ReconRat Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 dunno...Saudi Arabia gearing up against Iran.Turkey on the Syrian border and threatening to invade.USA has double assets near both situations.Qaddafi won't quite leave Lybia.North Korean arms recently intercepted on the high seas headed toward Burma or similar.Cyber warfare continues. USA dot mil got hit hard last year, and it didn't make much news.Pick one or two.Stuff like this goes on all the time. And sometimes it's good to flex a little muscle.

ReconRat Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 At the end of the Vietnam War, all us rear echelons started marching and training and exercising. The threat was to send all of us on the island of Okinawa and some other places, to Vietnam and increase the combat level. Threat was noted, negotiations got a little easier. Timing is everything sometimes.The point is, nothing happened, but the training had double results. The military gets more for their money that way, by training when potentially needed somewhere, the somewhere calms down a bit and it isn't necessary.An example: Yeah, 10,000 Marines is a good number. When compared to the previously 50,000 Lybian Army, half of which are draftees. (And 40,000 untrained militia.) And realize this is 10,000 support troops, for an extended expeditionary stay somewhere sometime. The amphibious combat troops are already off shore somewhere waiting.Most of the training is to determine what needs repaired to be good to go. The rest is practice in packing up, moving, and setting back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
