I must say "
Kid you done good!", I watched both
Parts 1 & 2 and I heard a word I've put out here for so many years in it's many other forms as well through...
economics it does rule the world.
So many good points I even heard
1 AD Battalion w/1 RSV Battalion (USMC MBT's) in the discussion also what I and many others that know more then I do support at a
minimum level. And that conversation towards the end did conclude that thought the CORPS might find itself in a land war down the road with a what then discussion.
Also from
Part 2 was the the comparison from the
1930's concerning the
USMC (And in reality what
most major powers, was "lighten up" on armor. Except of course
Germany.) when they "
lightened up" in the Pacific and were relying on heavy artillery and the Battleships of the the Navy to be applied against an aggressor in the region.
We of the Navy still remember
Dec. 7 1941. It's ingrained in us.
One can wonder are we coming to "
full circle" and "
doomed to repeat the past", I don't think so. So the USMC will rely on the USN again to provide "
over the horizon" ship to whatever the target missiles.
I guess we better get started on building more ships!

I also liked the story about the USMC M1A1 tanks that rolled ashore in Somalia in "The MOAG"
without ammo but cruised the streets and everyone was well behaved.
It was all part of a discussion on the psychological aspect of having tanks by those that have and those that don't.
1 from USA Tank School, 2 from
RAND probably this countries
top political and military "
think tank" and the "Professor".
No
light weights there.
I'll be reviewing the ones he has on the UK armor situation. The first he is talking to the same gentle from the
Defense Committee that was in the
APC Post from last night.
Maybe I can gain some further insights.

Pat
