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.

I love my Marine brothers and sisters, but no way should they be forced into the Army umbrella! I love the Army the way it is, the Marines love the Corps the way it is...don't screw with a good thing.

I will default to LTC Paul Labrador. There would be a severe learning curve for both Amry & Corps. Until the powers that be are ready to address that type of readiness issue, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it "

I’m old school but these are two entirely different types of combat trained.

No, Marines and Navy are the compatible parts not Marines and Army. Unless the Navy decides to make an MOS for amphibious assault and/ or maritime raids and ship boardings at sea. The Army doesn’t have that capability unless they put soldiers on board Navy ships, which is dumb because Marines are already a department of the Navy. That was our original mission and we play that role today.

Not no, but fuck no. The ethos and traditions of both services would collide like Catholics and Baptists. Sure, both are Christian but they have their peculiarities of worship. I have friends from MARSOC and Fifth Group and while I love them both, combining the two services as a matter of expediency does disservice to both.
