The other thing that struck me as laughable were the numbers involved (red, in OP). From the article:
The Corps has about 180,000 Marines, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced last week that it would grow by about 22,000 people at a rate of about 5,000 per year to a total end strength of 202,000 by 2012.

I'm confused, what do you find so laughable?
