Reverse the deactivation of 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines. The Battalion can be supported by cutting aid to countries such as Pakistan and China. It is a shame that we are disbanding Marine infantry battalions, while continuing to send billions of dollars to such countries. After the September 11th attacks, the United States government launched a war against Iraq and Afghanistan just to kill the mastermind in Pakistan. I could continue to list the billions being spent in failed states such as Afghanistan and Somalia. However, the fact that we appropriated 7 million dollars of foreign aid to China is beyond disgusting. We ran out of money and can no longer afford to maintain 3rd Battalion 4th Marines, but we can afford to give China 7 million dollars? Zach G. USMC 2005 - 2009
