NPC Luncheon with General James F. Amos, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps

General James Amos, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, discussed the role of the Marines as America's crisis response force at a National Press Club luncheon on August 28, 2012. Since being confirmed in October 2010 as the first career aviator to lead the Marines, Gen. Amos has overseen a force exhausted by a decade of war. He recently embarked on a worldwide tour to warn Marines to clean up their act after a series of embarrassing incidents pointed to a breakdown in the storied discipline of the Corps.
