What are devil dogs good for in modern war of drones and trenches?Seems these days they are good only for rape, robbery and murder. Is it time for the marines to be disbanded and all its elements absorbed into either the navy or the army?
You have them hold all the Islands in the Pacific and fortify them.
>>65560447Island hopping and amphibious assaults. Shit, just look at the current ME conflict to see how well the navy does without them.
>>65560452Navy doesnt need them. Navy can resup without them just fine.
>muh we need them to hold islands!Disband them and transfer them to the army. We dont need a whole separate fucking logistics chain for this. Complete waste of money. Send their colors into the fucking incinerator.
>>65560447>What are devil dogs good forDogging devils.
>>65560453It makes some sense to keep them under the Navy, it simplifies things for MEFs
>>65560466It worked out well in WWII because the Marines functioned as a ready-made command structure for the Pacific without having to split the Army into more pieces than it already was covering Europe. The same holds true today: Marines are effectively the US ground forces for SEA, and the headache of merging command and protocol structures together so they can wear the same patch isn't logistically feasible.
>>65560507he's right you know
Army is for Non Hispanics, Marines is for Hispanics.
trenches are not modern war. russia vs. ukraine is not modern war lol neither of them even have a real air force.
>>65560447>Seems these days they are good only for rape, robbery and murder.Chang is afraid
>>65560447>What are devil dogs good for in modern war of drones and trenches?if you try to build trenches against the US Military you will be demolished by airstrikes and precision artillery.
>>65560567Marines arent those
>>65560447>Is it time for the marines to be disbanded and all its elements absorbed into either the navy or the army?You sound like the person who sees a system that works and decides they are going to make a bunch of ham-fisted changes because you think you know better.So what if America has a second miniature military, they both work and have different institutional cultures and ideologies. Trying to cram the Marines into another branch is just asking for trouble and disfunction. Don't tinker with a machine that is working fine.
>>65560577retard, the marines HAVE arty and aircraft. they aren't just infantry.
>>65560577Marines have airwings, artillery, and recently (several years ago) in a controversial move replaced their tanks with long range missile launchers for anti ship missiles. you do realize they operate F35Bs right?
>>65560447>China trying to convince people the island chains aren't relevant
>>65560567>What are devil dogs good for in modern war of drones and trenches?Not building trenches means you get demolished by non-precision artillery.Requiring your enemy to expend significantly further effort to destroy you is exactly what you need and want.
>>65560577uhhhh
>>65560528whoever keeps saying this is fucking retarded they're both spicsit's hispanics all the way down>t. army spic officer
Marines represent the "standing army" aka the potential boots on the ground. And this is something that still terrifies Marines even though ground based warfare is essentially dead. They're just a reminder.
>>65560536Yeah, same thing they said about the Russo-Japanese war.>trust me bro, we'd never hail mary millions of you into barbed wire in front of machine gun bunkers>That's just the Japanese being barely human barbarians. I'd never do that to ya all.>trust me.
>>65560635>>65560528So the US Army of the future will no longer invade, instead it will get legally deported to war zones?
Recruitment, marines are a marketing front to recruit soldiers who want to feel special but are too retarded to cut it for anything above infantryman
>>65560634Rip Bonnie Dick
>>65560670>Marines represent the "standing army" aka the potential boots on the ground.That's nto what a standing army is, you absolute retard.
>>65560687
>>65560447they're good for dying lol
>>65560447>>65560466>Just throw away all your stuff, you'll feel better without all that clutter. Don't you want less responsibilities? All that stuff can't have a purpose after all, just get rid of it.You sound like a woman
>>65560629>SingaporeIsn't Singapore a chinese country?
>>65560447Hey man, ima be honest I fly drones, I actually know what beta flight is, what ELRS is, I got a boxer max charging on my desk and I have more moded mp66 equipped o4 air units than I know what to do with I’m going to be straight with you here A drone is a toy rc helicopter You know why they exist bro? 2 reasons 1: those rc helicopters at the mall sucked 2: Wii motion plus sensors were at thrift stores and millennials on YouTube didn’t have jobs because the 2008 crash Strapping an IED to a remote control helicopter isn’t the fucking game changing 21st century war invention that the boomers on 60 mins say is You know half the fucking stories I watch on drones don’t even get basic details down right Like they all say “lithium ion batteries hurr durr” When the Slavic dude on camera clearly is holding some off brand 8s battery off temu fire hazard
>>65560452Literally one (1) squadron of marines were involved, and only because as usual they get funding priority so somehow have more F-35cs than the Navy does. Navy aircraft have hard carried the operation, marines, as usual, are barely even involved. >>65560583The system doesn't work particularly well. The Navy has to spend inordinate resources out of their own budget to prop up the fiction that a MEU is a relevant unit of combat power and that opposed amphibious assault is possible in 2026. It was funny in Venezuela when the marine retards got evicted from their LHA and delta/160th replaced them. The branches who actually win wars, aka Army and Navy are pretty tired of the amount of bullshit marines are always trying to pull congressionally
>>65560447rapid deployment for power projection. The navy can't seize and hold ground. The army can't do it fast enough. >>65562916you don't fly. you post garbage like this on /diy/ all the time and never post a picture of a drone or a flight video. you have absolute dogshit takes all the time because you don't know what you're talking about.
>>65563014If you actually flew you’d know that posting videos of flights on websites for any gain be it reputational or monetary is illegal unless you’re a part 107 pilot
>>65563019You’re concerned about this on a Mongolian basket weaving forum?
>>65563027>lol 4chan is obscure and small! its still 2007 and the internet is the wikd west!
>>65563028If you really think the fucking Federal government is monitoring for bootleg drone footage I have ocean front property in Idaho for you to look at
Army Naval Infantry has a nice ring to it.We can even have a skill school with badge for naval infanteers like a boot in a puddle, or cross rifles and oars, or a life preserver and a bayonet so people hilariously confuse it with the CAB
>>65563033>you really think the fucking Federal government is monitoringnta but did you miss the part where they installed their own jannies on specific boards including this one? dont be dense.
>>65563028Sorry agent Davis, you’ll need to entrap another retard
>>65563019>just complyfaggot
>>65560447Single digit IQ cannon fodder and willing volunteer abuse victims for the most sadistic drill instructors to ritually humiliate and abuse to distract themselves from their own crippling misery and depression. There's nothing these fucks can do that a task force of the 10th, 75th, 82nd and/or 173rd couldn't do equally or better. Their PR machine however is fucking god tier and without a doubt the reason normgroids instantly refer to them with MK ultra tier predictability whenever the topic of the military is remotely brought up (or enlisted in the first place.) I guess the US government couldn't get rid of them directly so they feed all of their dog shit hand me down equipment and tasks to hopefully render them completely combat ineffective. The Army did the heavy lifting at Belleau Wood, the Pacific and many other events but these fucking cocksuckers mastered early on the craft of marketing that would make Edward Bernays blush.>P.S I'm sure there's a few decent Marines out there
>>65560447>last amphibious landing was in 1950 (NINETEEN-FUCKING-FIFTY!)we shouldve disbanded them a long time ago
>>65568210Last war was in 1945. What do we need a standing army for?
>>65569307Sure, cavalry charges aren't relevant in 2026, but who knows what will happen in 2027?
