The U.S. Marine Corps Has a Choice: Transform or Die
If the Corps does not veer from its current course, it will lose the things that differentiate it from the Army and the special operations community. 
DAKOTA WOOD | OCTOBER 16, 2022
 
   
At some point, the Senate will have to start deliberations on the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. Part of that debate will determine the way forward for the Marine Corps.

There is no question the Corps is in poor shape to handle the security challenges of the near future. Gen. David H. Berger acknowledged this in 2019 when he became Commandant. His predecessor did as well.

Berger warned that the service risked becoming irrelevant if it did not change. He has pushed to shift the Corps’ focus back to what differentiates it from the U.S. Army: amphibious operations and land operations in support of a naval campaign. These functions not only define the Corps, they are required by law.

Yet a small but potentially influential cadre of retired Marine generals don’t want the Corps to move in this direction. They are actively lobbying lawmakers to block or overturn Berger’s initiatives.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Can the Corps survive WOKE agendas being pushed on the Marines that will tear the Corps apart?  Democrats have been successful in polluting the military services in many areas already, while empowering our enemies  Democrats have already damaged other military services in many areas, and foreign enemies are becoming more and more bolder against us.
