Why do we have branches should be the question. Since we don't mass paradrops or amphibious landings anymore, what's the difference between army and marine infantry?

Elijah,
Marines establish beachheads and by God they hold them until the Army forces can move in and begin advancing. Don't be fooled, they have just as much responsibility as anyone else during hostilities. Take Granada for instance, Marines was so bad assed, they didn't need Army involvement.

Louis,
My point is that Marine infantry and Army infantry is redundant. Both can do the other's job.

Although you would never have it defined as such anywhere in the DOD I consider them separate. Having served with Marines and being attached to them during a few deployments I will always feel like they are their own branch; though technically incorrect and I know that.
