Think objectively. Traditions, camaraderie aside. Both are somewhat similarly more combat-oriented than USN or USAF. Answer practically without putting down either one of them.
PS: Yes, some are taunting about USN and USAF consolidation or Air Force return to Army Air Corps. My take on that if it's practical, lessen bureaucracy, and make for a smoother communications pipeline amongst the DoD components, why not? Again, camaraderie and traditions aside for a min.

The Marines are the ground force of the Navy. 10% of the Navy budget. Why would they ever go Army. It's set ans shouldnt change. With exception of the budget should be larger for the Marines. Though that may mess things up because Marines are agile and resourceful sue to the lack of resources.

The mission is, and always will be, to defeat our enemy. Coordination of that effort remains with officers. A joint effort, including all branches will ensure that out team wins. We all bleed the same color and there is no branch more important than another. Especially today when a silly drone can wile us out. Think about that. We can be as physical as we want but some geek from miles away directing that drone can defeat Superman!

Hmmm, if I'm correct to of our best fighting forces fall under The Department of the Navy (The Marine Corps and The Navy Seals!)

Hell no! The Corps is a totally different animal from top to bottom. Keep them separate.

Look, I spent 8 years in the Marine Corps and then I got out with a Honorable discharge. After being out for 6 months I tried to back in the Corps, but they were not taking Former Marines at the time. So, I went into the Army and stayed for 2 years in the Artillery side as a 13B20. The difference between the 2 was like night and day. The Marine Corps must stay as the Corps only, if they consolidate the Army and Marine Corps together then the Marine Corps will lose. The Marine Corps is “the Few, the Proud, the Marines”. By the Corps staying small it has been able to train a better and elite fighting warrior, better than the Army. Hands down......
