"Wrong again. Marines deploy as units and marine tour of duty was 13 months."-- thompsonx
Pay attention to what you read before you reply.
Where, in what you quoted, do I say that Marine Vietnam deployments were 6 months? The Fleet Marine Force deployed as long as the Amphibious Readiness Groups that carried them deployed. The Amphibious readiness group deployed as long as the Marines needed to be deployed.
Those deployments generally ranged from 6 to 9 months... or longer if the mission required it. There were also Marines that didn't deploy on ships, who deployed to Vietnam.
Obviously, 13 months is included in the 6 months and up category.
Your narrow focus in this argument speaks strongly against you having served in Vietnam.
