Speaking to reporters Wednesday, [General James] Conway said both individual Marines and the Corps institution are feeling the stress of multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
...
Conway said he is concerned about what will eventually happen to Marines who have already deployed and are now in supporting roles have to deploy again.
...
The grind also means the Corps is focused almost solely on counterinsurgency operations. Conway said units are no longer training as many Marines for other combat contingencies.
...
The Marines are an invasion force, not cops, not an occupation force. They are not interchangable with the Army. About time someone in D.C. realized that fact.
