Because...Biden.

Because...Biden.

Really? Do you have a link or any evidence?

Yes, Biden is a bumbling fool. But the US Marine Corp doesn't make frivolous changes.

I don't know. They are an extremely efficient tool of warfare.

Back to their Naval roots.

A fundamental transformation is taking place within the Marine Corps. Is that a good thing?

No matter who wins this debate, everyone involved can perhaps agree on one thing: “We cannot ... get this wrong.”

I am very chill.

But imitating stupid just creates more stupid.

Nope, it doesn’t. It comes under heading of “Sarcasm”. You may want to look it up.

Let me know if you are still confused.

Like I don't understand sarcasm?

But yeah, my previous comment stands.

Maybe they're not but want everyone to think so. OR maybe drones are more effective?

Actually, yeah it does look like you don’t get sarcasm. I had to explain it to you.

Lighten up. What is your problem here? First time starting a thread? Well, nature of the beast. People are going to make comments you don’t like. Suck it up. Or, not. I could care less.

LOL! Looks like I am not the one who does not understand sarcasm.

And yes, people will make comments I do not like. And I am free to call them on it and disagree with them. Which is what happened in this thread.

Just my opinion but that is a big mistake

Dumb move. You can detect drones. You cannot detect a sniper. There are places where nothing less than as sniper will do.

Better to have a skill and not need it than need a skill and not have it.
