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".

We are better trained, just look at Fallujah for the most recent example.

Holy shit. Trump actually hired someone who isn't a complete retard.

"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"

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

We just had an internal review that had to admit that while we are trying hard, we are just not quite as good at committing war crimes as the Yanks and the Brits.

It's a national scandal. People are demanding that we improve our war crime game.

Canadian snipers are trained on outdated equipment. In 2002 they started getting American weapons, but especially ammo.

Almost immediately their handicap removal was evident when they beat a record that had stood since Vietnam.

Maybe the most Canadian description ever at that time:

"Firing it feels like someone slashing you on the back of your hockey helmet with a hockey stick."

Unless you find me a great hockey reference with a new record I cant be arsed to look it up.
