Steve’s Barking; The last time the U.S. pulled an amphibious assault was 1955

 The United States hasn’t pulled an amphibious assault since the Korean War. So what you may ask. Well the Pres of the United States implies that we may intervene in Venezuela because of drug trafficking ,and possibly go into Nigeria. Well the U.S. did intervene in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Didn’t the U.S. have bases near those countries and I’m pretty sure we don’t have bases near Venezuela and Nigeria so the United States would either have to parachute into these countries or go by sea. Now unless the U.S. takes over these countries 48 hrs after the troops have landed it would seem very hard ( according to me) to sustain the action because of Logistics , so the only possible way to fight in those countries is through an amphibious assault were they can replenish the troops with equipment and more troops. Ah but tge US  hasn’t had an amphibious assault since 1955. An amphibious assault not that easy, The US can easily lose several hundred troops killed or wounded and actually doing the job of protecting Christians in Nigeria and stopping drug smugglers in  Venezuela extremely difficult.l
