Somebody has to get the Marines to where they're going. If they don't
mind a long ride, they take a boat. If they're needed a bit quicker,
they take a plane. Airplanes typically require a runway, and
Mogadishu had one. What they didn't have was atc and weather. Too
bad the Marines aren't self-propelled. It would save everyone a lot
of trouble.
Why?
According to a SecDef inteview on Sixty Minutes a few years back, the
Commander-in-Chief wants to know two things when the stuff hits the
fan...Where are the nearest carriers, and is the MEF ready to hit the
beach...?!?!
According to a DoD Directive and three Regulations -
The "M" in MARS = MILITARY
The "A" in MARS = AFFILIATE
MARS is NOT "amateur radio."
The only thing that "hit the fan" in this thread is nursie's cursing and
foul-mouthed, foul-minded pejoratives and denigrations connected
with his psychosis of being unable to separate a civilian hobby radio
activity from the murine corps.
Try to stay focussed, EX-murine. Amateur radio is NOT the same as
the USMC.
No runways or ATC needed.
You are fantasizing again. Amateur radio is NOT the same as the
USMC.
And no particular interest in the USAF or it's MWR department.
Just a mission.
Nursie could convert to Catholicsm in order to take a Retreat at some
Mission. The peace and quiet might soothe the savage, disordered
beast within him.
MARS is NOT "amateur radio."
