Should basic training be the same across all Branches of service?

Yes.

Hell no, but I do think combat arms MOS skills Infantry, Artillery, Armor, Mortars, etc. should be a little higher though than say a Supply Sergeant or Human Resources person. I would like to see an additional PT test for COMBAT MOS where you are in full battle rattle because that fatigues you a lot quicker than PT in running shorts and t shirt. Yes, I know that sometimes a non combat MOS gets tasked out to do combat duties but for garrison, combat MOS should be at a higher level due to the more physical nature and endurance needed.

In some ways yes as far as the discipline by all means but each Branch has it's own traditions which are equally important. Each Branch is assigned different duties in defending our nation. So in my opinion the training needs to be different.

no

While there are some commonalities like drill, military courtesy, UCMJ, all service-wide procedures and benefits, the uniforms missions and service-unique traditions are different, therefore no.

They should all adhere to the same standard of training

There are differences in basic training for each branch because each branch is vastly different. As a service member who has served in multiple branches, I have been fortunate enough to have a better understanding of those differences in operations then some and I am thankful that those differences are in place. No, basic training a crossed American military Armed Forces should not be the same. Leave history and tradition alone and let the trainers do what they are supposed to do; Train the troops with their respective branche's standards.

I would say yes. I don't feel that any branch is hard enough. We should increase the standards and have everyone ready for the worse case scenario.

No. The branches have different responsibilities. I went thru boot camp in the navy and basic training in the army. They were different then .This was in the middle 60's

Great question with many different opinions. Financially, YES. Morale wise, NO. Let us be real, basic military training standards SHOULD BE the same. The technical training after basic is really where the rubber meets the road and, in the recent past, has been combined.
