    Im a sailor in the Singapore Navy and I always had great respect for the US Navy. Unlike the US Navy, our ships go out and we rarely have to stay out for more than a week except during exercises. Personally I love ship life but it does get repetitive after awhile so you find other things you wouldn't normally do to keep yourself sane. When you're out, you're reminded that anything can happen. The bond between the crew is what keeps you going, and your family back home reminds you of your duty.

      No one sane wants war, but you also have to be prepared for it.
      Truth of the matter is, these men would rather not fight a war, but they're willing too if it means they can protect their loved ones and their rights, and secure their livelihood through a (mostly) consistent way of life.
      You're naive if you think these men all want for war, or think it's some great thing...

    As a usmc vet. This video makes battle ships look like a cruise ship. We were always tight to each other, the ship wasn’t always steady, disease was fast spread, medical was minimal, and RAS(replenishment at sea)always sucked because you’d have to be in line passing items for hours at times. Connection with the world was minimal and getting irritated of people happened real quick real fast. I loved my experience it was hell but id never wanna do it again.

      The US has 2 with 20 f-35B and is building 11 in total but the remaining 9 will have 1/2 1/3rd capacity for f-35b's, the rest will be for marines/landing forces. currently there are 7 amphibs that the US has available right now that can carry around 6 f-35b's each but they are getting replaced. so if all 11 were active that would be close to 100 f-35B and well over 10,000 Marines. Working with AUS forces you're getting to 15,000 soldiers, 100 fighter jets and a score of helicopters.
      The one major issue is most of this force projection will be for a Taiwan contingency and none of these forces have any training with Taiwan.

    Most of you know that the marines are “basically” a part of the navy. Wouldn’t it be cool if the historical structural and organizational development of the army airborne paratroopers had developed where they were part of the air force. They jump out of planes, the air force has big transport planes, the navy has marines, so naturally the air force should have the department of the airborne corps. They could be responsible for defense of airbases and can act as a large, rapid insertion force utilizing the air force’s global reach. It would make sense. But the really cool thought is when the space force gets large space ships, the navy can transfer its duties and personnel to space carrier missions and the they could fold in the marine corp to be space marines. Its not just sci fi, we are living in the historical events as they are still just the seeds.
