The Marine Corps is generational screwed. This budget plan will have the US Navy down to 19 amphibs by 2041

Amphibious warship kerfuffle not over… Navy’s plan for shipbuilding raised the bipartisan ire of Congress. Letter today says as much, and a page from the Navy’s plan that fails to meet the mandate for 31 amphibious warships. pic.twitter.com/mqmYqPkRJ0

Just plain wow. The Navy (the service HQMC is fighting tooth and nail to integrate with) is pushing a plan to get amphibs down to 19 ships by 2041. Berger opened Pandora's box with the push down to 31 and now the bean counters have pounced. All those years of demanding ships, getting them and changing doctrine so that they were basically useless didn't help either. The Marine Corps might not exist by 2050. Certainly won't exist in any form that we can recognize. If it does live it'll probably be more like the Royal Marines than what is the USMC until recently. This whole group of change agents have fucked the nation and the Corps. I hope they're happy.
