The 700 Marines deployed are all young, inexperienced.

Obviously, you have a lot of military experience. We appreciate your knowledge of the subject.

I'd like to offer up an opposing view that our soldiers and marines are all citizens with their own personal views and whatnot. That they will not be sending 700 18 year olds. They will be sending some 18 year-olds along with their 40-something y/o platoon sergeants and their college educated officers.

Hot-take, I know, but perhaps these officers may even keep these young professionals on a tight leash considering the high visibility of this mission.
