Jeff Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 With the stroke of a pen, more damage was done to the USMC and national security than China, Korea, Iran or Russia could have ever dreamed of. All that experience, all the knowledge, all the cohesion built up through decades of working together... gone forever once they cycle out and move on. Even if saner heads prevail years down the road and attempt to resurrect it, they'll have to relearn from scratch, in the midst of war I'm sure. What a waste. Forrestal may have been wrong.

Jeff Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The rush indicates that this is a swindle, hurry up and smash before there's any chance of resistance or analysis. S/F....Ken M Agreed, there's a sense of maliciousness to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Tan Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Is OK. In 3 years the MC will be a bunch of trans minorities in MARPAT tutus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Look on the bright side Ken, he is going to have to hustle to get them all out in 6 months. I dont see that level of organization present in this administration, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to need them again and perhaps sooner than we think Edited July 22, 2020 by Ken Estes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Look on the bright side Ken, he is going to have to hustle to get them all out in 6 months. I dont see that level of organization present in this administration, do you?You declare them out, or the Army sends them off to exercise and they slowly return without fanfare.

Stuart Galbraith Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 History tells there are few bureaucracies as resistant to change when they want to be than our nations armies. Sometimes this is a bad thing. Sometimes you just want to slap them on the back and congratulate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Estes Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I'm glad to see this one: 'Marines Make Excellent Soldiers': Over Half a Marine Tank Company Just Joined the Army National Guard | Military.com https://www.military.com/daily-news/2020/09/16/marines-make-excellent-soldiers-over-half-marine-tank-company-just-joined-army-national-guard.html It's my hope that all USMC tankers and technicians will take the interservice transfer to the Army. That way, when we need them again, they just might come back into the fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
