C-4 10 lbs Just Missing

.....or is pissed that a gold bar with no NDM just ordered him to remove his Confederate battle flag tattoo, and showed his prepared general discharge papers if he didnt, despite his 15 years of service, bronze star with V, purple heart and multiple deployments.

Hadn't thought of that angle. It's funny how much a butter bar can learn if they keep their mouth shut, eyes open and ears listening.

If we continue on the current trajectory the USMC is scheduled for "cancellation".

Ive commented a few other places this AM regards my wild theories.

At best the USMC future may be reinforced "Raiding" parties or ceremonial. Present Commandant might be on board with that, he appears to be no Vandegrift.

A disgruntled USMC event would be a good catalyst to eliminate the "extremist" doctrine of Parris Island and submit to the memory hole the ethos that is such a huge part of USMC basic that would be counter to our commie future.

Our Chinese overlords are still pissed about the events of Chosin Reservoir and want revenge.

ACCELERATION

they have to work fast! Trump woke up a lot of people in four years. The time the masses buy their bullshit is waning fast. They would lose a civil war before it began.

It clearly says on the label that it's marked with a taggant. So all they've gotta do then, is plug said taggant into the license-plate readers on the roads, as well as the camera's in the drones, so that they know what to look for.

Then they can triangulate using the 5G or even the 8EE towers, to nab the thieves. Nothing to worry about, what's the worst that can happen?

It's for the children.

(that oughta get a few panties twisted, eh?)

I think we may see a regression to what the Corps was, a Naval Infantry who fights on shore up to X miles in.

It makes sense.

There is alot of redundant capabilities and systems that quite frankly, the Army is better suited to handle from a doctrine and economics standpoint.

The Marines always cried they get fucked on funding and then the GWOT happened. The Marines got EVERYTHING they asked for. Hell they got better equipment than the Army in most cases.

They got their wiz bang MV22, They got way better TA50/Duece gear including new modern Body armor, Helmets, packs,ect way before the army, They all go optics on their weapons, They got the F35B, They were able to get expensive HK rifles, They got massively expensive upgraded Cobras, UH-1's & 53's. They got MRAPS before any of us did. Due to their size the costs of all these were astronomical for the low numbers purchased.

They are getting rid of tanks, Next they need to get rid of the LAVs, get a real replacement for the AAV and go back to what they do best. Naval Assaults, raids and defense of Naval Assets.

The premise of that article I read is that traditional Naval force projections are not possible as technology has rendered big expenditure weapons too vulnerable.

Like everyone else the USMC has succumbed to the lure of printed money.

Unsure what the future holds but I do not feel good that our admin seems to be one more inclined to "adventurism" rather than consolidating to our strongholds, determining best posture for new threats than developing capability to meet it.

Everything since Jan 20 has been to reverse the track we were on and it has weakened us.

For fucks sake how do you argue "Energy Dependence" as a good national policy?

The taggant is a small marker that remains after use to tell you "These people killed by Acme C4, Batch 1, Lot B, manufactured 00/00/0000 at plant Alpha".

From there you trace it to the issue point where it went missing and you end up asking at the end "But who took it?"

I think he was poking fun at peoples misconception of the ability to trace things and government surveillance. I always use Semtex as it is cheaper and you can get without the taggant.
