Should Army and Marines (or components of) consolidate?

It’s been attempted many times before and has actually gone through a couple times. But
Marines and the Corps has remained a component of the Armed Forces because America wants a Marine Corps. That and they’ve done tests, training and comparisons with The Army showing that it can do what the Corps does in the past and yea the Army can, the Marines have always performed better and more efficiently at the tasks expected of Marines. Not only that but the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy. Doesn’t make sense to me to consolidate a fight force rooted in Naval operations into the Army. So if you asked me if the Marines should just consolidate into the the Navy then I could get behind that since they both are already tied so close together.

Totally agree with LTC Paul Labrador

Slit my wrists and let me bleed out! I earned and maintained the title United States Marine through sweat and hard work. 75% of the Army could not be Marines, they are weak and undisciplined, also undertrained. Also most fear what it takes to be a Marine, that's ehy they joined the Army. And I honestly dont care if I offend anyone. Maybe turn it around...cherry pick the best from the Army and turn them into Matines....if they can hack it. Keep a smaller Army as they are basically usless the wsy they are trained now. They are simply very well equipped pussies, not War fighters. Semper Fi.

No. Two separate forces with different missions

No

There is a very distinct difference in the doctrines of warfare. Both are needed. In addition the Marine Corps is the branch of service protected by Congressional law.

Well honestly the air force should go back to the army air corps and marines stay the same as always the bullheaded rough tough sonofabitches that is the angry brother of my beloved branch the army can’t say anything bad about them they are the most loyal people there are along side the army

No they should not Im army proud but why would you do away with your naval infantry that are trained in water born specialty missions you need a fighting force sold dedicated to naval security besides that why they already train both forces together in common field task that need to be addressed but in some cases by the department of the Navy

Combat orientated, yes- trained much different. USMC really pushes weapons marksmanship, they are much more integrated than Army. Habitually their Armor, Air, Artillery units train together all the time. If you are light infantry- you have NO Armor, no Air but what is flying around, and only your Arty folks which are always attached to you. Also- the Army does not like charging straight up the middle of a beach on an Amphib assault!

No if any thing the airforce should be reabsorbed back into the army air corps.
