All good bro!

Yawn BTDT served for over 20 years active. Don’t really need a Kelsey Grammer movie to tell me about the military. saw the original 60 minutes, read the book, saw the movie anyway back then. What’s lame is people like you hold it up like a mantra of incompetence yet the Bradley Fighting Vehicle has served well for…

But then it would be the Triple T Tank!!! ;)

You know what else is funny? When people on FA who’ve never worn a uniform don’t think that guys who’ve spent most of their lives actually thinking about this and doing it haven’t thought of these things.

Yes. They know.

We still have tanks. But we also have Zulus with hellfires and F18s and AV8Bs with Mavericks

I mentioned it before. The ARG/ESG is more than one ship. The MEU is spread loaded across them. They still have LCACs. Just on the LSD or LPD.We did it before when we only had LPH’s that didn't have well decks either. It's making an issue when there really isn't one.

Not during Desert Storm. LAV-25 Bushmaster DU APDS >> T55s.

Ugh. The ESG has many options. A MEU or MEB is carried in 3-6 gator ships. LHD, LPD, LSD. AAVs LCACs even LCM. That’s the point. Some of the MAGTF can conduct vertical envelopment while others cross the shore. Embarked MAGTFs are not a one trick pony.

Because tanks still kick ass and come on the LCACs too.

Yeah and nobody on FA is supposed to read the Norwegian F16 pilots article saying the F35 will kick F16 ass.

Yea but they had time to repurpose. A peer competitor at the high end of the ROMO will be a come as you are war. No time to spin up the Arsenal of Democracy. That was Ike’s point.

The ESG can do it all. Surface, vertical, small boat. It’s all gonna be network centric dude!

That’s why CH53's can external an LAV. ;)

Understood. They developed the strategies the best they could. Ike was told we wouldn’t need infantry any more too thanks to “push button” warfare. How wrong the best and brightest were.

Hey I think someone just shot a torpedo at us!

People never read the speech in context.

Interstate Highway system created to provide alternate SAC runways and high speed logistics routes in case of atomic attack! ;)

“Progress toward these noble goals is persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world. It commands our whole attention, absorbs our very beings. We face a hostile ideology — global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. Unhappily the danger is poses promises to…

Yeah the Bradley Fighting Vehicle which knocked out MBTs with its puny gun and has served well for over 20 years? That one?
