And we are going off the article and it showing those in charge of the marines that they are going to get rid of the tanks as well as add more amphibious vehicles

They seem pretty solid on that matter of getting rid of the tanks I am just saying and giving a reason why they wont use tanks. Plus it takes a lot more fuel and the like to transport tanks that are not amphibious, so you have to waste more space used for marines for a tank instead.

They dont think they do, as it is not thier job to provide heavy support worh armor

They are getting rid of thier heavy armor in place of more Amphibious vehicles. And no the Army is not slow to mobilize... We just take our time unless it is an emergency. As seen months ago when the 82nd was deployed to the Iraq embassy

I think it was 25 miles to 52 miles inland

It is slightly diffrent now and the marines are going back to nearly a pure amphibious force and are leaving standard ground combat for the Army.

In the military in in pop culture the Marines are treated as the elite of the normal military and are underfunded but get the job done with old equipment

Got the idea from a sister site, Like the myth the US Marines are underfunded, get outdated army equipment and are some super special forces with every infantry marine... What are some about yours our even more about the US.
