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.

This is Corporal Thomas from USMC and I have yet to see the same fight n gett some attitude from my army counterparts. There's a reason why we're referred to as the presidents 911 team to be called. We're simply better at adapting and overcoming on the fly. It's that simple to me. Just this Marines opinion

I think that all the branches need to consolidate their military intelligence into a joint community. Service members should also drop packets for it just as you do for Warrant Officer.

I thank all members of the Military for their service and sacrifice . The Marines and Army are top branches when it comes to ground pounding ,but there are a few distinct differences.
The Marines are an initial shock force , yes with amphibious capabilities which we are known for n but also for our deep history of fierce fighting abilities . The Marine Corps is not meant to be a long occupying force , That's where the Army comes in .
This is their bread and butter. We do both offer out versions of special forces and one would day theirs is better than the other , but when you get down to it n Marines are just a different breed.
Could both the Marines and Army get along , sure . Would we have eachoyhers back in a fight, absolutely . But we are separate entities for a reason, both brining unique ways of accomplishing the mission.
I have many family members in the Army and I have the utmost respect for them as any military member, but at the same time there are vast differences between us .

I got cut off. As I was saying ..
I work with alot of military, specifically Army and their attitude and how the carry themselves is night and day compared to that of the Marines. Some good and some bad , but still very different.
In the end If this happened it would be a huge adjustment for both branches and I'm sure we as Marines would do as always have ..Adapt and Overcome .

If it ain't broke don't fix it! The Army is a very
diverse organization which is exceedingly
flexible. Tha Marines are smaller and highly
focused in their training for special operations.
The training purposes and motivation are not
similar to the Army.
Each service has a unique purpose and has
proven to be exceedingly successful.

Just analyze the operations in Granada. USMC held 90% of the Island 72 hours in, those “elite” Army units were still working on the airport. Ditch the Army, grow the Corp.
