No matter which one you pick. That service is the best for job it's assigned to to. I was in the Marines, Army and Navy. The only diffrence that I noticed between them was the amount of time you spent away from home. out of 16 years in the navy I was gone out of the states about about 12 of those years (two was spent in country in Vietnam I asked for those two years)
No matter which one yu pick it is the best for the job it has to do.

The Army and Marine Corp. are basically the same thing its just that works with water better than the other. Not saying that the US army can't do anything in the water. That plus the Marines are controlled by the Navy

Army all the way I hate marines because they are so gung ho and usally end up dead most of the time the army bails the marines out of trouble and marines get hand me downs from army like the army carrys the m4 mostly and the marines all carry m16s also army has the saw and the marines have the m60 plus the marines still have the old cobra so army is better also there are special forces in the army the marines have no special forces exept for recons which really dont count because there just lighter armed marines the scout plus marines have no airborne like army does

Oh, for crying out loud. They both do their bloody jobs and fight, kill, bleed and die under the same flag. Salute them both!

once again, socomseal demonstrates a complete lack of any kind of real-world experience or knowledge.

You're what? 14?

Stay in your lane, and don't talk about things you don't know anything about.

Marines are pretty bad-ass. Everyone knows that they usually accomplish more while they are given less. During the Gw-1 they had to make do with M-60s while the Army had brand new M1 abrams. In Iraq, the Marines were also assigned to some of the toughest sectors in the Triangle of death. Marines are "gung-ho", because they carry on the tradition of every marine is a rifleman first.

THe m4 is only good in closer distances. The problem is that over 100 meters, the shorter barrel makes the round lose muzzle velocity and is thus less lethal. The m-16a2's round has a much higher muzzle velocity over a longer distances. Still M4s are amazing weapons.

Marine physical fitness requirments are also mor e gruelling than the Army. Don't discount the Cobra- despite it's age it still has its fans. The Apache was designed to fight against a tank invasion in Europe and had sophisticated electronics but techs have found the Cobra to be more resistant to sand, reliable, rugged, and dependable. All of this for a much cheaper operational cost- Israelis who operate the Cobra and the Apache prefer the Cobra. The long bow apache's advanced radar is useless in counter-insurgency operations.

the marines are much better they are a powerful 4 division special force. They have great history and fight to the death.
Also a marine company can beat up an airborne company any day ( and they have)
