Chinese 6th Marine Brigade is fully equipped and they appear to be completely mechanized...

Here.

Wow.  I hope our leadership has the future properly charted out cause by force structure and open source documents it appears that the Marine Corps of the future will be outgunned by their Chinese counterparts and "troned" (as in electronic warfare) to death by Russia.

As things stand now it appears that our Ground Combat Element will only be able to stand up to either 3rd world forces or terrorists.

Of course that could be the plan, but if it is we're building an overly expensive Marine Corps to deal with that threat...especially if we're leaving the high end ground fight to the Army.
