No. And that's me with 27 years in the Marines saying it. 180,000 men with only a few tanks would not be able to handle the Russian or the Chinese PLA all by our lonesome.

The navy transports folks and stuff and fights other navies. The Marines are the thin edge of the axe to break the door down, the US army is the mass of steel in that axe to finish the job.

You ever done any reading about the battle for Europe or to fight off the NKs and Chinese in Korea?

Give the Army budget to the Navy and the Marines. Give the BP the manpower and personel they need from the Army budget. Increase ICE 20 fold.
