Because the army is the only branch that has soldiers. Personal bias might have a role in my decision as well... but overall, bravery is doing something even though you’re scared half to death and I don’t think the majority of marines are intelligent enough to know fear, let alone do something in spite of it.

Served with both down at Ft. Sill. Gotta say this about the Marines. They all managed to stop at the same time when marching. Their priorities were clear.

I did 4 years in USMC, now im out i am thinking about joining the Army. They have a much more relaxed mindset, less arrogance and bull. You know the saying about grass on the other side. If i have any advice for anyone it is to make sure you 100% want to do this. Then if you decide to go through with it, dont forget those initial reasons you joined. They will be what makes you do your term honorably. People will call you “motard” = **** because of your motivation, etc…all in all just make sure its what you want to do, and stick by your guns. You will see people that have lost their way, just keep your head straight and worry about you in country, in combat look to your left n right. Semper fi i hope this helped someone. Its a big decision, you’re not just choosing a career, or a job, its a lifestyle that you must be willing to accept.

These men arn't going through training learning that "they are the best" like the marines do. They keep a similar state of mind of when then joined, making them humbler, and also making them feel a bit more vulnerable when heading into battle.

The Army has a much bigger and broader scope and it is often tasked with establishing and expanding a military presence in the area. Generally speaking, Marines do the job of fighting individual battles, while the Army is more concerned with the war as a whole.

The army is suited for a wider variety of missions and landings. For example, the army makes airborne and land assaults while the marines make amphibious assaults

Training, Schooling, Funds, and the right to say "No" when you are supposed to-- INTEGRITY to do the right thing, for in justice lies victory.
(their uniform and sleeve policy sucks though).

Army trains Marines for airborne, and many other things too.

operating with limited front line support a long time and not considering the logistic capabilities of your opponent is a crucial task and risk to undertake as military.

I believe the Marine Corps has troops because they have far better military bearing and every Marine I have met has been polite, and very sharp looking, while also possessing a keen eye. All the Army personel I have met have not had a certain look in their eyes. (Their eyes sort of look glazed over and don't have a fire to them)

Although both selfishly serve this country, and do a great job at it. The main question is who would you rather have next to you in a fox hole? I would have to go with the US Marine.

People join the Marine Corps because they are they best. There is a reason why people join the Army. Because they don't want to join the Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps has a harder, more intense, and longer bootcamp, followed by Infantry Training. Unlike the Army, whose uniforms do not measure up either.

First, the Marines are NOT a small part of the Navy. The USMC and the USN are both under the Department of Navy.
Second, the Marine motto "Every Marine a Rifleman".
Third, the Army has some excellent units, i.e. Rangers, 10th mountain, Airborne, etc.
Fourth, both the Army and the Marines have some VERY Brave troops.
Fifth, a MAGTF is a self sustaining combined arms force. It and army BCT are as self sustaining as logistics and re-supply will allow.

The Marines are proud to serve their country because whatever they do they valued it with their lives. Relating this culture in terms of money, the pay they receive or things they buy they always recognize their money's worth instead of saying I'm receiving a daily pay of "500 Dollars", they will say "Half a Grant": or Half a Million not 500,000 Dollars, etc...

What you are saying are facts. But comparing the Army vs the Marines should not be based on their mission, or how they fight, organize, train, or equip but should be based on the effects during and after their mission. The Army and Marines are almost similar being ground forces but each of them has their own core competencies. However, the Marines is endowed with distinct competency that the Army does not have ... to do more with less, its part of their service's culture I think.
