The reason the Marines are more effective is because they take combined arms SERIOUSLY.
So the marines calling in an AF or Navy air support plane isnt combined arms? :neutral:
I am for killing the F35 program, not shifting it to the Navy.The cost of the F-35C for the Navy is about 10 million more than the F-35B for the Marines.
I dont buy it. You need to show me a link in which lives were saved because they called in a harrier instead of an F-18, A-10 or other aircraft.The Marine Hornet squadrons can operate both from land and carriers like Navy Squadrons, but neither can operate out of forward bases for close timely support that their VSTOL squadrons provide.
