Marines Leave the Naval Academy

The US Naval Academy has lost its Marines supposedly because of the demand for combat troops. All I know is that if four dozen men can make a difference in our combat strength then we are in deep trouble.

Even more troubling is the statement that dozens of military installations across the nation have turned to civilian security officers in recent years. What the hell?!? The mightiest military in all of history is reduced to hiring guards? Utterly ridiculous. And from recent news we’ve discovered that our army isn’t even good enough to keep Mexican Army raiding parties out of the country; remind me again what we’re paying the Federal government our taxes for?

Any week now I expect to read accounts of Ottawans & Guadalajarans skirmishing in the Kansas badlands...
