The U.S. Marine Corps has ordered all its aircraft grounded for a 24 hour-period following two deadly recent crashes in which 19 service members were killed.

“General Robert B. Neller, Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, directed U.S. Marine Corps aviation units to conduct an operational reset for a 24 hour-period where no flight operations will take place but no operational commitments will be impacted,” the USMC said in a statement Friday.

The U.S. Marine Corps has ordered all its aircraft grounded for a 24 hour-period following two deadly recent crashes in which 19 service members were killed.

“General Robert B. Neller, Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, directed U.S. Marine Corps aviation units to conduct an operational reset for a 24 hour-period where no flight operations will take place but no operational commitments will be impacted,” the USMC said in a statement Friday.

“This operational reset will occur within the next two weeks and will be taken at the discretion of commanders, based on their unit's operational commitments, to focus on the fundamentals of safe flight operations, standardization, and combat readiness,” the statement continued.

The move affects about 1,000 aircraft in total, including those currently deployed, a U.S. Marine Corps spokesman confirmed to Fox News. It is up to unit commanders to choose which day during the next two weeks to do the grounding to avoid affecting current operations.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

Sun Tzu advises using the Art of Deception and the allies did so very effectively in WWII.

And in Desert Storm, Gen. Schwarzkopf fakes one way, went the other.

You honestly think this is a decption?

So that Osprey crash was just faked for the Norks benefit?

The fact that 2/3rd of the Navy attack jets can't get off the ground is just an elaborate rouge to make Putin let down his guard?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at a statement like that.
