What's this?

Here’s the thing.


Assuming your facts are correct (always questionable based on your usual slanted sources- I learned not to click on your anonymous red state links), I can assure you that The Marine Corps is chronically underfunded. Part of that is due to their own macho mantra while part is due to their bastard status within the Navy.

Thankfully, my son (Captain) and daughter-in-law (Major) have recently moved from the Corps to the private sector. All through their Marine careers, they dealt with effects of chronic underfunding. Old, used equipment. Rationed ammunition. Ospreys spraying hydraulic fluid.

So, piss off Ralph.
