The dumb idea of basing U.S. Marines in Australia

Seems to be some noise out there about basing Marines in Australia.

Dumb in many ways if the idea is to show deterrent value in the Pacific Rim vs. a Chinese Communist threat.

The better alternative would have been a Wing of F-22s. Or at least a Wing of strike eagles.

Such is the lack of understanding in Washington these days. The other problem being this.
