More on the USMC

Solomon has some interesting force-structure thoughts on the USMC.

Me? I just want to use them for what they are good at: being aggressive in boat units. Tough and good. Knock off the extra stuff. Use them for what they are really good at... killing everything they see.

I would not worry about the EFV. Glad it is gone. The M-1 Tank? Well, the first thing I would do with the M-1 is what the Army should do. Give it a no-frills HE round. Stop thinking about the next gold-plated AT round.

I am partial to the AH-1Z/UH-1Y. However I do understand the need to be joint.

I think it is fair to say we have much different views on Marine fast-air.

I would kill the F-35B and press forward with Block 2, Super Hornets. We as a nation are over $16T in the red...
