#1 ION WORLD MIL FORUM > IIUC US "MARINE CORP TIMES" MEDIA: OVER-RELIANCE ON GPS MAY LEAD TO MANY US SOLDIERS, MARINES TO LOSE TRADITIONAL MAP-READING AND OTHER PHYSICAL LAND NAVIGATION SKILLS.

So-o-o IOW, think the kids' movie "ANTZ"> LEAF FALLS IN FRONT OF LEAD WORKER ANT WHOM SCREAMS "I'M LOST" TO LONG SINGLE-FILE ANT COLUMN BEHIND HIM, and widout realizing he could just walk around the leaf on either side to safely resume the trail???

#2 "The Media" has no idea how Marines are Army troops are trained, otherwise they would understand that the TROOPS aren't "over-dependent" on anything but their weapons. Many Marines are quite capable of inflicting heavy casualties with little more than a K-bar and some heavy cord. Maybe "the media" should go through Paris Island before they're allowed to comment on Marines.

#3 If a Nork missile landed in Hanauma Bay Barry would do absolutely nothing. Gibbs would simply say...... "it landed harmlessly in the ocean."

My guess is China has already issued guidance it's to the administration.
