They sure are out to reinvent the USMC. Killed their armor and talks of killing of the air wing. Kind of goes against everything that made the Marine Corp a success and deterrent all these years I think.
Their ultimate goal is obviously to neuter the fighting ability of the US military.
Really makes you wonder who they're actually working for.
 
They think wars can be fought with drones, smart weapons and other technological advancements but history has shown over and over that every conflict with the possible exception of total nuclear war requires boots on the ground eventually.
It seems that in the haste to be cutting edge that the blood and guts it actually takes to win battles is being lost.
They're giving combat badges to nerds flying drones now. https://www.stripes.com/branches/ai...intelligence; surveillance and reconnaissance.

Its not as if other forces don’t have armor or aircraft.
