Rant tiem

To a certain point it's nice to specialize, but then again there's no reason you can't have specialization within a larger group. Just split everything into either Army or Navy and call it good.

You can already buy tanks legally, do that instead.

Separate service arms is one thing, giving every regiment their own navy and air force is a completely different thing.

More the fool you.

My reasoning for the number: There are only two hospital ships and they alternate dealing with all wounds during a US invasion, so any wound that can't wait a day or so for a real hospital in Germany is going to result in death. Iraq had about 4,000 dead and 35,000 critically wounded, ergo almost ten times more dead.

Split the existing air and naval assets and personnel among the various regiments and turn them into borderline self sufficient armies in their own right.

Or assign every land unit its own ship to provide transportation and fire support.

Definitely retiring equipment without a successor.
Losing the capacity entirely is way worse than losing part of it.

And while a dedicated Wasp would likely lose some hospital space (but not necessarily much that depends how big the plane hangar is) compare to them you could still have a very potent NATO Class III field hospital (which a regular Wasp-class already has, with about half the capacity of a Mercy-class, so one with a bigger hospital might do 75%) that can move fast, has plenty of ways to get the injured in, with possibly it's own CASEVAC medicalized air/sea transport fleet reducing the strain on army CASEVAC (regular armed and armored CASEVAC fly from battlefield to level II field hospital, white unarmed modified with medical gear and medics fly from FH to the ship) and being still a Wasp you could fit it with a proper set of self-defense weapons (because no one respect the red cross these days especially not the mudslimes. Vulnerability has always been a big concern of the Mercy-class).

Would writing to the White house and local senators help or is the situation jewed beyond repair?

That would work, if possible give Squadron strength CAS to every company (probably not realistic, but a man can dream), with Air Superiority attached at the Regimental or Battalion level. Whatever precise division of aircraft and ships though the point would be to make them organic components; primarily to help cut down on internal bullshit and procurement fuckery, and hopefully creating a more effective and synergistic armed force designed to move faster and with less hassle. You could also cut a lot of redundant spending by combining support units, admin, etc.
