With all the talk about sequester and spending cuts, here's a sure fire way to save $29 billion right now: Eliminate the Marine Corps.
There's nothing they do which can't be done by the Army. It's a superfluous and redundant ground force which we really can't afford anymore.
Eliminate Democrats, save $1.5 Trillion
Maybe, but that's not the subject of this thread, is it?
Cyber attacks from China,North Korea working on a nuke. Is now the time to be shrinking our armed forces?
Leftist logic:
Government is suppose to spend on defense, leftists say cut one whole branch of the military.
Government is not suppose to spend on healthcare, ss, entitlements, leftists say spend more.

They said the 'military'. I don't think they foresaw the Marine Corps. They were thinking more of the Army. There is nothing in the Constitution that says 'Marine Corps'. Let's put them on the table!
Well gee... Since the Marines were founded in 1775 (well before the Constitution) I'd say you missed that one entirely.
Army, new and improved Marine Corps?
Constitutionally speaking, the one thing the Government is supposed to spend our Taxes on IS the Military, everything else not so much.
That may be true, but we can't just spend money willy-nilly and expect good results. There IS a limit on what we can spend, so I think we should spend it wisely.
And, to me, spending it wisely doesn't include funding two separate ground forces. It's a luxury we can't afford.
If we're really serious about curtailing deficit spending and the debt, nothing should be off the table.
Interestingly enough, there are a whole bunch of Army pukes that will get sick on ships.
Marines are good enough to hold it in until they hit land.
BTW.........................the Marines are a division of the Navy, and have been since their inception. The Army is a bunch of johnny come lately types.
And......................we can get Marines on the beach quicker than the Army, and they're more motivated to win.
The Army is more interested in camping out in the places the Marines have won.
And yeah..............................I'm U.S. Navy (Retired).

Yeah... .sure.
Obama is going to cut Vets benefits even more before you ever get your wish.

Can somebody justify keeping the Marine Corps?

You ever see a fat Marine? I haven't.
I've seen some fatboys in the Army, though.
Eliminate the Marine Corps. Eliminate all air forces from the Army (we have an AF, no need for the Army to have anything that flies). That might help the budget a bit.
What other things can we cut?
Cyber attacks from China,North Korea working on a nuke. Is now the time to be shrinking our armed forces?
We had a far greater existential threat during the Cold War, and yet we are spending twice as much now as we did then.
His sarcasm is no more absurd than your premise.
Why is it absurd? You wanna cut spending or not?

Cut the DHS, TSA, DEA, and ATF. Legalize drugs, gambling, and prostitution and tax the hell out of them.
