army is stacking bodies and doing work. 

Hit me straight?  In its current form why do we need a Marine Corps?  Recon/Counter Recon?  Sats and UAVs can do that.  YOU DON'T NEED AN ENTIRE SERVICE TO DO THAT.

Stand In Force?  WHAT DO YOU CALL ALL THE FORWARD DEPLOYED UNITS THE ARMY HAS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, EUROPE, S. KOREA and parts unknown.

Berger, his boy Smith and everyone associated with Force Design 2030 is full of shit.
