The graph is so simple and easy to understand that there will be no response from my critics.
Marine Air is breaking the Marine Corps because its toys are so expensive they can't be afforded...and real questions must be asked about whether they deliver what was/is being promised.
The situation will not improve with the introduction of the F-35 either.
Choices must be made now. Either the Marine Corps remains a balanced Air Ground Task Force or it becomes an Air Force with attached security forces.
What Dunford decides to do in the next few months will determine the future of the Corps.
