No, if the Marines ever got enough money and backing then they'd turn into the Army! lol
Like a child who grows up hungry to become successful, they will succeed in part because of that background.
Conversely, the children of the self made millionaires are always less likely to work.
They need to stay lean and hungry so that they are always challenged with thinking out of the box, overcoming and adapting in order to snatch victory.
Both styles of ground combat have their advantages and it is in how they are used that success is determined. The Army has its fast, highly deployable units like the 82nd airborne and rangers. Easily as tough as the Marine units I experienced.
The Marines also have their armor units that aren't all that light.
What does that tell you? It's essentially combined Arms doctrine for both Army/Navy though one uses ground/air forces with a Naval perspective in mind. The other uses air/water forces from a ground combat perspective.
Put a light, highly deployable infantry division on an open field of battle against a heavy armored division and there will be only one outcome unless miracles are present. On the other hand, tie that heavy division up in an urban environment where the light unit can gain cover and concealment and it will be the exact opposite.

You mean like the Army changing to be more like the Marine Corps? :-P

OK, I just got around to seeing this flick. I have to say I didn't get into it at all. The script doesn't "flow" at all... guys get hysterical out of the blue, scenes happen for no apparent reason, relationships between the characters are barely convincing, and in the end it just seems like a budget copy of parts of Full Metal Jacket, Apolcalypse Now, and Three Kings. I was hoping for some depth, and all I got was a bunch of stuff happening for no real reason.
