wrong and WRONGThe Marine Corp should have disappeared by the 1890's, too, but they have a massive propaganda and lobbying machine so they're still here, inventing missions for themselves, long after sailing ships did away with snipers. Every time they feel threatened they can run to Hollywood and have them crank out yet another De Jarheads Save Da Woild!!! fantasy action flick showing dumbasses mowing down assorted 'foreignerz n stuff' in ridiculous numbers and vehicles with small gas tanks blowing up like the magazines full of 8 inch Navy gun ammo.
..the Marines are the go to force
..the are constantly deployed on ships!!!!!!!!!! with Ospreys/gunships/choppers/AV8s [ for now ] --ready for a great variety of missions!!! READY --ON CALL--in the Med and Pacific
rescue
embassy security
standard battles
disaster relief
Spec Ops
etc etc
...these are battalions ---NOT in the US ---that can sail all over the world!
..along with that, they have support from carriers--that can sail all over the world--and are on call
....I was on the USS Inchon 1987 when the idiots kidnapped a lot of Americans in Beirut ...we had Delta Force on our ship.....we had the force/equipment/etc for a great variety of OPTIONS
.....the ship was a SAFE/''secret'' ''airport'' for our choppers and Delta Force Choppers
Delta just couldn't place their choppers in Beirut/etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ETC to infinity
