I missed the story behind "Upman" but the USMC is responding to the controversy

Snafu-solomon.blogspot - Wed, 15/07/2026 - 09:56

The Marine Corps is aware of the disturbing statements made by William Upham, who was medically discharged on May 30, 2025. The comments made by Upham are a direct violation of the oath he swore to uphold and are not in keeping with the service's values.

— U.S. Marines (@USMC) July 15, 2026 I guess its the statements he made in this video and saying that Trump should be killed all while in UNIFORM. Why he isn't in the brig is a mystery to me but it has to do with his psych eval I'd bet.

We should have bought CB90's...

U.S. Marines ride in a Multi-Mission Reconnaissance Craft Bravo at Naha Military Port, Okinawa, Japan, June 10, 2026. Offering superior maneuverability in shallow waters, these boats allow for rapid deployment in support of littoral operations. They are equipped to transport personnel and supplies, ensuring Marine forces maintain operational tempo and sustainment in austere, distributed environments. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.

What does that mission set sound like? Yeah. That fits the CB90 to a tee only it would do it better. Better? I mean its faster, can carry more gear and troops, is out the box ready to mount weapons, launch uavs and sensors too. Did I mention that it is designed to operate in the "littorals"? The Marine Corps once again looked for an elegant solution instead of a ready made one. The USMC isn't threatened by extinction because its a "second land army". Fuck no. The Marine Corps is threatened by extinction because its NO LONGER A BARGAIN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!! Below is a pick of the boat we should have bought. The mighty CB90!
