So here is one I do not fully understand and I haven't quite understood it since I was in uniform. I have a suspicion I know what is behind it. Does anyone know or can anyone explain what is behind the 82nd Airborne vs USMC rivalry? In my opinion it is far more heated at times than the Army Grunt vs Marine Grunt rivalry. I think it might have to do with Marines saying they are just like Airborne Rangers and a large % of the 82nd Airborne is made up of past participants of that program (that didn't make it all the way to graduation) but that is just my working hypothesis.
So please someone from the 82nd Airborne explain what is behind the rivalry with the Marines? Just curious.

The Marines were a promotion... the 82nd kicks ass & takes names... Marines kill everything in sight and move on... let God worry about who they were
