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 has always had a need for an amphibious ability, this is the USMC and why it within the Department of the Navy and not an independent service.

Yes, consolidation could be done, but I see no reason that it should be done.

No way no how, the USMC is the Best Trained fearist Infantry branch of all the armed forces.

No on all accounts, each service has their unique mission set and the senior leaders in charge of each have been groomed to run them across their careers, there's no comparison or similarity in missions... leave it alone!

Marines already fall under the Navy for all practical purposes, it is the simplest way to go.

I am an Army Veteran and I do not agree with this. Although it takes all of the military to win a war, combining these two will not be beneficial. I am Army all the way, and my first page did not say call the marines. That being said let's us do our jobs. Combine Air Force and navy if you want, but the Marines already have the Navy to help them. We all have a mission to do so let us do our mission and marines do theirs.
