Are you watching what the US Army is doing?“The Army is undertaking its most significant transformation in several decades to dominate in large-scale combat operations in a multidomain environment, and the M10 Booker is a crucial part of that transformation."

Are you making note of how they're evolving their Airborne/Light Infantry force?
They are upgrading them to a point where they're not only flexing FULLY into the forcible entry/rapid deployment realm (that they already were fully part of) but they're making them flexible enough to fight UP and DOWN the spectrum of combat.
They've achieved nirvana.
They've finally out Marine Corps'ed the Marine Corps!
The USMC went out on a tangent, decided to chance ghosts/transformation or whatever you want to call the abomination known as Force Design 2030, foolishly decided to abandon its role as America's 911 force and the US Army is happily stepping into the void.
They're drinking our milkshake, laughing in our face and about to make a serious run at Congress in a year or two talking about their expanded roles and how they need more funding in order to meet the looming threat.
Because the so called brains and the arrogance of those that pushed Force Design 2030 so hard birthed and because of how they've fractured the Marine Corps family (only those that have skin in the game count), the traditional rally around the Marine Corps flag is over with (many will forgive them....I can't).
They touted Force Design 2030 as guaranteeing the Marine Corps future.
They were wrong.
They risked the future chasing a fantasy. They fucked up bad and it will take serious dose of humility, acknowledgement of how off track they were and a campaign of repairing the damage they did (both materially and morale wise) to have a chance for survival.
Things are bad in Marine land.
