Usually the marines get to go in and get killed first:(

Not to bash the army, but the Marines are somewhat of an elite fighting force. They have more strenuous training and are much smaller and coehsive. They are the "best of the best" of American regular fighting forces, excluding the Special Forces (Force Recon, SEALs etc)

Also the marines are used in a lot of initial amphibious assaults, they secure the area and then the army rolls in.
But the army does have its own special forces as well, the army rangers, which supposedly have the same tough training as the marines. (an army guy told me this, so I don't know if I should take his word for it:p)
Happy birthday 233rd Marines turns into a Army vs Navy topic? :rolleyes:
What does the marines have to do with the navy?;)
They are almost interwoven that's why
Historically, the United States Navy has enjoyed a unique relationship with the United States Marine Corps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps) (USMC), partly because they both specialize in seaborne operations. At the very top level of civilian organization, the USMC is part of the Department of the Navy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_the_Navy) and reports to the Secretary of the Navy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_of_the_Navy). However, it is considered to be a distinct, separate service branch and not a subset of the Navy; the highest ranking Marine officer, the Commandant of the Marine Corps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandant_of_the_Marine_Corps), does not report to a Navy officer. Marine Corps Medal of Honor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor) recipients are awarded the Navy variant and Marines are eligible to receive the Navy Cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Cross). The United States Naval Academy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Academy) trains Marine Corps commissioned officers while Navy officers undergo instruction by Marine NCO Drill Instructors, in addition to their normal Recruit Division Commander. Naval Aviation includes Navy and Marine (as well as Coast Guard) Naval Aviators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Aviator), Naval Flight Officers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Flight_Officer), and Aircrew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircrew_Badge#Navy-Marine_Corps-Coast_Guard) are trained together.
Simply put:
Thank you all armed forces!
This is an useless post =D
Happy bday anyway
