Marine Corps Commandant James Amos explains how the marines will adapt to their changing financial landscape as sequestration begins to take effect in a video released Friday.

“I ask you to save every round, every gallon of gas. That you take every single aspect or opportunity in training to get the most bang for the buck,” Amos explains. “This is no time to do business as usual. Things have changed. The landscape has changed.”

The Marines are slated to lose $1.4 billion, or 6 percent, from their current fiscal year’s budget due to sequestration.

4 Star General Warns Marines To Prepare For New Battleground

March 25, 2013 by Admin Leave a Comment

General James Amos a 4 star general is telling Marines to save ammo and prepare for a different kind of battle.

As a Naval Aviator, Amos commanded the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and 2004. He served as the 31st Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps from July 3, 2008 to October 22, 2010. Amos assumed his current assignment on October 22, 2010.

In his YouTube video, General Amos warns about a “different landscape” and encourages people to think smarter. The General also encourages Marines to, “Save every round, every gallon of gas.”

This comes during a time when the DHS has stockpiled over 2 billion rounds of ammunition, purchased nearly 3000 tanks and refuses to answer questions about why they are doing it.

This comes on the heels after Captain Terry M. Hostile United States Army, Retired, urged citizens to write to Senators demanding action against the DHS.

In a recent interview with Rep. Huelskamp at CPAC, he had expressed concerns to DHS over the purchase but received no response.

“They have no answer for that question. They refuse to answer to answer that,” Huelskamp said on the video of the purchases. His office told Whispers that he had sent a letter to DHS with his concerns but had not heard back.
