What is the CNO thinking????
Wow. This story from National Defense blew me away....
This guy has a Navy that keep its ships repaired.
Has an Amphibious Ready Group that is setting records for its deployment length.
Has an LCS that is half baked and not quite ready for prime time (mainly looking at you Austal).
Has an issue with whether or not it needs 11 carriers...
And this guy takes the opportunity to possibly get greater funding for his service and chucks it?
Words cannot express.
“It’s not a big naval buildup in the Far East,” Greenert said at an Jan. 10 forum hosted by the Center For New American Security, in Washington, D.C. “We’re there. We have been there. We’ll continue to be there.”Amazing.
Greenert’s assessment is that the Navy as currently deployed could handle China as it flexes its muscles. Budget cuts and the new strategic guidance document rolled out by the Obama administration “won’t affect operations in Southeast Asia,” Greenert said.

Bell Helicopter makes an idiot move.
How stupid can a company be?
One of your products that's sold to the US Marine Corps is highlighted in a very popular game.
Instead of saying "glory...glory..glory" and pass the beer, they instead launch a law suit and demand that the game remove the depiction from the video game.
Read the insanity here.
Army NG leads half the way.

Camo firearm. Check.
Camo mags. Check.
Black slings and other gear. Big no-go.
Someday, somehow, you'll see the Infantry Branch of the US Army and Marine Corps get the brilliant idea to outlaw black equipment and accessories.
Until then we have effective camouflage that's defeated by our weapons and accessories.
The GCV is dead. Long live the Bradley Family of Vehicles?
The Army is facing a reduction in manpower and since the justification for a Ground Combat Vehicle(GCV) was always weak sauce, it looks like BAE is properly positioned to capitalize on this by moving forward with the Bradley Family of Vehicles.
Looks like upgrades instead of new builds will be the order of the day for Ground Vehicles and Ground Forces.
Informative video but they glossed over the General Purpose Carrier. I'm digging for more info now.
