LO,
The USMC are a highly effective fighting force with a great history. They have a first class ethos, fight hard and play hard. They also have an excellent record of leadership, and spend a lot of time developing their concept of operations with the US Joint Staffs. They also encourage open debate with their young officer corps. Go to an open seminar at Quantico if you don't believe me.
And the considered judgement of the Air Force on the USMC concept of ops for F-35B? Apparently it's 'plain silly'.
I don't think I can add to that.
No, I really can't.
Best regards
