It's too easy Lemur, it doesn't qualify as an option for politicians.

I'm sorry, Husar, I'm not following you. Could you expand on that a little?
Re: Marines to Army: I'll Swap Ya Afghanistan for Iraq
I guess it makes sense, except for the fact that Afghanistan doesn't have any beaches.I figure the Marine Corp leadership would love it, consolidated force, no real inter-service dealings, and the chance to stick the Army with the PR fiasco.

One thing you gotta credit the leathernecks with -- they've always been savvy when it comes to PR. There's a very good reason they never have a problem filling their recruiting quota.Originally Posted by drone

Give that man (Lemur) a three day pass! That's what real teamwork is all about.
I think it would do a lot of good for morale, and show the politicians that some people can work together in a sort of military bi-partisanship.

Re: Marines to Army: I'll Swap Ya Afghanistan for Iraq
Another reason to let the army stay in Afghanistan. At least then some of the "I wanna kill terrorists/guys that did 9/11" guys can sign up for the Army.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

Yeah, but then again most of the guys enlisting into the army couldn't tell the difference between one Arabic nation and another, they'd all be "dirty stinking turrurists" to them.

Re: Marines to Army: I'll Swap Ya Afghanistan for Iraq
Sounds like a plan to me. Not much they can do in Iraq anyway.
Re: Marines to Army: I'll Swap Ya Afghanistand for Iraq
Since when do politicians decide in favour of easy and logical options?
I can't really expand on it, it's a prejudice.

Face up on your own prejudice, Husar!I can't really expand on it, it's a prejudice.
Re: Marines to Army: I'll Swap Ya Afghanistan for Iraq
I'd worry about the problems in Al Anbar province if the Marines left. While it'd be swapping one US service for another I imagine that the Shieks the Marines have been working with would probably prefer to keep working with the same people. I'd argue sort of the same thing in Afghanistan though there it probably wouldn't be too much of a difference seeing how there's so many different countries already that a switch of US services wouldn't be too bad.

It makes sense. But Husar's right, politicians don't take the option that makes sense.
