ALPAR Heavy Class Tracked Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGR).

TUNGA Medium Class Level 2 Unmanned Ground Vehicle

How come no one told me that the Russians had launched a limited offensive???

 

You fuckers! Talking to Maria, S300V4 and a few others. How come none of you told me that the Russians had launched a limited offensive? I had gotten reports of them supposedly massing 100K troops and a large number of tanks/ifvs but I blew it off. THIS IS NOT HOW OPEN SOURCE IS SUPPOSED TO WORK!

Gold Star families are upset that phones had cards removed. I understand their pain but its a mercy...

 Wow.  Watching the news and Gold Star families are upset that they didn't get the sim cards from the phones of their fallen.

I understand their pain but its a tender mercy.

Hell.  The Marine Corps is taking care of its own AND the families...even in the Sheriff's Dept its understood that you don't give the phone back.  It was wrecked in the fight, car accident whatever needs to be said.

Is it to cause the family additional pain?

No.

Not at all.

But you never know what someone has on their phone.  The Marine Corps (if its a good unit) will always have someone go thru gear (probably twice so nothing is missed) so that the family isn't shocked or embarrassed by whatever their loved one was into.

I'm talking sexually, emotionally, financially, morally, the whole gamut of things.

What is terrible is that someone can't properly explain (I wonder if it could even be explained) that this isn't done to cause more hurt but to protect.

Forget Force Design 2030. You want real reform in the US military? Cut the number of generals by 75% (you would still have too many)!!!

 Have you noticed something about Berger and his alcolytes Force Design 2030?

They cut end strength like it was no one's business.  They shed combat power the way a hooker sheds panties in a back alley in New Orleans.

They didn't cut the number of generals though.  

The USMC has 4 divisions.  4 Air Wings.  Title 10 says it is to have no less than 3.  

How many generals?

62.

Sixty Two generals to handle 3 divisions (1 Reserve), 3 Air Wings (1 Reserve) and of course all the logistics that go along with that.

62.

Doesn't sound like a lean mean service does it.

You cut the number of generals in the USMC by 75% and you're down to 17.  Let's make it a round number for shit's sake and you're back up to 20.

20 freaking generals to lead 3 active duty divisions & 3 air wings.

Sounds like more than enough to me.  What I can't answer is how we got to where we are.  How did we end up with a bloat of generals and why hasn't the issue been tackled (its been brought up tons before)?

Want another head banger?  The USMC has about 29 battalions, that's active and reserve.  So we could have a general leading every infantry battalion we have.

Make that make sense.

I'm sure the same applies to the wing so lets say they have 20 equivalent formations.  We're up to 49 generals leading these relatively small units.

I say again.  MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

What should the new Commandant do?  Ruffle REAL FEATHERS and cut the number of general slots.

The equalizer equalizes...

 

Marine Corps Reddit continues to give on the Memes...

Wow. Is this real?  Seen some beefy Navy officers but never a Marine officer this...portly.  2nd MarDiv does this unit leader assessment program where they basically PT the dog shit outta officers coming into the division.  Wonder if he slid by?

Its a shame that someone this age has to work

Do you think he is safe to still be driving?

Look at this guy. Do you think it's by choice or by necessity that he has to climb into that rig everyday? Do you think if he had a choice that he would instead be at home relaxing and enjoying his remaining days? I don't know who the blame lies with. Is he doing it cause he's a baby Biden type dude and don't know when to leave the stage? Did some financial tragedy hit and he has to work? Could it be that he simply mismanaged his money and he's in dire straits? Don't know, but its still painful to watch.

American crosses line into N. Korea.

Either a returning spy, incredibly stupid or simply took the wrong turn and was caught up before realizing it. Stupid I buy. Accident I'm not sure but ok. Returning spy, just can't see it when easier ways to return are available. Need more info but I'm leaning to incredibily stupid right now.
