Thanks warmonger, that was very informative, but not disrespectful. I learned alot from that.

And there's no victory without each piece of the military in today's world. That's exactly what I'm saying, but wars are not won solely by any one branch of the military.

Heh, and I do agree with you here. Considering that modern ground warfare is basically adapting to become exactly what Marines are trained for. That being small, light armored, mobile units.
So are you implying that we should start actually giving the Marines the financial/equipment backing that they deserve? They've been exceling with Army/Navy leftovers for the past 50 years. Imagine what they could do with more resources! Or the Army could just continue what they're doing and keep learning from the Marines style of combat/training/creative adaptation to any situation.
