Should army and marines consolidate
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.

Hell no! Marines are Marines sms went they say, we make Marines. Army are just another branch of service just like Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force. Keep them separate.

No, different capabilities. Sure they overlap, but we are the best tankers because Marines do not understand how to use tanks; and we need Marines in MAGTAFS becausu it would take months to train Army guys how to do that. Whose brilliant idea was it that we do not need both?
