The Navy's Landing Ship Medium is a single MAJOR point of failure for the Marine Littoral Regiment...

Note. The idea that you're gonna operate these ships in the grey zone, have them elude detection, minimum staffing and NO air defense if shit turns hot is just another indication that FD2030 is a failed concept. The world has voted and like I've been saying, the BIG FIGHT will be in Africa/Middle East. Oh and how this thing was rigorously studied, passed the tests (supposedly) and was deemed valid is such a load of bullshit that general officers should be fired for pushing this idiocy on the Marine Corps. THEY FAILED and this abomination will only succeed in getting people killed.

Feel free to scream.

Just two 30mm and six .50.

Intentionally ignoring every wartime lesson in a contested air environment of the last 85 years.

Huh...I have a draft post on this topic...maybe time to finish it. https://t.co/BpQIiVqGa3
