After Nearly a Century, the U.S. Marine Corps Is Ditching Its Tanks

Removing the bridging vehicles sounds dumb as dirt.

Why do I smell the stench of change cheerleaders in this?

to a point i understand not having a need on a small island with no rivers or other water or obstacles that need to be crossed.
but that doesn't mean their never gonna be needed again.

every Marine is a rifleman first. if there's no need for a bridge, leave that sh@@ parked put a rifle, motor, machine gun  in their hands and send them out to the field. then if you need a bridge built pull them out and send them to build it or bring the equipment to them and put them to work.

the more rounds and overwhelming fire power down range the better.
