#1 This part of the Transformation For Transformation's Sake struggle. The US Air Force and US Navy are focused on blowing up things accordingly they favor the concept that everything is a weapons system or its targeting sensors. The US Army, and usually the US Marine Corps, view that warfare is a "People Thing", Fourth Generation Warfare, and the whole purpose of the weapon systems is to empower the soldier with a bayonet-equipped rifle taking ground and more importantly forcing the enemy to do what we want.

It may be Clausewitzian of me but I feel that making the rubble bounce is not enough.

#5 How about we stop invading other countries, then we won't need Marines.
Deploy them in LA instead of Asia.
America first.
