Maybe North Korea.

The last Marine Amphibious assualt was in Korea, over 50 years ago.

If the reduction of 5,000 men wasn't so drastic how come it did not occur?

hmmm?

Did you know that the Rumsfield/Bush agenda was to REDUCE the size of the
beloved Marine Corps?

Yes. From 180,000 to 175,000 over a period of 5 years. A drastic
reduction.
Where do you figure we'll have to make a beach assault against Al Queda
over
the next 5 years?
