On a recent Wednesday, JD Vance, the first U.
S. Vice President with a Marine Corps background, spent a significant day at Virginia's Marine Corps Base Quantico.
As reported by Teri Christoph, Vance had been delayed due to an Oval Office meeting but made his way to Quantico on Marine Two, carrying a message from President Trump: "We love ya, we're proud of ya and we're going to support you every single step of the way."
Upon his arrival, Vance was greeted with enthusiasm as he addressed his fellow Marines with a spirited "Oorah!" He humorously noted that although he had never been stationed at Quantico during his service, he was a "proud member of the E-4 mafia."
Vance expressed his motivation for seeking the vice presidency, stating it was time for "the colonels and the generals to listen to the corporals for a change." According to RedState, this visit was not only a morale booster but also a strategic move by the Trump administration to highlight their commitment to the military.
The visit was followed by a video released by Team Trump, showcasing Vance's interaction with the Marines and emphasizing the administration's dedication to maintaining a robust and effective military force. The video, which could easily serve as a recruitment tool, featured Vance's statement: "The United States is strong thanks to the strength of our Armed Forces. President Trump and I want excellence in Americas military, and we are going to make sure our Marines are the best, most lethal fighting force in the world ????"
This message stands in stark contrast to the perceived weakness of the previous administration. The Trump administration has already demonstrated its commitment to national security, as evidenced by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's directive to deploy additional U.S. Army troops to the southern border, aiming for "100% operational control."
The hope is that the results of the 2024 election will inspire young Americans to contribute to rebuilding the military's strength. The Trump administration's actions reflect a dedication to traditional values, emphasizing a strong national defense and the importance of a capable military. As the nation looks to the future, the administration's focus on military excellence and national security remains a priority, ensuring that the United States maintains its position as a global leader in defense capabilities.
