Tanks, Artillery and Recon should be pissed.



I can't shake how pissed I am about this video.

The good:

It shows the USMC performing the most difficult of military operations (yeah that's right, every military expert says that an opposed amphibious assault is the most difficult of operations) with speed, and precision.

The bad:

Care packages in the back of helos, MTVR's and the emphasis on the Marine Corps being an armed Salvation Army.

The weird:

LouG reminded me of a fact that I failed to notice before.  The F/A-18 is never noted in Marine Propaganda.  In this vid, Tankers, Artillery, Recon, Snipers and other members of the combat arms, combat support community are left out.

I guess a 70 ton tank driving off an LCAC doesn't promote the idea of serving food to the masses.
