Comments on: “A Revolutionary Step In Making Our Marines More Lethal” https://pat-dollard.com/2007/11/05/a-revolutionary-step-in-making-our-marines-more-lethal/ Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of myself. I landed in Iraq in November 2004 armed with a video camera instead of a weapon...

Anything that increases a Marine's lethality in combat is going to save the lives of fellow Marines. Check out the automatic grenade launcher. That's WAY better than a single-shot .203. Increasing lethality and firepower at the squad and platoon level is the name of the game. The civilian engineering community has been hard at work helping and supporting the warfighter for a long time. The tools and technologies are constantly evolving into better and better warfighter products. In the final analysis, these technologies will help bring more Marines home from whatever battle-space that they find themselves in. And if just one of these new products or technologies saves one more Marine's life, then it is money well-spent. The job of all Marines is to kill the enemy and break things.

The marines are always coming up with kick-_ss projects like this, I am jealous, when is the army going to start getting on board with this kind of stuff. The marine focus on infantry is so key to their success in modern warfare. The Army focuses too much on the technology itself. The marines focus on the soldier, and ask how the technology can be made to fit him. Marines get shorted on the budget, but they don’t have to maintain the logistical tail either.
