Should Army and Marines (or components of) consolidate?

Stay as it is, we all have each other’s backs when it comes down to the wire, and it is one brotherhood. But there’s a lot of different aspects to each branch. Just fix communications with the upper echelon.

I once worked for a Fortune 500 company that had two Divisions. The products assigned to each were pretty much duplicates of each other. Let's say one division sold Coca-Cola and the other sold Pepsi.
The idea was that the two divisions would compete with each other for sales, all of which meant profit for the corporation, which did not care if that profit came from Division 1 or Division 2. Profit was profit, no matter what Division generated it.
I'd encourage that kind of competition between the branches, for earned respect of a powerful military force, always emphasizing all their efforts are for the same flag, Constitution, and country.

The only way that the Army would ever let the Marine Corp in is if the powers who be would put them together. Both can do the same job, my job never stopped at 5pm and neither did my training. Saying was bleed in training not in combat. The only way these two would be put together is because the politicians wants less headaches. It is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. When the politicians hear anything about the military you always hear them say "A'NAM".

Agreed with LTC Labrador. Too many differences in training, equipment, mission capabilities, just the historic differences.

No possibility. Missions, capabilities, training too different.

In a word, no.

I have a lot of friends that have served in the other branches. Each branch had their own mission. The Mairne Corps is the presidents own. I really honestly think there would be too many problems.

No,leave the Marines alone,the Army and Marines do the same basic job,but in much different ways.

Negative the Marine Corps is a branch of the Navy.
