I found this interesting. I believe the 5th & 6th fleets cover the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East. Why are they training for riot control there?

A non-lethal Marine in Islam? How can this square up with logic?

Marines were not meant to play patty cake with tinker toy guns. We need them to know how to efficiently kill on demand.

They’ll probably need riot control skills when society’s remnants demonstrate their discontent over our national annihilation in nuclear war for the sake of... Syria?
So.... we’re all going to die for... Syria???
What a b*tch.

The Marine Corps has been doing non-lethal training since the 1950s. The tools and tactics have changed, but there is still a need to prevent a crowd of people from doing what you don’t want them to do without killing them.
