MARINE CORPS NEWS

It would seem to me we need more marines not less. In the past as will be in the future, marines will be called on to do some very heavy lifting. With all the experience we had fighting the Japanese in the Pacific and the Chinese in Korea, eliminating organic direct support tanks and artillery seems foolish. To disperse marines but provide no direct support because of a hostile environment seems like a losing strategy on the very front end. Why deploy them at all if support is going to be a problem.
John Percy at 3:06 PMMost of the senior staff of all military branches need to be fired if not arrested.
Kevin at 12:02 AMBerger is the worst commandant ever. Reminds me of a general who told me that because one is in the Marine Corps does not mean that he is a Marine. This idiot spends too much time in Biden's cellar playing electronic war games with the Secretary of Defense and his senior military staff. Our warfghters will no longer be killed in combat, they will be murdered as the result of delusional ROEs, WOKE and CRD. Glad I was in the Old Corps.
Larry Stewart at 12:33 PMFrom the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Idiocy... Seriously! The Marine Corps always lacked the proper tooth to tail ratio. Now, this idiot wants to reduce "Marine Combat Air", artillery, eliminate armor, just about reduce and eliminate Marine Military Police. Buy more Rockets, Drones, A.I., and E.W./SIGINT Capabilities, etc. Uncle Sam's Misguided Children need more logistics, etc. If the Marines cannot conduct sustained combat, then they should not be in the near pear fight. Wars are still won with Infantry, Armor and Tanks, Cannon Artillery and the Logistics to support them. I have been hearing about push button warfare since the early 60's. We still fight wars with these elements and we can will with these elements. The ability to see the enemy with ISTAR, C4I, etc. improves our chances in battle. It does not win battles without the personnel to shoot, move, communicate and resupply and replenish. Biden's Chiefs of Staff are not who I would pick to lead.

What good is having the amount of force that's needed if Military Leadership is kneecapped by ceding military missions to the State Department?
Ed at 7:50 PMAs of June 24, 2021 the Administration was slated to keep 650 troops at Bagram after the withdrawal, and 8 days later Biden blew up the region. Big balls on divestment on legacy systems, balless on keeping Marines alive.
