the army, is with out a doubt the best fighting force in the world. they have the latest technology, and the best training. if you look in history, the army, in ww2 was fighting in europe, and the pacific, while the marines were stranded in the pacific. also, the marines say that they are the first in, but the army is usually there before it is even a war ie. the green barets, and delta force.

The army might have a bigger budget (and tech from that) and more special forces, but the marines are a much better trained fighting force.

Marines actually teach every soldier to aim (well).

Every marine soldier pretty much equals an army ranger.

THE ARMY!!! We have the wits, the training, the manpower, the equipment, but most importantly, the Green Berets.

If you fielded all the Marines and an equal amount Army Combat MOS soldiers, the Marines would loose, obviously not without a good fight though.

Not a chance. Army Rangers go through standard basic training, infantry training, airborne school, and air assault school. Marines only go through standard basic training and infantry training.

I had an uncle in both, and the one that went to the army admits the Marines were better trained.

Again I stated well. Marines are trained to all be marksman (I said marksman not sniper).

Army = Adequate, Marine = Marksman. In terms of shooting skill.

I'm not in the military and nor am I a military buff but I've always been under the impression that save for special forces groups the marines are by and large considered to be the toughest sect of the military. I think a Green Beret is better than a standard Marine but I've also been told a standard Marine is better trained than a standard trooper in the Army. Also I do believe the Marines are considered to be better shots than people in the Army as the Marines pride themselves on turning all their members into marksmen of the highest class.

The Army train their recruits to shoot out to 300yrds. The Marines...500yrds. And like someone else said, the Army is for those who can't handle the Marines.

This depends on which side gets the support of the rest of the U.S. military. Whichever side has the Air Force and the Navy with it wins easily, because they can torch the other guy's supply lines, gather intelligence more easily and outmanuever their opponents by such a large degree that it becomes basically a question of "tank vs immobilized tank".

Ignoring those aspects of warfare and logistics and assuming that you're confining it to a matchup of armor, infantry and artillery... the Army'd win. Their men may have inferior equipment and training, but the Marines as a branch isn't meant to fight in long-term heavy field battles; they need their transports to actually do what they're good at doing (blitzing targets at a rapid pace and zipping all about the map after clearing out each objective) and they won't have those transports without the Navy or the Airforce. The Army's more optimized for slug-out matches, and it's also about 2-4 times larger.

How do you even match them up against one another? They share resources with eachother. You need to be more specific, TC. Like, fist-fight specific.

Oh I see an uncle with experience in one branch is an authority on the branch he wasn't in. Makes perfect sense. Anyway, the army puts firing the weapon as a priority. Shooting skill is up to the individual. Marksmans is the lowests qualification rank in the army. Lowest. And EVERYONE must qualify and do so regularly.

The differences are not really that much. Marines might be a little better than average but the army is also WAY bigger with far more man power. The Marines are basically part of the Navy (thus why marine is in the name) while the Army is in the classic use of the word an army lol.

The Marine Corps is definitely tougher, but all the Marines care about is how fast you can run and how many pull-ups you can do. meh. I think the Army makes a more rounded and more efficient warrior.

The marines usually have the toughest assignments. I think on a general level the marines may have better training, but the army has so many specialized units that they may have the better soldiers.

That is all.

Most people in the marines or army will never kill a single person. They're tasked with defending and serving their country. I give them all the respect in the world, because these are people with families, lives, and reasons to live, yet they are willing to risk all of that.

these comparisons are pointless... they're designed to serve different purposes. there are jobs the army does that the marines could never do ( not equipped to do, doesn't have the manpower, etc. ) and jobs the marines excel at that the army doesn't do..

It's no doubt that the army would lose BAD marines on the contrary go through all kinds of tests ans training.

They are masters of suprise courtesy of the water insertion training. Also they are more well equipped the few awesome infantry guns that we get go to

the marines. Another thing is the go through drowning school, fitness training,and HELL WEEK. Although the marines have less men, They have superior training and GUNS. Army would be tough but saying if this is only infantry versus infantry, US marines hands down.

This threads are so stupid.

"uhhh, I've never been in the military, but I heard the marines are better"

"uhhh, the Marines have cooler uniforms, they must be better"

"uhhh, the Marines always go in first, dont they?"

They are both awesome, and they have different and similar capabilities. Marines are simply Navy Infantry with cooler uniforms and even cooler commercials.

I doubt the US Marines would win. US Army has horseloads of vehicles, they have newer equipment, and TBH i doubt that marines "better" physical training would matter when they are being overrun left and right by tanks and APCs, airborne dropping on their heads and Apaches tearing them apart.
Sure they are hard, but they aint THAT hard.

They train you to be murderers.

Its a necessary evil, and no, theyre not murderers. They fight against other enemy combatants; that might make them killers, but not murderers. There is a subtle difference.

And, as has been stated, only a small percentage truly do any killing.

As for "killing for money", no one becomes a soldier for the money lol. They are some of the most underpaid government workers, at least in this country (they get good benefits though, and rightfully so). Ive got a few friends in the militiary, I think when one of them broke it down he said most non-officiers get paid the equivelent of like 2.50 an hour.

They deserve our respect because they make the necessary sacrifices most of us are not willing to make.
