Just plain wow. To support TWO (2) Regiments of Marines the Navy is buying a new class of ships...

Thanks to Damian for the link!

This buy is to support 2 regiments of Marines. MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE! The entire Marine Corps and now the US Navy is being jacked with to support 2 regiments of Marines. We destroyed our ground combat power to buy gear for 2 regiments of Marines. We altered and some say destroyed our ability to support troops on the ground with our aviation assets to support 2 regiments of Marines.

WE ARE ALLOWING THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS TO FUCK WITH THE ENTIRE MARINE CORPS TO SUPPORT ABOUT 4,000 MARINES IN TWO UNDER STRENGTH REGIMENTS! NOW THAT EXTENDS TO THE US NAVY! THIS IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
