    Just a comment on equipment.. The Marine Corps has historically been left sucking hind tit equipment wise. We were eating WWII C rats in Nam when the Army had easier to carry better tasting LRPS. CH 34 Helicopters when the Army already had CH 46's. I don't believe that The Marine Corps has under armored or underarmed equipment in Iraq by choice. Just my 2 cents.

    Something implied, but didn't see stated outright...the Marine Corps mission is wildly different from the Army mission. Marines have to move fast and TAKE areas. The Army has to get their and HOLD it. I like the Capt's idea.

    This entire thread is based on the opinion of one soldier. I don't even think that warrants this discussion.
