What do you think@ThatOneDude ?
"Why do we need the marines?"
"Because you need them for amphibious landings"
"Ok, we've got this thing coming up at Normandy. Kind of a big amphibious landing. Should we use them?"
"Nah, don't need them. In fact we're pretty sure the best troops for this landing will be the Canadian military and they don't even have a marine corps"
"Umm. So, what are we going to do? Just keep them around as a separate branch of the military for another 80 years for no fucking reason?"
"Hurr Durr Semper Fi!"
"The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's"

at the end of the day somebody more educated than me would have to explain why the Marines exist as a separate branch instead of a specialized force simply under another branch. Then again I'm just some dummy that doesn't understand why we spend so much money with separate duty uniform camouflage (hey look that's going away slowly but surely).
I'm not sure I would go as far as propaganda given that they are better trained for combat than either the general Navy or Army under which they would be merged in any removal of branch.
But I do remember reading a long time ago about a Marine corps leader (general?) that justified the Marine corps with "America doesn't need a Marine corps, America wants a Marine corps".

Member when it took 10,000 marines with superior kit to do what 2600 Canadian infantry men did in AfghanistanWe are better trained, just look at Fallujah for the most recent example.

The secret appears to be training year-round with an underfunded military and ancient equipment as a handicap. And then at the last minute switch it all out for American bells and whistles.

Doc, with respect, that quote is fucking retarded, not profound. The issue isn't having a part of the military that is designed to perform some of the specialised functions of the current marine corp, it's having a separate 'marine' branch that performs many functions that have nothing to do with those original purposes and which could easily be subsumed into the traditional branches. If the marine corp has better trainers and troop standards, you can just use those trainers and set higher standards in the army and navy.
There are far more efficient and productive ways to do jobs programs.
Record sniper shot was with a Canadian rifle. Deal with it.

Did you know the marines have their own compliment of fighter jets? So do state level national guards.
I like fighter jets
