Update: Female Marines at USMC Infantry Officer Course

[1337BeachedWhale1337]

The Marine Corps mission reads as follows: "

1. Provide Fleet Marine Force with combined arms and supporting air components for service with the United States Fleet in the seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such land operations as may be essential to the execution of naval campaign.
2. Provide detachments and organizations for service on armed vessels of the Navy and security detachments for the protection of naval property at naval stations and bases.
3. Develop, in coordination with the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the doctrine, tactics, techniques, and equipment employed by landing forces in amphibious operations.
4. Provide Marine forces for airborne operations, in coordination with the Army, Navy, and Air Force, according to the doctrine established by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
5. Develop, in coordination with the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the doctrine, procedures, and equipment for airborne operations.
6. Expand peacetime components to meet wartime needs according to the joint mobilization plans.
7. Perform such other duties as the President may direct."

In my opinion, the Marine Corps actions should commit actions that are in the best interest of this mission; that or they should amended what their National Security Act of 1947, amended in 1952, says their mission is.

I don't see any thing political in Sledge's reply. He made some observations but did not attribute it anyone or anything. If you disagree, provide a rebuttal, rather than stopping it or redirecting it by classifying it as political.

Since my reply to the now-banned poster was above (and therefore prior to) Sledge's, it couldn't possibly have been in response to his. Even if it had been in response to Sledge, it's pretty clear I'm not "stopping it or redirecting it by classifying it as political," since my comment is only, and rather, about that poster's namecalling (moderator-edited).

My bad. Somehow quote wasn't working, I was replying to AJC.

I agree 100%, but we, normal folks, don't get to decide what actions "are the best interest of this mission." The Marine Corps leadership just have to say whatever actions they decide to do "are the best t interest of this mission."
