Should army and marines consolidate
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.

As a former Marine and a daughter that serves as a Dr. in the Army branch has it's own standards and mission and neither would want to be joined in any way.

I think we are forgetting that Marines are sent in while Army and the rest are waiting on congressional approval. Pres doesn’t need that for Marines.

My professional opinion on this subject is no I do not believe the two branch’s should consolidate together. Both branches and their service members take pride in not only their branch but their title in their branch it would be an insult to all those hard working Services men and women who have put in the time and effort to be what they are now, and it would be a bigger slap in the face to those who came before us to help set the honor and traditions in both branches.

Absolutely not. It is legitimately insulting to any marine.

Here is a good question. How come a Marine doesn’t have to attend any other service boot camp if he wants to join that branch, but any other service man as to go through Marine Corp boot camp? How come the Marines rifle range is harder than any other branch?

Absolutely not. I thought it was a mistake when the army and marine corps combined some mos schools. I saw a lack of instruction in some of my marines when they got to the fleet. We had to spend weeks retraining them. Although the army and marine corps are on the dame team, we have different missions. Nothing against the army, but they don't do what the corps does. Semper Fi.
