So you overheard some clowns blowing smoke and you took it to be bona fide U.S. military doctrine? Let me tell you something, chief. I had the great pleasure of training with Royal Marines, an entire battalion in fact, when they deployed with us on the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit back in the early 90s. Funny, but they were there to learn and incorporate OUR TACTICS during combat readiness training and deployment, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Furthermore those cats were solid. Well disciplined, ready to go. What did you do on that air base you BOAST OF? Cook chow? Turn wrenches in the motorpool? I made an informed observation. All you've done is drop names and make excuses. Bottom line: those guys in the photo are not in good military form. And yes I am a vet with the Corps, and yes I have been to infantry school, and yes I am a combat veteran. You insist the U.S. military bases its tactics on those of the British, yet any private in our infantry could point out the poor form in that photo...
