Date: February 28th, 2018 11:29 AM Author: Plum Razzmatazz Hell Pozpig They would. The problem is that they require naval assets to use outside of the United States. The Marines don’t have their own carriers or even, as I understand it, their own refueling/tanker squadrons.
It’s kind of a stupid hypo for that reason. The modern Marine Corps could probably defend the homeland alone in that scenario but logistically there’s just no way to move them around and keep them supplied without the Navy. |

The Marines also lack experience and training in this type of warfare, since they've almost exclusively fought in urban environments for the past four decades. |

They either break through an enemy encirclement only to get further away from their supplies, or they remain encircled and wither and die.

Date: March 1st, 2018 1:04 AM Author: big aqua native fortuitous meteor jfc TMF we all know you're dumb but some days you really just make a normal IQmo's head spin.
no one's saying numbers *don't* matter, but dipshits like you trying to "win" by arguing USMC couldn't equal allies' achievements if they time-warped into WWII as it *was* are displaying remarkably low IQ and RC fail of the OP.
the 2018 Marines don't have to fight the battle of the bulge or midway. they don't have to route italy or storm normandy on the way to liberating vichy france. they don't have to fight a european war on eastern and western fronts or successfully press towards the shadow of moscow, nor must they expel germany from poland. indeed if you deign to read the OP, 1942 russia and germany are on the SAME SIDE.
they're fighting the USMC at 2018 strength sans nukes. in *that* scenario, 2018 Marines with their (as compared to TTT ruskie/jap) incomprehensible force projection, sea power, air power, penetrators, and air superiority fighters, would literally firebomb any city they felt like with total impunity, while obliterating any hostile seacraft or aircraft before it got within 500 miles of US coastline.
sure, 250,000 marines might not be capable of occupying and holding all of germany, russia, and japan simultaneously, but their airpower/firepower could make vast swaths of enemy territory un-defendable and area denial weapons would make equally large chunks uninhabitable. it's always going to be hard for a foreign expeditionary force to completely occupy a distant land, but marines could easily do targeted decapitation strikes dropping enough manpower and heavy artillery with pinpoint accuracy to fell any adversary's capitol. after that it's just a matter of using air superiority to form a perimeter around moscow or tokyo, and mow down all forces turning around and slouching towards the former seat of power like lambs to slaughter. at that point psychological demoralization, fatigue, and unthinkable troop losses on a daily basis ensure that even non-US fags fight to some sort of "stalemate" the reality is that europe and asia will never recover.
TL;DR Jap Kikes, Kraut Kikes and Commie Kikes would stand zero chance of "defeating" the US and our boys would disembowel fifteen of them for every man we lost.
the hypo is 2018 USMC v. |

And as I demonstrated, even if it were 20:1 the USMC would still lose. |

Date: February 28th, 2018 6:09 PM Author: thirsty den They could probably defend the USA, just by using their mini-carriers and F18s. Those fast enough and fly high enough to absolutely pwn any invasion attempt.
But they'd have the same problem that the Wehrmacht had against the Subhuman slav soviets, you take too much territory and supply lines get long, and they start picking you off. Their ~200 F18's can only fly so many sorties--even if you have gave them unlimited payloads. If they only have the bombs they already have, no fucking chance.
They might be able to beat the Germans in France if the Germans tried to fight a big battle. But if the Germans just decided to dig into Paris, they could turn it into a Stalingrad like battle. Marines going street to street would fare little better than WWII units.
Same goes for battles like Iwo Jima. Our bombing would be more precise, but having to take the island yard by yard would have similar causalities.
It took 25k marines to clear 3,000 insurgents in Fallujah (fucking arabs--aka worst soldiers in the world). And they had ~700 causalities.
Germans, Soviets and Japanese could turn every midsized city in Europe into Fallujah X 10. |

Date: February 28th, 2018 8:34 PM Author: Heady chest-beating stage multi-billionaire If all current Marines, materiel, supplies, and installations were magically transported this instant to the year 1942, with nothing changing except the year (and Marines embarked on Naval vessels transported to the nearest Marine installation), the Marines would crush the Nazis and Japan within a week.
We would drop a couple JDAMs on the Imperial Palace this very evening, flying out of Okinawa, and they would never know what hit them. After all, an entire fucking MEF materializing on an island within Japanese territory is a pretty fucking awesome element of surprise.
Germany would fall shortly afterwards. Jet fighters would crush the Luftwaffe; Germany's then-experimental first-generation Me-262 is laughable in comparison. Once Hitler caught wind of super-fast jet fighters running circles around his best tactical advantage, he'd swallow his cyanide pill and be done with it. We'd have to use commercial freight to get us to the UK without the Navy, but from there it's easily doable.
The USSR is a little trickier. I'd recommend we do a long-range insertion by Osprey around the Winter Palace and hold Stalin under siege with tanks and infantry (defensive fires provided by a couple arty batteries) until he agrees to a ceasefire where we pull all U.S. Marines out of eastern europe.

there is no way i can see the Marines not adapting quickly to the situation and winning via an air war.
they obviously can't take large swaths of territory, but can presumably defend strategic airbases with modern radar, artillery, tanks, drones, anti-aircraft weaponry. From these bases they can launch ceaseless air attacks.
marine aircraft should be invulnerable.

Assuming we are not being shitheads about things like "Marines can't refuel their planes without the navy" then the Marines win easily. They would not be able to occupy a foreign country, but they could cripple any country with ease. |
