Marine Commandant Finding A Way To Modernize With Flat Budgets

MAJ Ken Landgren - OKay let us not get caught up in this Okay. It was a play on words lol. No I would say more introspective. We do not need badass we need creative warfighters. This is not world war 2. We are soon — not fighting the Taliban. We are going to fight an enemy with 2000 years of tradition. With an economy that soon will put our economy in their shadow. With technology that can and will build a 6th generation fighter. Macho is not going to win wars.

MAJ Ken Landgren - If you were secure in your position you would not get so angry. I see nothing wrong with the Army other than their monstrous infrastructure. An infrastructure we need, and yet we need to complain about. There is waste we need to talk about. The nation needs to talk about ethics in leadership. There are units in the Army that are top of the rung. The older 2nd ACR in Merrill Barracks Nuremberg for one. Did a hell of a job in the Gulf War. I will not apologies for something I am not sure I am guilty off? I am not clueless on the US Army’s capabilities. If you would listen to what I was saying you would have heard me say it is the Army’s job to take on China not the Marines. This might be what you perceived as an insult. Let the Army do their job was said. I played off an old recruitment slogan is all. The Marines are a Naval force not a field army. But unfortunately they have been used as a field army. But I will add machismo badass and I come from this direction with load of combat experience has its limits. Never met an infantryman Army or Marine who survived combat, who did not surrender his baddass. We need warrior that think, not react to perceived insults.
