Super awesome that the heaviest hitters in the industry are folding like this. It’s almost as if the entire legal profession is worth jack shit. Jesus tapdancing christ.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.
