How to bring in a Harrier, Iwakuni style
“It’s the only kind in the world, the only one in the world. It was specially delivered to us to assist Marine Aircraft Group 12 in maintaining their qualifications to fly without having to go too far and leave this area of operation to do it, so it gives them the ability to train here on deck.”-Gunnery Sergeant Charles Maddox

Being a ‘tanker’ is more than just ‘humping’ rounds; there’s lots of busting wheel hubs and tracks, fueling, a little mine/lane clearing and then finally some live fire:

Notice the 120mm round has a shell casing made of clear combustible plastic/cellulose, the silver-grey color is the explosive charge. The steel end-cap on the combustible shell-casing is called the afcap, it contains the primer charge. The afcaps get recycled onto new 120mm rounds. Kit bashers note that USMC M1A1s have features not found on U.S. Army M1A1s.

Marine Corps General says Obama regime Big Ass Liars & Failures, as thousands of Islamic State operatives already in United States!

“We are technically not at war [refuting the statements of Obama’s Defense Secretary, who was sitting right next to the general!]. We have not contained ISIL.”-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General (USMC) Joseph Dunford essentially called the Obama regime a bunch of failures in the false war on Islamic State-ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]).
Pig face Obama regime stooge Ashton Carter openly lied to Congress, then USMC General Dunford (sitting next to him) called him on it!
Watch the general’s statements to Congressman Randy Forbes (after Ashton Carter revealed new Special Operations battlefront with Syria & Iraq and officially stated we were “at war”. Only the U.S. Congress can declare war, and they have yet to do so):
The statements made by USMC General Dunford, which directly contradict what Defense Secretary Carter said while sitting right next to him, come after a George Washington University report revealed potentially “thousands” of DAIISH supporters inside the United States!
New York and Minnesota are the top two U.S. states for arrests relating to DAIISH: 
False Flag: Obama says no signs of impending terrorist attack upon U.S., so get ready for it!

World War 3: U.S. Marines attacked in Turkey. USS Abraham Lincoln leaves Persian Gulf.
18 July 2012, a group of U.S. Marines (Some reports say sailors. Some reports say soldiers, but USN & USMC personnel are not referred to as ‘soldiers’) on shore leave in Turkey were attacked.
A group claiming to be the Turkish Youth Association (TGB) attacked U.S. forces in the port city of Antalya. TGB members verbally insulted the Marines and tried to put bags on their heads GITMO/Abu Ghraib style. Turkish police broke up the assaults and detained seven people.
People of Turkey are protesting the presence of the USS Abraham Lincoln. The aircraft carrier left the Persian Gulf on 16 July, the same day the Pentagon announced sending yet another aircraft carrier to the volatile region.
World War 3: First unit of U.S. Marines arrives in Australia
Back in November, Peaceprize winner Barack Obama, announced he was sending 2,500 U.S. Marines to Australia.
April 4, 2012, the first 200 U.S. Marines arrived in Darwin, Australia.
Over the next five to six years the United States will send a total of 2,500 military personnel, including artillery and armored units.
This is part of a new U.S. defense strategy, announced earlier in the year, which also plans to make greater use of Australian naval and air force bases.
