Marine Corps eliminating its elite scout sniper platoons

“We’re shocked and saddened that our Marine Corps leadership seems to have forgotten the lessons learned in combat, paid for with the blood of our members.”

Purse swinging Bn. filled with sissies and queers still fights...using proper pronouns only


So sad.....

This is the worst; I think it's politically motivated and not doctrinally motivated. If anything, the last 20 years and current events would require not just sniper platoons, but additional scout platoons.
They're fcking up and it'll come back and haunt them badly.

They can't afford to keep replacing all the fake fingernails.......

No offense to former members.

when leadership can't distinguish the difference between a male or a female. how can you expect them to make important decisions correctly?

Well, with Recon Battalions getting away from the elite grunt sniper schooling and making their own course and Recon Battalions holding the most snipers in the USMC, it kind of, somehow makes sense.

But I’ll agree with the above statements, a lot of nonsensical crap leadership. Ignoring all the hard learned lessons from combat. Its an idiotic cycle that just continues to repeat itself! If a war ever kicks off and they go fight, all that politically correct stuff will quickly go out of the window for those trying to not die.

scouts who will “provide the commander with relevant, reliable, accurate and prompt information.”

Yeah right.

Ineffectual decisions and titular leaders.

The Marines have a history of doing away with specialized units. (Look @ the Raiders from WWII). Something about a consistent corps.
