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.

Why would you take a Navy asset and mission with no real reason. Can’t distinguish command structures and needs across the spectrum. Seems easy but actually ignoring the fact that Marine training and development is for a truly different purpose. Handicap Naval Operations by prioritizing Army needs over misunderstood operational requirements.

Absolutely not. The army doesn't earn the title marine, they shouldn't be considered in the same category or group. It's insulting to the ones that do earn the title marine.

There is a reason why the Marine Corps is tasked with Embassy security and Marine 1. Simply put the are the We are the best. Semper Fi.

I believe the maxim holds true that the US doesn't NEED the Marine Corps, they WANT the Marine Corps.

No. The Esprit de Corps is essential to the effectiveness of the Marine Corp. This would be diluted heavily if this consolidation were to take place.
