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 way i see it theyre all serving their country. There are people scattered throughout all branches who could beat each other i dont care about earned anything and consolidate in this sense does mean to put them together not expand and fix fml this why i felt like i was surrounded by idiots mostly in the military

You cannot separate camaraderie and tradition aside from any argument in regards to the United States Marine Corps.

This would end whatever branch the USMC consolidated in to. There will be years of segregation then the Marines would shatter every record, good or bad. It’s a bad way to be able to use Marines on American soil.

There has alway been a consolidation with the Corps being under the dept of the navy , you wanna consolidate put the AF back under the dept of the army and leve the Corps as it has always been.

The only components that may be smart to combine is SOCOM. MARSOC is preferably new to the world compared to the Green Baretts. Shit what what I’ve heard they train MARSOC. Other than that Marines earn the title and Soldiers have their own Traditions along with combative tactics. All Marines can pick up a rifle and fight, only infantry in the Army can.

Absolutely not !! The USMC is home of "The Few / The Proud " ! I did not spend 4 years of my life ( 19 weeks boot camp/22 weeks of schooling/ 2 trips to Viet Nam-combat) to be integrated to another branch !!? OOOORAH !!!!

From what I understand I personally like the current setup between branches. As a logical standpoint would it make more sense if the branches that relate with the other ie: marine-navy and army-Air Force were the ones consolidating with each other? I mean marines and coast guard more or less still have Dept of the Navy on their seals?

ex 13B, 10th mtn, OEF '09 and '11, groundpounded my 2nd tour.
I'd say no because they serve two different purposes. The marines are much more of a frontlines focused branch than the army, I'd say more about the objective of breaking up the enemy lines, and the army generally comes in, mops up the rest, and secures the front lines. The army is more of a jack of all trades, the marines tend to be focused.
