    Raptors? Raptors?

    I assume you mean the F-22 Raptor? Look, neither the Navy nor the Marines use F-22s, nor does neither of them want the F-22. They simply can not use the F-22.

    What next, turn over the submarines to the Army? Maybe the Navy should get control of the M1 Abrams Tanks (because the Navy has tankers after all, right?).

    Look, you know almost nothing of the military, so why do you continue to say such insane things?

    No, the Raptor is entirely wrong for the Marines. Primarily because as was already said, Raptors can not land on ships. The Marines would never want to use fighters that can not land on Navy Ships.

    If this is not obvious, then you know nothing about the Marine Corps. And trust me, I spent 10 years in the Big Green Weenie.

    And no Air Force?

    Sorry, I am tuning this entire thread out. It is pointless and silly in the extreme.

    Around 30 fatalities - and maybe not all on the battlefield - after being more or less permanently in action for 18 months with some success, is quite a reasonable casualty count, I'd have thought.

    Holly Chesty Puller !!!

    That would require at least 3 new Marine amphibious training bases and at least 2 new Marine air bases on the east coast. The largest amphibious training base in the world is the Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton and it can only house one Marine division.

    Since the U.S. Army and Marine Corps adopted maneuver warfare during the 1980's not even Camp Pendleton is large enough to properly train a Marine division so one rifle regiment and 1/3 of the combat arms units are sent to train alongside Mohave rattlesnakes at 29 Palms.

    Tricky read of me but you want same like I want and it's 82.000 rusted upod in Marines divisions in East America. You understand my views of 300.000 Marines so we can win in also in East America there nothing of Army division are nothing matters when we has 104.000 sailors in Navy and rest will the Trump to get lucky in US Marines with 300.000 troops in East America or 4000 less.

    Army divisions are in central USA and Marine divisions in South.

    National Guard Army reserve better in West America.

    Where do you get these numbers from? You understand modern militaries are more than just numbers of personnel, right?

    The composition of those numbers matters a lot more. 300,000 Marines are going to do dick if they are 300,000 cooks and truck drivers.

    I wish me now 76.000 increase Marines then there will be 300.000 Marines in the east coast, and 100.000 sailors who are data then we increased to 23.000 to the Air Force. 1.4 million professionals in professional system.

    Require every able-bodied and minded adult age 18 to 40 to be trained in the Militia for two weeks a year and a couple weekends under command the their State governors and the States would be required to maintain armories and the needed basics for their deployment with few waivers those in the armed forces or reserves of National Guard, those who served and mustered out of the armed forces after an eight year term or who served in combat, certain specialists like medical doctors and other hard to replace civilian experts and CO's who would need to prove their pacifist stance before a military judicial official. Pay them the minimum wage and if we go to war they will be mustered and fill gaps in the homefront freeing fighting men and women to fight and get training for such duties and then they get military pay on a separate structure. That would be very Constitutional and clearly put a lot of people into the armed forces in case they are needed fast.

    That eliminates 75% of todays younger generation ( millennials ) since most of them are Pillsbury Doughboys aka cream puffs.
