Comments by "ElevenB" (@elevenb6967) on "Top 3 Differences Army Vs. Marines" video.

  1. 1. That's adorable. You guys are your own biggest fans. I find it awesome, that you guys, with so little (which is pure, unadulterated bull$hit), can kick the whole world's ass all by yourselves. Outstanding. 2. "Legally limited to the size of a corps"? By whose authority? I never saw that law. Is it in the Constitution? 3. Embassies, and Consulates....So, basically, you're a security detachment. In TOTAL, there are roughly 1800 of you standing a post. Do you expect us to believe that, if a country's military decides to run buckshot over an embassy, a few of you hard charging security guards, because of your omnipotence, can quell them? Man, you guys MUST be badasses! Absolutely hilarious!!! 4. Awww...That's cute. I LOVE your "legal" jargon. LEGALLY defined as a force-in-readiness? The legislative branch of the United States government mandated this?? This is news to me. I'll have to look that up. (Although, I know it's a waste of my time, but..........Okay, I'm back. And, as I expected, you're full of $hit!) I suggest you have your Commandant update the obligatory schpeel your DI's force-feed you in boot. The very last time Congress declared war, was some 80 odd years ago, in WWII. And THAT means, Korea, Nam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan, required NO congressional declaration. The first boots on the ground to FIGHT, back in OIR, was the ARMY'S 3ID. Also, the Marines weren't the ONLY force in Grenada, champ. (Ask me how I know this. I know you'll love the answer!) 5. This is the exact equivalent of Army bases on foreign soil. It's called tactical readiness, in the event the $hit hits the fan. You're part of the NAVY. So, of COURSE it makes sense for some of you to be on ships. Duh. But, don't mistake that to be some badassery, that only THEY can be called upon to exercise. You CLEARLY have NO IDEA about the Army, and are just trumpeting more MC propaganda crap. 6. Holy $hit, this was dumb! CROSS TRAINING?? LMFAO!!! What special training does it require, to ride on a boat, and disembark said boat, when you get to the beachhead? You realize what you are, when you land on the beachhead, right??? You're INFANTRY. How you get there, is completely irrelevant. Oh, and I LOVED THIS: "In general, the regular USMC forces are more adaptable than regular Army forces, as the later tend to specialize more in a certain aspect of combat, while the USMC is more Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none." I see. So, is what you're telling me is, that quartermasters, network admins, spoons, and JAG personnel, can fly jets, like officers, and warrant officers? I had no IDEA you guys were so complete. My friend was an 0311. I'll have to ask him how he liked flying fighter jets. LOL!! Who knew that rappelling off of birds, and running off of boats made you more formidable. I have tears in my eyes, I'm laughing so hard!! Best laugh I've had all year!

  2.  @michaelmatthias9495  Exactly, man! Unless the Marines have found a way to breech warp drive, the Army RDF's can be anywhere on the planet within hours. Devildog, I understand that you have to go to bat for the MC, but, let's be real...A lot of what you guys spew is straight up bullshit! More with less?? What does that even mean? lol!

  3.  @whodat9198  Dude, you're getting sillier with each subsequent post. I love how you guys put all of your eggs in basic rifle qual, and brag about how you shoot 200 yards farther. That's cute. What you ALWAYS seem to fail to mention, is that you can still qualify expert, even if you come nowhere NEAR hitting that 500 yard target. (And this is info I got from a friend of mine, who was an 0311. So, before even attempt to refute me, save your keystrokes!) In today's wars, who engages tangos at that distance regularly?? Also, you do NOT run twice as far on your PFT. You run 3 miles, we run 2. I'm no math genius by ANY stretch. But, even BASIC math tells me that that's not twice as far! Man, get real!! And please stop with the Jessica Lynch shit. She was NOT 11x! Good lord!
    5
  4.  @whodat9198  The only thing I figured out, is that you're not too bright. Every Marine is a rifleman? That's cute. Every SOLDIER is a rifleman, too! But, not every Soldier (OR Marine) is an INFANTRYman!!! BIG difference!!! Oh boy! -_-

  5. ^^^^^ This! ALL OF THIS!!!!!

  6. The 1st ID, 3rd ID, 4th ID, 82nd ABD, 25th ID, 101st ABD, 10th MTN, 507th PIR, 25th ID, 2nd ID, 1st CAV and the 75th RR all vehemently disagree with you. But, hey.....Whatever helps you sleep at night. 😃
    4
  7.  @whodat9198  The Army has NEVER run 1.5 miles on the PFT. You're starting to make it clear that you know SHIT about the Army! And the only thing Marines are superior at, is propaganda, and straight up bullshit! Big time lies! You're not supermen! Not even close! Infantry is Infantry! There is ZERO difference And I DEFY you to prove otherwise!

  8. "we were living in the dilapidated barracks" Hahaha! Harmony Church barracks, Fort Benning has entered the chat

  9.  @whodat9198  I swear to god, man! When they say that Marines are stupid, they're not just blowing smoke!! I'll try again. Please try and focus....A rifleman is one who has learned BASIC RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP!! 11 Bravo (11x/c) are INFANTRY!! Pogs are NOT INFANTRY!!!! Do you understand now? Or, do I have to dumb it down to remedial levels! Jesus!!! -__-

  10.  @whodat9198  Tee hee hee....Those are cute quotes! I ESPECIALLY loved the one where the General said "If the Marines can do it, why can't the Army"! The only problem is, whenever I see that quote, I ONLY see it in Marine rags! I've NEVER seen it anywhere else! I searched the entire internet, trying to find that quote actually FROM General Pershing! NOPE!! Try again! (LMAO)

  11.  @m.d.d.3051  Taking 'myself' so seriously? You clearly didn't think your response through. Hilarious! :-D
    3
  12. You need to stop this craziness, man. You guys are hilarious. You really think being more aggressive will be all that it takes to win? I mean, a Chihuahua is 'more aggressive' than a Rottweiler. But, which one would YOU rather have attack you? Also, I've got a newsflash for you. Different branches are.....well.....different. Not exactly an epiphany, is it? But, don't get it twisted, bro. Infantry to infantry, the differences between the army and the marines are negligible. But, okay....Why don't you tell me, in terms of the branches' respective infantries, what makes the marine corps better? Be specific. And don't talk about aggressiveness, because that's definitely NOT endemic to the branch. I'll wait.....
    3
  13. Are you even serious right now?  Please go to The History Channel, and even right here on YT, search up some footage of the United States Army during WW2, Korea, and 'Nam. Once you've finished, come back and tell us more about how the army's main focus is to 'hold ground'. I say again, whether it's army infantry, or marine infantry, the differences are negligible. Forget the uniforms, forget the drill, forget all that other silly crap that means absolutely NOTHING during times of war. Infantry to infantry, there's practically zero difference. Now, you can try and change my mind. But you'll have a better chance of taking down a fully grown bull elephant with a spitball.

  14.  @wastelanderstark8555  This wasn't specifically aimed at you. Too many Marines follow this absolutely asinine (and COMPLETELY untrue) assessment of the Army's mission statement, with zero facts to back it up. I believe it is what their DI's spoon-fed them in boot, and they swallowed every crumb. To answer your questions, I was a U.S. Army Airborne infantryman, who did my OSUT at Benning, served in Europe, and Asia, then back to Benning.
    3
  15. That's ridiculous. -_- There IS no comparison. Army infantry, and Marine infantry are practically identical.

  16. THIS!!!!!!!

  17.  @billyjacc  Well put, man. VERY well put.

  18.  @whodat9198  Uhm, did you bother to see the date of that link you posted??? (Hahahahahahahaha!) Bro, if you're gonna seriously grab supposed quotes from three people, out of the MILLIONS that served (provided they're accurate, and not embellished like all marines love to do), then I can't take anything you say seriously. You're literally talking about damn near ancient history. What I know is this....You're NOT superior, full stop! There are shitbird Marines (Try and tell me that there are not), and shitbird Soldiers. You will have studs in ALL branches. The US Army is the ass-kicking-est MF's on terra firma. We have kicked ass all throughout history. (Look it up) And no amount of shit talking, and vilification from you, or your lying ass brethren will change that. You are a small branch. You are the Department of the Navy. You try and make everyone who'll listen believe that just because you get yelled at in boot, you're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, I hate to bust your bubble, bruh...But you couldn't BE more wrong! So, you just keep puffing, and beating your chest, and making your rounds across cyberspace, telling everyone how badass you are! Meanwhile, the REAL badasses, who shut their mouths, and do their jobs get the props. Ask yourself why you never see Rangers, SEALs, AFPR, and CC's, Deltas, or SF's running around on YT shitting on their brothers in arms! On second thought, don't....As a Marine, you'll simply lie to yourself anyway. But, I'll tell you. REAL bad asses don't have to brag. If you have to brag, you ain't shit! (Badass 101) Also, getting a badge doesn't make you a grenadier. But, you are BASICALLY TRAINED. (Sound familiar?) Just like graduating from boot makes you a BASICALLY TRAINED MARINE! The REAL training begins when you get to your PDS. You crayon gobblers seem to forget that. LOL! I went through in the 80s. And, contrary to what the text in that link reads, DS's said that you are (here it comes again) a BASICALLY TRAINED SOLDIER upon graduation! This is why they call it Basic "COMBAT" training!! And we ALL GO through it, whether you're a pog, or a hard charging grunt! That's been around FAR longer than that link you posted. But, whatever man YouTube is REPLETE with Soldiers kicking ass in combat! You bring up 3, or 4 instances of a couple of people not packing it, and you think that the whole branch is ass! Well, the fact that this country exists in its current iteration in terms of power, flies in the face of what YOU think of the Army! But, if you REALLY want to continue this assery, let's go! I'm not talking about round bowns...Break down for me, the EXACT DIFFERENCES in TACSOP's, for the respective branches, and tell me how yours is superior! You're not dealing with a stupid man here, Gomer. So be careful! I'm not convinced! ;-)

  19.  @TheRIGOCOLA  Bro, you're wasting your time with this fool. He, and his ilk are all the same. They've been lied to. He talks about the Army being out of shape. Like we really need cooks, quartermasters, and network admins to be fitness studs. Please! -_- Whenever those clowns talk shit about the Army, they always refer to pogs. Never Infantry. Because they know what's up. They completely ignore the hardcore hard chargers, and concentrate fully on the aforementioned mos's. Finding a Marine who's respectful, and honorable (which they always talk of how prideful they are of it), is about as difficult as finding an amoeba in a hundred acres of tall grass! They're out there, but there aren't very many of them. THOSE are the Marines I respect. But guys like him?? Forget about it. I say, just let them wallow in a giant vat of misinformation, lies, and wanton stupidity.
    2
  20. You, as well, brotha! Hooah!
    2
  21. Well, that person was probably a pog (in BOTH branches), and obviously had no idea what he was talking about. Also, you may want to check your sentence structure. It's friggin' horrible. I had to read it twice to try and make any sense of it. -_-
    2
  22. Hahahahahaha!!! Once again, you're only telling HALF the story. You guys are notorious for that. Sure, you have to shoot "AT" that 500 yard target. BUT (and this is a BIG but), you do NOT HAVE TO HIT IT. AND, you can STILL qualify EXPERT, without coming anywhere NEAR that 500 yard target. So why tf is it even there? Why even bother? Also, I'm going to copy/paste an excerpt from a rag called the Marine Times: (Note....The USMC is adopting a NEW qual SOP. Guess which branch has already had this SOP for YEARS.) "We've shifted the target down a human target. You do need to strike in what have been identified as lethality zones. Anything outside these zones, could suggest it's not a physiological stop, said CW5 John Costa, director of the marksmanship program management at the training battalion. That's because an operational analysis conducted in 2018 showed lethality gaps in which Marines were having problems hitting moving targets, and hitting human targets in ways that would incapacitate the person." So, while YOU guys are shooting at cute little popup targets, the ARMY is shooting at MOVING targets, in full battle rattle. One thing I found funny while reading that USMC rag, was that, they seem to love doing irrelevant comparisons to the ARMY. It was quite comical. Why you guys don't just shut up, and do your jobs, and stop putting down your brothers in arms, I'll never know. The fact that your females 'shoot at' a 500 yard target is precious. I guess they're now considered infantry, as a result, huh? Man, that little brother syndrome must be a motherf**ker.
    2
  23. That literally makes no sense.
    2
  24.  @valiant7999  "Marines fight the most harsh battles, and leave whatever is left for the Army." This doesn't even make sense. It's seriously as if kids are posting in the comments section, so you shouldn't be too shocked that he would say this. He's either a marine pog, has never been to combat, or has never served a day in his life.
    2
  25.  @LetsTravelOurWorld  That's absolutely adorable. It didn't even remotely close to answer the question (Which, I must say, is not the least bit shocking.), but cute just the same. LMAO!
    2
  26.  @LetsTravelOurWorld  This, ladies and gentlemen, is the textbook response when you make an asinine statement, and have no answer when you're challenged. Well, before you embark on that vacation, let me give you something to mull over. There are about 170,000 marines of which 70% are pogs. (Like I bet YOU were.) The army is FAR larger, with FAR more hardcore units, a MASSIVE budget, and MASSIVE firepower. It is arguably the most powerful army on terra firma. It, quite handily, could pummel any army's boots on the planet ALONE. Read that again, Gomer. If the marines had to go to war with the likes of Russia, China, or even NK WITHOUT the army, they'd get their clocks cleaned before you could say 'pimple pie'. Now, you can talk all the poop you want, but ya see, you NEED the army to win a war. But the army certainly doesn't need YOU. So, I'd show some respect to your brothers in arms, Gomer. The marines ain't fighting the army in any reality in your wildest dreams. You dolts don't seem to fathom that both branches play for the same team. It's quite comical, actually. Have a nice vacation. 😉
    2
  27. "They are the only branch that can be sent anywhere in the world to fight without congressional approval." Who told you that?
    2
  28.  @kizunadragon9   1800's?? LOL! That's precious. Pretty sure you're the one who needs educating. But, no worries, man. I'll be more than happy to school you like your 8th grade science teacher. You have no idea what you're talking about. This much is certain.
    2
  29. LMAO! That's hilarious. Completely inaccurate, but hilarious nonetheless.
    2
  30.  @xPoN3dx  "go look at Marine boot camp schedule and ranger school schedule. Outside the final hike they are identical" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Man, that was one doozy of a dream you just had. Better head down to breakfast, before it gets cold. Just wow! 🤣🤣
    2
  31. Worst analogy in the HISTORY of analogies. -_-
    2
  32.  @glizzygoblin-nl2uh  Well, if, by looking at my username, you're unable to ascertain whether I'm Army, or Marine Corps Infantry, tells me that you've never served. And that's okay. I'm just saying...If you don't know, you probably shouldn't comment. And I mean that with all due respect. 11 Bravo is an Army occupational specialty, which is unmistakably Infantry. Whenever I hear (read) people say that the Marines take villages, while the Army occupies, that's a red flag to end all red flags, and couldn't BE more inaccurate. Plus, if you knew WHY the Marines were established, then you would know that they were/are the Navy's ground-fighting force. They're also not technically a 'separate branch', as they fall under the Department of the NAVY! You're going to have to do a lot better than that, if you're going to try and convince me that Army Infantry, and USMC Infantry are vastly different. Admittedly, their MISSIONS are different. But, when it comes to INFANTRY, in terms of their respective actual TACSOPs, I maintain, the differences are almost too negligible to even mention. Apples to apples, bro. Only the varieties differ.
    2
  33.  @redaug4212  And plus, I think he, like MOST marines, love to embellish stories. I didn't buy a single word of his bull$hit.
    2
  34. You've obviously never served. That was the most ridiculous post I've read in quite some time.
    2
  35.  @1BeGe  Initially, I thought you were talking shit about the Army. I've been saying the same shit for YEARS! The difference between the two branches, where INFANTRY is concerned, is literally like comparing Red Delicious apples to Gala. Apologies.
    2
  36.  @Eric-lq6yk  Incorrect. The marines do not 'fight' on water. (Again, that's the navy's job.) They fight on LAND. And since they are the navy's infantry (pogs notwithstanding), most of the time they get 'transportation' to the battlefield VIA the navy. How you get there is irrelevant. You guys throw the word expeditionary around like its definition is exclusive to the marine corps. It's not. Plus, your definition is wrong. It literally means to deploy forces to foreign territory on short notice. Every branch of the US military can (and does) have expeditionary units/forces.
    2
  37.  @redaug4212  Exactly!! These kids. SMH.
    2
  38. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  Either you didn't read the post, or you don't know the difference between "bread" (which is what YOU wrote), and "bred". You guys absolutely KILL me with that culture crap. Let me clue you in, sir. Your history, and ethos don't mean dooley squat in real war. It only matters when you're in garrison, or when you're telling everyone who'll listen, that you're a marine. You're not special. You just THINK you are. Your 'distinct role' is that you're naval infantry. (pogs notwithstanding) But, let's be honest. Although you do fight well, you're redundant. Amphibious landings are about as passé as muskets, and dueling pistols. You exist only because the navy can't 'infantry'. (Except SEALs) Your infantry, and army infantry are practically identical. Accept it, because it is the truth. That 911 thing? You need to stop it. Everyone who's ever served in combat arms knows that that is solely dependent on the mission, and NOT the branch. Because the 75th, 101st, 3ID, 10th MTN, and the 82nd all vehemently disagree with you. As for all marines being basically trained in infantry tactics, you literally described the army, dude. Because every single potential soldier WILL have to be basically trained in infantry tactics. And that's irrespective of MOS. The "C" in BCT literally stands for COMBAT. The difference is, OUR pogs KNOW that they're pogs. They don't try to fancy themselves as hard charging grunts like marine pogs do. Just ask the average 0311 if he thinks that quartermaster, spoons, or network admins are the same. That oughtta get a good laugh.
    2
  39. That's cute. But, I'm pretty sure that's more individual than branch specific. When the enemy is demolished, nobody is gonna ask whether they were demolished for business reasons, or religious reasons. As long as the ends are met, the means are irrelevant. -__-
    2
  40. LOL!!! Educate yourself BEFORE you post. You have no idea what you're talking about.
    2
  41.  @jesusloves3333  My "point" is, that the United States has two infantries. And they're both practically identical. I served in the army infantry, and I don't remember holding a damn thing. I'M not saying that the marines don't deserve props. Never did. But saying that the army's mission is to hold ground is simply untrue. You don't have all that firepower just to play guard duty. And hell week? That's cute. But what does that have to do with war fighting capability? I've said it before, and it bears repeating.....You guys act as though kids learning basic poop is the absolute zenith of your entire military career. It's quite comical. I don't care what you do in boot, man. It's what you do in battle that matters.
    2
  42.  @Unreal890  I wish I knew, man.
    2
  43. You're a clueless clod. But, I'll bite. Break this down for us, champ. Smarter how, stronger how, and better trained in what, specifically? Eagerly awaiting what will surely be hilarity at its absolute zenith......
    2
  44. Best post in here, by FAR!!! And dead on ball accurate!!
    2
  45. Untrue.
    2
  46.  @daltonfitkin2536  My source is the fact that I served in the US Army infantry for years. And we never did anything even remotely resembling "long term occupation". You don't possess all that massive firepower to just sit there and play sentry. The fact that so many people (mostly marines) think that we're an occupational force, is absolutely hilarious. The more you know......
    2
  47. I bet you're BOTH pogs. Your friend has no idea what he's talking about.
    2
  48.  @mattburgess9439  I hear ya. But, I was responding to what that Agm Smith dude said. He literally said that you guys ARE part of the Navy. (And that's not a BAD thing, so don't get offended.) I really don't care either way. I'm just sick of all this sophomoric dick measuring, and inter-branch fighting. Seriously one of the most ridiculous things I've ever witnessed. Brothers in arms!
    2
  49. TOO many! If you value your sanity, turn back now.
    2
  50. Uhm, why does the Army need to understand this?
    2
  51. Worst analogy ever. -_-
    1
  52. "the Marines can be sent in by presidential decree for smaller missions without congressional authorization." I can't even BEGIN to tell you how woefully inaccurate this is! LMAO!
    1
  53.  @echo6echo419  If that's what you think, then you're even more clueless than I originally thought. Once again, I have to school you Gomers on what the TRUTH is. The very last time Congress declared war, was some 80 odd years ago, in WWII. And THAT means, that Korea, Nam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan, were all fought WITHOUT a war declaration by Congress. So, you see, it's not that I "WANTED" to call it wrong. It IS wrong. I'm absolutely STUNNED at the amount crap that you guys are fed, and (obviously) swallow. "Force in readiness"? Seriously, WTF does that even mean? -_-
    1
  54. Meh. There really ain't much difference between the two. Especially when it comes to the infantry.
    1
  55. It literally puzzles me that so many of them think this way. It's really quite comical.
    1
  56.  @stevenkhan4344  So you're actually saying, with a straight face, that the US Marine Corps infantry, and the US Army Rangers, have the exact same TACSOP??? Were you drunk when you typed this? LMAO!
    1
  57. Except that 500 meter target has far less bullet holes in it than the other targets. Marines qual at that range, but they don't have to hit it. Also, they can still score expert without ever touching it.
    1
  58. Well, if all you have is a nutshell, then what you say can't be taken seriously.
    1
  59. Yeah? Explain. What "more" do they do, that the Army doesn't?
    1
  60. You're confused. But, hell, I'll bite. What can the Marines do better than Soldiers? Specifically, where fighting is concerned.
    1
  61. "Strongest fighting force"? You have no idea what you're talking about. Army infantry, and USMC infantry are practically identical in every way, where the TACSOP is concerned, and I challenge you to prove differently.
    1
  62.  @eyoutube1  Not offended. The Marines were recently issued the new M27 AR, which replaced the M4. I think that the Marines being 'underfunded' is an old wives' tale.
    1
  63. " A more hard hitting, harder trained, "fist" if you will." Well, I WON'T! This is a (Marine bred) misconception that has obviously made its way to Oz. You lost me on that one, man. Marine infantry, and Army infantry are almost identical. The differences are negligible.
    1
  64. This post's distance from accuracy, literally has to be measured in parsecs. Just wow, man. -_-
    1
  65. I'm guessing you've never served. No....Wait.....I'm not guessing. It's obvious. -_-
    1
  66. One of two things I could get from your post: 1. You never served 2. If you DID serve, you were a pog  Either way, you have no idea what you're talking about.

  67.  @jonnbobo  Okay, Mr. Bonobo (not a typo), tell me exactly what I'm clueless about. I'd love to school you. 😀

  68.  @jonnbobo  Clueless clown.

  69.  @LetsTravelOurWorld  LOL!! You're not very bright, are ya?
    1
  70.  @LetsTravelOurWorld  Then, "BIG" guy.....Perhaps you can elaborate on your assessment. And please be specific. But, I think I should tell you, this ain't my first rodeo. So, whatever you come with, please know what you're talking about. Because I will school you like your 8th grade science teacher. Ready when you are, sir.
    1
  71.  @LetsTravelOurWorld  Still waiting, big man......
    1
  72. What makes you think that? And be specific. I'll wait.....
    1
  73. Wow. What an absolutely asinine thing to say. You may want to delete this post before more people see it, man. Holy faahk! -__-
    1
  74.  @whodat9198  Yes, because Jessica Lynch is the poster child for BRM. -_-
    1
  75.  @TheRIGOCOLA  Yup....And no matter how clear, concise, and TRUTHFUL you are, they won't go for it anyway. Their brains have been washed thoroughly...with bleach! Absolutely NO respect for their brothers in arms! It 's like we're the enemy. They're too stupid to realize that we're all on the same gatdamn team! Oh well. At least now, he's better educated. lol!
    1
  76.  @achaean7615  Never heard of an "Advanced Weapons Program". Also, no Google search yields any such animal. Please provide a link.
    1
  77.  @achaean7615  You're calling this an "advanced weapons program"?? I think it's misleading to say that. That weapon is a next gen rifle that is replacing the one currently in operation. What's your point? Also, what about the M27? The Marines' new rifle. Is that what you'd call an advanced weapons program, as well? Note: The Marines, from what I read merely seconds ago, are looking to adopt the XM5 for THEIR rifle squads. That weapon is barely 10 years old. -_-
    1
  78.  @achaean7615  Solid copy, sir.
    1
  79. Explain this, in detail. Let's have some specifics.
    1
  80. Not even remotely close to accurate. Educate yourself.
    1
  81. Dead on balls accurate!
    1
  82. I'm calling PILES of bull$hit, sir. I served in the Army for almost 10 years. I've taken a PLETHORA of PT tests in that time. And I can assure you, with 100% certainty, that I've never, and I mean not even a single solitary time, EVER heard a soldier even HINT at finding out the minimum requirement. What unit were you in, and what was your mos? I'm gonna venture out onto that limb, and guess that you were a pog in BOTH branches. Plus, ALL soldiers would have already been privy to that information well beforehand. The funniest thing about your asinine post, was the fact that you said that it was the 'best look' at the differences. LMAO! What an absolute joke. 😀

  84.  @Pazuzu4219  Wait....Who are you? Oh, wait. Maria?? Hahaha! Looks like "YOU'RE" (not 'your', genius) a woman. And therefore, more than likely, a pog. This makes anything you say regarding Army grunts, completely moot. You're here talking about drills, and basic/boot. That's flippin hilarious!! Gomers like you literally put all of your eggs in the 'boot' basket. It's like the entirety of the rest of your military careers pale in comparison, because boot is literally all you guys ever talk about. Learning basic $hit. Adorable! Nobody cares, sweetheart. All that boot crap is cute, but real war is light years away from boot. This country, since its inception, has kicked more ass in wars, than every other nation in that time frame. And, who do you think was responsible for the lion's share of said ass-kicking? Now, before you get your panties all scrunched up, understand that I have ZERO problems with respectable Marines. Marines who are smart enough to understand that, this country wouldn't even exist, were it not for the Army. Marines who KNOW that we're on the same freakin team. But, addlepated dingbats like yourself, the nastiest of insignificant pogs, who obviously suffer from delusions of superiority, are the ones I have a problem with. And I will, at every stop, school you like your 8th grade science teacher. Now, since you're so smart, please explain to all of us reading, how EXACTLY, Army infantry gets less training than Marine infantry. And I want specifics. Please tell us how your training, where the INFANTRY is concerned, is superior to Army infantry. I'll wait.....

  90. ​ @robertoshea9825  That's one of the (huge) misconceptions that the marine corps has about the army. They seem to think the army is all slow, lumbering tanks. They don't understand that tankers are decidedly NOT infantry. Combat arms? Yes. Completely different mos? Absolutely. Introducing: 82nd Airborne Division 10th Mountain Division 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division 3rd Infantry Division 173rd Airborne Brigade XVIII Airborne Corps 10th SFG 75th Ranger Regiment 1st Cavalry Division ^^^^^ All RFD units. Contrary to popular belief among marines, not in the know, the army has "light infantry" units. I'm not faulting you, specifically. The saying holds true.....You don't know what you don't know. But now you know.
    1
  91. ​ @robertoshea9825  Discipline is mandatory in all branches. It's not up to the marines to set the standard by which the other branches implement theirs. They have to understand that different branches do things differently. They somehow consider it undisciplined to call a Sergeant First Class "Sarge". Yet, they are cool with calling a Gunnery Sergeant "Gunny". This, I could understand, if they were in basic, where that is (obviously) not tolerated. You have to be at your PDS, fully fledged, before you can even think about that. As for being weaker. In what regard? The bench press? LOL. A lot of marines think that being fit somehow makes them better shooters. They always compare themselves to army pogs. Pogs, BTW, who almost never see anything even remotely resembling combat. Very rarely do they comment on the infantry. And that's because they know that both army, and marine infantry are almost completely identical. (Some have even said redundant) The U.S. Army is arguably the most powerful army on the planet. Without us, the marines would be finished, and they know it. With all of the hardcore soldiers in the army, you have to ask yourself why you never hear them talking mess. That's because they're the SILENT professionals. The difference is, soldiers do their jobs very well....Only with their mouths shut. A lot of marines.....Not so much. A lot of them love to d:k measure. Soldiers don't do that. When you know your d:k is big, you don't need to measure. And lastly, that cute little "do more with less" thing they love to trumpet never gets an answer when asked to elaborate; Do more what, and with less what?

  92.  @AzizDoufikar2280  Totally depends on a number of factors. Not the least of which is, where the conflict takes place, and/or who's closer. The very first boots on the ground to actually fight in OEF, was the army's 3rd Infantry Division. Also, the marines, as a branch, are microscopic compared to the army. Ask any marine to explain the differences between the two infantries, where their training is concerned. I promise, you'll not get a definitive answer.
    1
  93. ​ @kennethralcock  That's cute. Except you're missing pretty significant portions of the story. (Which is something you marines are notorious for doing.) Lebanon: 14,000 boots, 5600 marines. - Lie Nicaragua: 700 marines - Miniscule conflict OEC: 118 Delta, Special Forces, and Rangers would decidedly NOT constitute a "large army force" - Exaggeration (Please watch a documentary on what went wrong, then come back and tell us how the marines would have fared any better in that situation) Monterey: 50 marines, 100 sailors - That was not a war, it was a street fight. I was able to research every instance you pasted. Looks like you copied them from a marine-biased rag. Not ONLY were almost every one of them ancient history (We're talking 1, to 2 CENTURIES ago), they were so miniscule. Most of them would literally be like calling your 6 foot7 inch big brother to fight your middle school bully. You really want props for that, man? You really want to try and vilify your own brothers in arms for some glory-by-association, that you will never experience? AND, you want props for 10-12 marines, per embassy, standing a post representing some bada$$ery of which only marines are capable? Try handling Russia, or China, or even NK WITHOUT the army, and see how well that works out for ya. Unreal! -_-

  102. One of my units was mechanized Infantry. My PltSgt, Company 1SG, BatSGM, and even BdeSGM, were all ex drills, and tabbed. 5 mile runs every PT, almost CONSTANT FTX's! We were hard charging animals! I never envied the Marines. EVER! We trained with them during Reforger. Literally zero difference in our respective TACSOPs, and methodology. The Marines are literally a fraction of the size of the Army. So, even their pogs think they're 0311s. (lol) So, it's a lot easier for them to adhere to the 'culture'. Cooks, and Network Admins are FAR less likely to be 'gung ho, kill everything'. Because....Well....They're pogs. They're not expected to be that way. But, combat MOS's??? Completely different animal.

  126. You literally couldn't be more wrong. The terms that Marines commandeer, and subsequently flip, to make them seem "different", is hilarious. If you familiarize yourself with the actual definition of an "expeditionary force", you would know that all four major branches are just that. If you leave your own land to go fight in another, you ARE an expeditionary force. -_- The whole winning battles, vs. winning wars thing, is incredibly silly. Especially when you come to realize that the U.S. Army fights, and wins battles too. History is replete with examples. Conversely, the U.S. Marines help fight in wars.

  127.  @scottkain8977  Four years? E-4??? That's cute. But, hardly accurate. 😀 "but at my level of service we must categorize everything into mission designations so we don't step on each other's toes." I'm seriously trying to make any sense of this. If you delete the term "expeditionary force" from your Marine Corps lexicon, do the Marines suddenly go away? Mmmm....I'm gonna guess no. But, the Marines using it to describe what they do, exclusive of the other branches, again, TO ME, is silly. And, let's say, for S's-n-G's, that the term IS erased.....Please explain how, exactly, toes would get stepped on.

  128.  @scottkain8977  I never said that it wasn't a beautiful institution of killers. (TBT, I like that description FAR more than the whole expeditionary force crap) My only beef with (mostly pot ass) Marines, is the fact that the overwhelming majority of them suffer from delusions of superiority. What they fail to grasp, is that fighting with each other is completely asinine. We are brothers in arms, full stop. I'd rather fight the enemies of our country, than a Marine. Even those nasty pigs, who think they're more highly trained than an Army grunt, just because they got yelled at in boot. (And trust me, they're out there, in HUGE numbers. You only need to peruse this very comments section that you're in right now, if you don't believe me.) Not even remotely accurate...But comical, nonetheless. ;-)

LMFAO! Hate to break it to you, buddy boy, but there hasn't been an official declaration of war, by the United States, since 1941. And THAT means, Korea, Nam, Grenada, Iraq, and Afghanistan, were all wars with NO congressional declaration. In those aforementioned wars, I'm fairly certain that all four branches participated. I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Educate yourself BEFORE you post, son. That way, you won't look like Bozo. -_-

Well, here's what Google told me: Marines: Japan – 18,000 Europe – 1500 ME – 3,000 Africa - 300 South America – 300 Oz – 2,000 Soldiers: Asia – 129,000 Africa – 1,000 Europe – 100,000 South America – 384 ME – 35,000

I guess you've never heard of the 82nd, the 101st, the 10th MTN, the 3ID, or the 75th. Fair enough. If that is true, look them up, and educate yourself. Lastly, to 'Orange' transport with another service shouldn't be considered a slight, when you're trying to win wars. (Which, our country has done since its inception.) What you Gomers fail to fathom, is that, the United States military's branches are NOT enemies with one another. We're on the same team. The sooner you realize that, the better. So many of you think that you're superior. You're not. That's a FACT. Reconcile yourself to it. You'll be better for it. -_-

What you silly, disrespectful Gomers need to understand, is that the US military's respective branches are not enemies of one another. This is not a d* measuring contest.

  152. ​ @LeatherneckJoe133  That's one hell of a picture, son. Unfortunately, it was painted by a rank amateur, who hasn't the foggiest idea what he's talking about I'm guessing you were either chaptered out, or, you were a pog. Marine pogs are funny in that, they're always the ones who like to fancy themselves as hardcore juggernauts, and have the biggest mouths, when they've NEVER lived the life of a grunt. In fact, the only thing they talk about incessantly, is learning basic $h1t (boot). I say this because only a clueless pog would say that the marines go in and wipe everything out, only so that the army, whose infantry BTW, is every bit as capable as marine infantry, can go in, and 'hold the beachhead'. That's ridiculous. IF you were infantry, then you would know that that's not what we do. But, you're probably young, and this is the drivel that your DI's force-fed you in history classes while at boot. So, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Either way, you couldn't BE more wrong if you wanted to be. Educate yourself BEFORE you post, sir.
    1
  153. ​ @LeatherneckJoe133  Well, then I stand corrected. And I do thank you for your service to this great nation. But you're still wrong. I've seen footage of soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War. I never saw them "holding" jack. They were deep in the $h1t, battling. "if you know anything about the US Marines you know that they are grunts first then they’re secondary MOS comes in" What I know for a fact is, unless you're an 03, you are definitely NOT a grunt. Going to the range once a year, does not an infantryman make. (Not even close) That's just some bull$h1t marine pogs love to say, so they can feel like they're hardcore infantry.  Also, when soldiers go through Basic Combat Training, they're taught 'BASIC' infantry tactics. As you can see, the "C" in BCT literally stands for COMBAT. And every single soldier will go through it. And that's irrespective of mos. But, unlike marines, pog soldiers KNOW that they're pogs, and don't try and convince the entire world that they're infantry, when they're decidedly NOT. And, to answer your question, yes. I was US Army Airborne infantry. 11 Bravo was my mos. You're never too old to learn something.

  160.  @spazman8675309  That's fair. It's kinda like how I'M never surprised when Marines talk shit about the Army on literally every single Army (US military) video on YouTube. I'll make it clear, and easy to understand....Infantry is Infantry! And that is irrespective of which branch you're on about. The differences are negligible, full stop. That whole 'ready to fight anytime, anywhere' thing is absolutely NOT exclusive to the USMC. The Army has its own RDF's. The beachhead thing....It's over. It's not even really a thing anymore. It always tickles me when I hear Marines talking incessantly about beaches, vs. inland. HOW you get to the A/O is completely irrelevant. It's what you do when you GET there, that's important. It takes no special Infantry skills whatsoever, to ride on/in watercraft, while en route to the battle. Army Infantry is just as capable of striking hard, and fast, as the Marines. If you doubt that, go to the search window, and type in: 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Airborne Division, 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Infantry Division, 75th Ranger RGT., 18D, and many others. Look at their training, or combat footage. Once you've done that, then talk to me about hitting hard, and striking fast. If you missed it, I'll type it again.....INFANTRY IS INFANTRY! Change my mind.

  161.  @spazman8675309  "since I have to spell it out, the navy and marine corps are on scene first, Uhm, that would completely depend on where the campaign is there, champ. So, you "spelled it" wrong. I re-read your initial post. I don't think the word "analogy" is used in the proper context. But, whatever. You're still wrong. If the Army, and Air Force are capable of, as you say, 'larger', and 'wider spread' attacks, then why would the USMC even be necessary? Now, I'm not saying that you could not have amassed knowledge of ground fighting SOP's of the respective branches....But....well.....let me put it this way, I'm not gonna talk about what the Navy does, never having SERVED in the Navy. Especially when I have no idea what I'm talking about. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING depends on the mission at hand. But, I do respect, and prop you for serving as a gunner. :-)

  162. What exactly, is 'amphibious warfare'?
    1
  163.  @blaircolquhoun7780  That's nice, but it didn't answer the question. I'll try again....What is amphibious warfare?
    1
  164.  @blaircolquhoun7780  I've always believed, that that is an absolutely asinine description for the Marines. Amphibious warfare literally means warfare on the water. That doesn't even remotely close to describe the Marines. That distinction belongs to the NAVY. Riding on watercraft, to get to the fight, is simply that. You're just getting a ride to the 'land' on which the infantry is going to fight. Literally nothing to do with anything amphibious, in terms of actual warfare.
    1
  165.  @blaircolquhoun7780  It doesn't. I maintain, that how you get to the fight, whether it's via watercraft, aircraft, landcraft, or teleportation beaming, is irrelevant. The infantry does not conduct warfare "on the water". It conduct it on LAND. So, the term "amphibious warfare" is not only a misnomer, it is misleading. Again, you're using amphibious craft to get to the land to fight. They may as well call it amphibious transportation. Because really, that's all it is.

  166. Let me guess....You were a pog in both branches. Did I nail it?

  167. The reason that difference wasn't mentioned, is because, like the Thylacine, it doesn't exist. That literally would be like saying that the difference between Granny Smith apples, and Gala apples, is that Gala apples taste like chicken. Not even close. Also, as for the army being slower.....Well, there are a pretty sizable amount of army units that would vehemently disagree with you. Among them, would be the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, the 10th Mountain Division, the 3rd Infantry Division, the 1st Infantry Division, the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and the 75th Ranger Regiment. ALL of which are RDF, light infantry units. The problem with a lot of marines, is that they think that the army consists exclusively of lumbering tanks. Tankers are NOT infantry. I always get a kick out of that 'we do more with less' crap. That's an old wives' tale that just won't die. Along with the army's mission statement being to 'hold ground'. Absolutely hilarious. I really wish you guys would know what you're talking about before you post. Army infantry, and marine infantry are practically identical. Oh, and BTW, overwhelm is one word, not two.

Kids, if you're seeing this, this is why it's important to stay in school.

No facts, just opinion. Face it, man...There is no discernable difference between Army infantry, and Marine Corps infantry, as it pertains to their respective TACSOPs, and how they conduct warfare. And I defy any ONE of you to prove differently.

  192. I don't think you want to go that route there, Mikey boy. They're standing a post. They're not special, and no better than any other security guard standing a post. In TOTAL, there are about 1800 of them, based in around 135 countries. At MOST, there are around 10-12 guards per embassy. Now, you don't really think those 10, or 12 marines, if the host country's army decides to overrun the embassy, would have a snowball's chance in a pizza oven, of quelling that attack, do you? I mean, if you do, let me know. I'd love a good belly laugh. 🤣

  196.  @MillerEP1  You said: "By the time they get there, we'll already be boots on the ground welcoming them to their new airfield we got them." Give me one instance in RECENT history, where that happened? Also, you really think that 2,200 Marines is a formidable force? I mean, maybe if there was a conflict against East Timor. But, what would those 2000 Marines be able to do against Russia, or China? Stop acting like you guys are any faster at RDF's than the Army. If you're already off the coast of the hot spot, of COURSE "SOME" of you will be there first. If we race in the hundred meter dash, and you start 50 meter mark, guess who will finish first. I mean, that's not rocket science. You guys act like you're there first ALL the time. ("We're first to fight...Yay") Nope! The 82nd, as a DIVISION, can be on the ground anywhere on this planet in 18 hours, or less. Also, in OEF, the 3ID was the first infantry unit on the ground. Infantry is infantry. Change my mind.
    1
  197.  @MillerEP1  Nope! In October, it was the CIA, with both US, and British SFO's. The first infantry unit on the ground, to FIGHT, was 3ID. Not sure why you're including a withdrawal. That wasn't a war.

  198. That literally made no sense.  What is it about riding on a water vessel, disembarking said vessel, and going ashore to fight, that makes them the "main fighting force"? Also, what if the conflict is well inland, or WAIT.....What if the country is landlocked? You guys are too much!😂

  199. ​ @emmanuelzozobrado5981  If being completely clueless was speed, you'd have to be measured in warp factors. You called marines soldiers. That tells me one (or both) of two things..... a. You've never served b. If you did serve, you were a pog. You're up here talking about a war that was fought damn near a century ago. Stop it, man. There hasn't been a beach assault on foreign land since the Korean War. I'm literally stunned that so many of you think that beach assaults (rare as they are) makes marines some kind of T-1000 robots, or some $h1t. How you get to the fight is completely irrelevant. It's what you do when you GET there that counts. Also, the biggest beach landing in our country's existence, was conducted by the US ARMY. So please don't talk to me about history, since you're obviously bereft of any knowledge of it. I used to think you guys were comical in your cluelessness. But now, it's actually kinda sad that so many of you are misinformed dolts. Holy smoke! 😲

Crayon is not a brand name, and therefore, doesn't need capitalization. Once again though, you're dead wrong. I never "MADE" the comment. I simply responded to yours. "You must be suffering from server case of Marine Corps envy." I think you meant "SEVERE" A "SERVER" is one who provides a service, or a network resource. Three times a charm, bud. You're wrong again. I was US Army Airborne infantry. Please tell me how jealousy is anywhere within 5 kiloparsecs of my person. What was YOUR mos? "I guess you’re making up for some SHORT comings."

Please pay attention, because school is in session.... Your cute little quote by General Vessey read, that there were THREE army regiments being "pinned down". A regiment consists of 5,000 men. X that by three, and you have around 15,000 troops. Now, be careful, because I don't want you to hurt yourself. In TOTAL, there were 1500 enemy troops on the island. Please explain how 15,000 army troops were "pinned down" by 1500 enemy boots, when the TOTAL NUMBER of American boots on the island was just 7000????? The conflict lasted 4 days. Read that again, sir. And slowly. I'll wait for your response........

  240.  @DepressedCrayonEater  First of all, 'bread' is something that you eat. I think you meant to say 'bred'.  Second, a dog's bite force is endemic to its breed. You can't train it to bite any harder than it is capable of biting. The German Shepherd being more 'controllable' as you put it, is a testament to its superior intelligence. In fact, only Border Collies, and Poodles (2, and 1 respectively) are smarter than Shepherds. Staffordshire PBT's are not even in the top 20. Point is, whether it's army infantry, or marine infantry, the differences between the two are microscopic.
    1
  241. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  I mean, I realize that you were probably force-fed this garbage by your drill hats while in boot. But, saying that the marines have a monopoly on 'most brutal and close quarters engagements' is just silly. (And I'm trying to be nice) Do you really think the generals look to see whose soldiers are the most brutal, and then decide that that engagement will go exclusively to the marine corps? Do you even hear what you're saying? That's one of the silliest things I've ever heard one of you say. Wow, man.
    1
  242.  @DepressedCrayonEater  I'd say that 90% of the marine corps' reputation, is told by the marine corps. All infantry is trained the same. You're no better. Again, that's just something you're going to have to accept. I know the truth can sometimes sting. But, I promise, you won't die.

  243. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  I wish you would condense your retorts to a single post. You're all over the place, and I simply don't have the time to tear apart your dialog, as I have $h1t to do. So, I'll do what I can. YOU said: "Culture, values, tradition, and brotherhood is what binds an army or a Corps together You underestimate its value.."  Well no $h1t. But I still fail to see how tradition can win a war. I mean, you're just not making any sense, man. The military literally exists to fight wars. What other soldiers, or marines did a century prior is completely irrelevant. I promise you, your history will not be thought of when you're getting fired upon. "Not only is the army far larger it is also not structured and organized like the Marine Corps" Please explain this, specifically. Structured/organized in what fashion? "and therefore cannot perform the mission of the Marine Corps at the same proficiency level that the Marines can by definition." Please tell us what the marines do that the army can't do. "The Marines are the best at what they do. The Marines are more akin to shock troops due to the fact that they are inherently more mobile and responsive than the Army by design." "Shock troops"? LOL I honestly believe you guys just throw words around having no idea what they mean. The US Army HAS to be big, with MASSIVE firepower. How is this news? What do you think all of that tradition, and culture of the US Marine Corps would do against a huge power like China, or NK, or even Russia? Do you honestly believe that all that "rah" crap will beat them alone? You act as if the entire US Army is sent in one big bag. It's not. Yes, we're huge. However, the 82nd Airborne Division for instance, is an RDF unit. It can be anywhere on the planet in 18 hours, or less. And, last I checked, no boat that has EVER existed, can move faster than a plane. And before you start with the marines being on boats thing, save your keystrokes. You number anywhere from 30 to 85 individuals. Not exactly what I'd call formidable. Say whatever you like, man. But, I'll tell you what I've told scores of marines like yourself. You'd better get down on your knees, and thank whatever deity you worship, that the United States Army exists. Because if it didn't, and a war broke out between the aforementioned powers, you'd be wiped clean off the face of this planet before you could say Peter Piper. We can win without you., but you CERTAINLY can't win without us. So show some respect to your brothers in arms, bro. We're NOT your enemy. Although, for reasons that will forever remain a mystery to me, you certainly ACT as though we are.

  244.  @DepressedCrayonEater  "I would also argue, as an organizational whole, there is a much greater emphasis on basic infantry skills across every MOS within the Marine Corps as compared to the army." You would lose that argument, sir. After your pogs are finished with MCT, you don't ever see it again. But, if you're gonna make claims like that, I'd ask for hardcore proof. Otherwise, you're just billowing smoke.

  245. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  "If we are going to compare boot camp, to army basic, every transfer from another branch must go through Marine Corps Bootcamp. With a few exceptions, Marines can transfer to any branch and skip their basic training. It is a different and in some cases arguably higher standard." LMAO! BANG! I KNEW it would only be a matter of time before the boot argument reared its ugly head. So, here I go again.  Let's talk about boot, shall we? You know, the thing where kids who probably still pee the bed, go to learn basic $h1t? Please get a grip, man. Do you know why prior service members have to go through marine boot? It's because it is MARINE CORPS POLICY. They think that they're going to be shook at the sight of those screaming DI's. That's hilarious. Only teenage kids are scared of drills. If I, an ex grunt decided to go to the MC, you think I, a grown man, would be shook by marine drills? Hahaha. Man, please. The other branches are smarter than that. They know that it is a complete waste of time, and money to require people whose DD-214's still have wet ink, to go through basic. HOWEVER, if you're out of service for more than three years, and you decide to go army, guess where your ass is going....Yup, BASIC. And that's whether you're a marine, or not. Don't get it twisted. If an army grunt decided to jump to the MC, fresh off his ETS, he would literally walk through boot. Stop the insanity, bro. This is getting crazy. Hahaha!
    1
  246. ​@aspectrum You keep harping on those cute little 'phrases', when we all know that pogs are NOT infantry. I just told you that every soldier goes through basic combat training, yet you don't seem to grasp that the rifleman thing is not exclusive to the marine corps. This is part of the disconnect. You guys are so wrapped up in your phrases, making you think you're all supermen. Wake up, man. You guys have to attend MCT/SOI, because you all get almost zero real infantry training in boot. The overwhelming majority of your 12 weeks (Yes, I said 12. Not sure why you guys always include reception as part of boot, when you're not training. You're processing) is getting taught how to be military, breaking you of civilian life, history classes, a little range time, a week of swimming, and an absolute incessant amount of drilling. (This is why you're so good at it. You're not magical. You do it constantly, until it's spewing out of your earholes.) So don't act like MCT is some hardcore extra combat training. Again, you get almost none while in boot. You're cherrypicking the story. Pog basic is 10 weeks. Infantry OSUT is 22 weeks. AIT is for things like MP's, Intelligence, medical, Information Technology, etc. All support mos's. The army's infantry alone is larger than the entire marine corps.

  247. ​ @DepressedCrayonEater  LOL! You're expecting me to believe that an MEU vessel is packed with 2000 marines, whose job is to float around on the sea just waiting for s**t to go down? Maybe you can enlighten me. Wouldn't that be like an Airborne unit just flying around on an airplane waiting for a war to start? I thought the MEU, like Airborne, was loaded "pre" deployment for an impending crisis. Either way, what if nothing happens in those "hotspots", but a crisis occurs thousands of miles away? Is the MEU near the South China Sea going to engage its warp core to zip across the sea? Or, maybe the navy is now equipped with teleportation capability. Sure, IF there's a crisis in a 'hotspot', you're already there. Duh.

  248.  @DepressedCrayonEater  "In regard to the 82nd airborne being anywhere in the world in 18 hours, it’s not the whole division, it is a singular brigade combat team. " Uhm, a division is a unit. And IN that unit, ALL mos's are included. So, even if you're a cook, and you're attached to the 82nd, you will still wear the patch. When the 82nd is called into action, pretty sure that doesn't include the pogs "attached" to the unit. A division consists of 15,000 individuals. A brigade, 5,000. Pog basic was increased from 9 to 10 weeks. We never include reception. I never said that YOU said that pog marines were infantry. But, you keep harping on that riflemen phrase, as if it ONLY pertains to the marine corps. It doesn't. A g a i n....ALL soldiers are trained with the rifle. AND, are BASICALLY combat trained. So, by your definition, they would be considered riflemen too, would they not? If the answer is yes, then I'm confused why you would even bring that up.
    1
  249.  @DepressedCrayonEater  "As I said, with a few exceptions Marines can transfer to any branch without going through that branches basic. That is not the case for every other branch transferring to the Marine Corps. You might be a hardcore Airborne Infantrymen, respect, but the Marine Corps doesn’t care. If you transfer, you will start out as a nasty know nothing recruit , and earn your place like everyone else." What the marines "consider" you, is not relevant. If I go to the marine corps fresh out of Airborne infantry, trust me, I know how to fight. Going through boot wouldn't mean a damn thing to me, and, as "I" said, would be colossal waste of time. I literally would be yawning all the way through it. But, you keep believing that boot camp (i.e., learning basic s**t), is the be all, end all for your entire military career. That's precious.

  250.  @DepressedCrayonEater  What I "talk like" is a non-issue. When I said that, I was generalizing. Maybe YOU didn't say it, but scores of marines have. But, don't take MY word for it. Click on an army video, and check the comments section. It's there for thine own eyes. ;-)

  251.  @jesusloves3333  I think it's precious that you named yourselves after a snack cake. The marines ain't fighting the army, bruh. Not even in your wildest dreams. Better respect your brother in arms there, Gomer. Without us, you're humped like a herd of Bactrian camels. The army can beat any country's boots that exist on the planet without you. But, you certainly can't win without us. Remember that.

  255. ​ @lamoe4175  That's nice. But, the problem is, those marine supply clerks, networks admins, truck drivers, JAG personnel, and spoons all think they're hard charging grunts. And why? Because they all finished boot. Not impressed. The difference is, army pogs KNOW they're pogs. They don't try to pass themselves off as big bad Billy Badasses. Not even close. Most marines think they're better than everyone else. All they ever talk about is boot, boot boot. Learning basic $h1t. Once they get to their units, the only time they ever see anything even remotely close to combat, is when they go to the range to re-qual once a year. The marines number LESS than a hundred seventy thousand. A good 70% are pogs. The army has close to a million. The army's infantry/combat arms ALONE dwarfs the size of the entire marine corps. So, yeah, you guys can sort of afford to be cultist weirdos, because of your paltry numbers. After all, you're the navy's infantry. Pogs notwithstanding. But, make no bones about it, you and I BOTH know, that in the event of a war with a real threat, you guys would get wiped off the face of the earth without the army. Fitness, standards, screaming DI's, and those Purdy dress blues all don't mean jack $h1t in war.

And that's irrespective of branch of service. That literally describes every military base on foreign soil. Marines are literally the Navy's infantry. That whole thing about the US Army being built to hold land is a ridiculous wives' tale. I was Army infantry, and I can't remember a single thing in my training, that even remotely resembled holding land. Our mission was to go, when called upon, and obliterate the enemy. I never held any land. You'd have to look through a microscope, to see any difference whatsoever, between Army infantry, and USMC infantry. Completely negligible.

  270.  @callewfitz  Dude, stop it. There are anywhere between 35-85 marines on a vessel. You don't really expect us to believe, that that paltry number could take on an entire nation of enemy soldiers, do you? Man.....I wish you guys would think BEFORE you post. -_-

  280. "instant military on dail" The 101st Airborne Division, 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, 10th Mountain Division, 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Infantry Division, 173rd Airborne Brigade, 11th Airborne Division, 1st Cavalry Division, 10th SFG, and the 75th Ranger Regiment have all entered the chat, and vehemently disagree with you.

  282.  @ljmorris6496  1. You said that the marines are "instant military on dail" (assuming you meant dial) Pretty sure you're referring to RD. Every army unit I mentioned, is an RDF unit. 2. You said that the army has neither winged, not watercraft....Wrong. 3. The 82nd Airborne Division obviously does not have jets, or ships. But you said that the "ARMY" does not, and you were wrong. But don't take MY word for it. Look it up yourself. 4. What you (and a lot of marines) never seem to be able to understand, is that the four branches of the US. military play for the same team. It is NOT a competition. When the enemy is trying to vanquish us, they do not pick and choose which branch to go after. Enemy combatants are enemy combatants, IRRESPECTIVE of what their uniform looks like. They don't care, nor SHOULD they.

  283.  @ljmorris6496  Roger that, sir.

  284.  @ljmorris6496  Please explain specifically what "instant military on dial" is.
    1
  285.  @ljmorris6496  I seriously think there's a communication gap here. So, I'll try just once more. Please concentrate and take your time reading. YOU said that those units do not have their own aircraft, watercraft. But the ARMY indeed DOES have them. What the units are, is irrelevant. Does the army have its own C-17s, and C-130s? Of course not. But, you'd better believe that they're there for use at any moment in time. There are currently 7 MEU's. Now, let's say, in some wild scenario, that the United States had to go to war with China, IN China. It's only an example, as I realize this would probably never happen. BUT, if it did, and there's an MEU off the coast of Japan, which, at its closest point, is 2000 miles away, how long do you think it would take to get there? No worries, I did the math for you. An MEU's TOP speed is around 27 MPH. My math tells me that it would take them 3 days to get there. The 82nd Airborne Division can be anywhere on the planet in 18 hours, or less. So yes, they are very much "military on dial". THAT, my friend, was my point all along. The fact that they have to use the air force for transport is completely irrelevant.

  288. Uhm, China has almost 3400 fighter jets. The Marines have a TOTAL of 297. Not exactly an air 'force', now is it? The Marines, in TOTAL, have about 180,000 people. More than 85% of those are POGS! (Now, watch, as he PREDICTABLY mentions that crap about 'every Marine being a rifleman.) The sooner you guys stop swallowing all the bullshit you're fed, the better you'll be for it. You're not some omnipotent super beings, capable of kicking the whole world's ass all by yourselves. You're fkn MEN! You really expect anyone reading this to BELIEVE, that 2200 Marines (MEU) can "stand alone"???? Against WHO? Liechtenstein?? Man, you guys are freakin HILARIOUS! LMAO!! Did you even serve? Educate yourself BEFORE you post stupid, untruthful shit!

  289.  @Ezees23  I'm not disputing a single word of what you wrote, man. I get it. MY problem with a lot of Marine pogs is, they think that just because they shot at pop up targets in boot, that somehow makes them Infantrymen....And that's not even remotely close to accurate. But, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not crapping on pogs. Without them, we grunts can't do jack. I just don't like it when they try to pass themselves off as being these omnipotent juggernauts. It's ridiculous. And, as an aside, every single Soldier, irrespective of MOS, MUST do "BASIC" combat training, and learn to shoot. BUT, I say again, they are NOT INFANTRY! That's a whole different ball of wax, trust me! I've lived that life for YEARS, so I know what I'm talking about. Stay safe.

  300.  @harshglare5017  You said that Marines "know how to act". That LITERALLY is an irony tsunami. Tell ya what, champ...Put US Army in the search window, right here on YT. Click on any video. No, seriously, ANY one! I will promise you one thing, it will be FULL of Marines who "know how to act". (haha) Pfft. Come back to me when your Marine brethren are able to show respect to the other branches. Which, BTW, keep this country safe as a WHOLE. Where would the Marines be, if every branch that stupid, disrespectful Marine pogs shit on, suddenly disappeared? You don't have to answer, as I'm sure you already know. But, why am I even responding to you, when you've never even served? Now I feel slightly less intelligent for having done so. You have no clue what you're talking about. -_-

  309. @ "Why do you think the USMC is the only branch that can be deployed anywhere in the world without the approval of Congress? Marines are sent into the worst situations, with the worst equipment, and get the best results." You're completely FOS. First off, I was army infantry, and I don't remember holding a damn thing for the marines. What sense does it make for the army, and its absolutely massive budget, to have all that firepower to play sentry? That's hilarious! I wish you guys could hear yourselves. If I had just five bucks for every time I read this (copied/pasted) bat guano that you guys spew on SM, I'd make Elon Musk look like a pauper. The worst situations with the worst equipment?? I seriously can't stop laughing! Oh, and I suggest you familiarize yourself with the War Powers Act of 1973. Maybe you guys will stop that "we can be deployed without congressional approval" thing. Because it is decidedly NOT true. LMAO!

  314. Sorry there, Vincey...But you're woefully inaccurate, and have absolutely no freakin CLUE what you're talking about. 1st. That $hit about the Marines going in, taking the land with overwhelming force, and then the Army coming in to setup forts, is hilarious. Absolute bull$hit....But, hilarious just the same. In all my years of training in the infantry, I've literally never seen anything even remotely resembling setting up a fort. (LMFAO!!) 2nd. I'm calling bull$hit on your "Had plenty of vets from other branches, Army included, say to me, "I wish I would have joined the Marines." thing. Cool story bro. But, I'm not buying. I've seen abused pack animals who are treated better than you guys in the fleet. This is why so many of you finish your 4 year hitch, then jump ship to the "Nasty Girls". THEN, you said: "The fact that you didn't, for the purposes of the conversation, tells me [you know] you took a softer route - for whatever reason - and now regret missing out on the chance to be a part of a very special fraternity. I've yet to know of a Marine who wished he would have joined another branch. Semper Fi." Hahahaha!! I think it's cute the way you try to sound all tough, and intelligent, when it made no sense whatsoever. What was YOUR mos? Be honest....You were a pog, huh? (Now watch, he'll say the same old tired bull$hit that all you dumb pog ass Gomers say. "ALL Marines are grunts!" Pure, unadulterated comedy! :-D ) Lastly, the Army DOES have camps, as WELL as forts, you nimrod. CLEARLY you posted this absolute drivel about the Army, with zero knowledge of it. Yup, another dumb Gomer, suffering from delusions of superiority. yawn -_-

  315. So, you're comparing regular Marines with "Nasty Girls"?? Bro!!! -_-

  316. You literally couldn't be more wrong. You should delete this post, because you have no idea what you're talking about. Probably not your fault, though. You were more than likely spoon-fed that garbage in your history classes while at boot. -_-

  317. Expeditionary literally means a military that is sent to fight on foreign soil. Pretty sure all four branches of the U.S. military have done just that. I will never understand why you guys think that this is something exclusive to the marine corps. Army infantry, and marine corps infantry are practically identical. Culture, and mindset are words that marines love to throw around. That's cute in garrison, but they mean absolutely nothing on the battlefield.....Where it counts.
    1
  318.  @YoungEli9  Well there's where you're dead wrong, chief. I, too, love every branch. The only thing I have against "some" marines, is the fact that they shit on their brothers in arms, and think that they're the only branch of the U.S. military that can fight. But, don't take my word for it. Click on literally any army video that exists on YT, peruse the comments section, and take a shot of gin every time you see a marine therein talking shit. Nice knowin' ya. One team, one fight.

  319. And you think that the ripped one was ripped just "because" he was a Marine? No other factors are afoot, eh? Come one, man. You're smarter than that. You HAVE to be. -_-

Plus, in no reality known, or UNknown, would the marines, and army ever fight. They both play for the same team. These cute little videos are made for nothing more than clicks, and sophomoric discussion. But please, do tell us what your accolades, experience, and children's service bring to the table where this asinine question is concerned.

  329. Why would we have to go to an airborne unit? You do know that not every soldier is going to be assigned to one, don't you? Also, there are 'leg' units in the army that kill it. Among them, are the 10th MTN, 3ID, and the Big Red One, to name a few. All VERY capable. And how does squad leaders only, having NV's make them better trained? I've literally read marines' accounts in the YT comments section, who've served in both branches' respective infantries, who've said that there wasn't a plug nickel's worth of difference between the two.

  330. The problem is, videos like these, which seem to be a byproduct of what they're spoon fed in boot, by their DI's. What's REALLY sad is, they actually believe this $hit.

  331. Here we go again, with the "Marines take the area, and then the Army holds it." Absolute hogwash. The differences between USA infantry, and USMC infantry, are negligible.

Also, please dispense with the whole amphibious crap. What special skills do you need to ride on watercraft, as transportation to your objective? You realize that, as soon as you dismount watercraft, you're fkn Infantry, right? How you get there requires no special Infantry skills. Marines report directly to the president??! Bro, are you DRUNK? WHO told you that? LMAO!!! This is HILARIOUS!! "The DOD had to setup SOCOM in order to compete with the Marines." ^^^ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I literally feel like I lost IQ points just by taking the time to respond to all this garbage!! I'm literally STUNNED how much bullsh*t you guys are fed, and swallow!! Just wow!!!!!!
    1
  339. ​ @agmsmith4079  Sure, pal. Let's play! There are actually SEVERAL ways to get all that equipment overseas. I'll give you two. 1. United States Air Force/United States Navy. As we're the United States MILITARY, we have what is called, a SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP! Now, I know you're a little challenged intellectually, so I'll make it easy for you! Symbiosis basically means that two different species are mutually beneficial to one another. To dumb it down even further, it's a one hand washes the other/you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours deal. Get it? lol! "Sailors/Airmen, we know you guys don't do any ground-fighting, so we'll take care of it for you. All we ask is that you give us transportation to the A/O. You will? Cool! You guys rock!" ^^^ THIS, because we're BROTHERS IN ARMS, and fight for the SAME F*CKING TEAM!! A concept Gomers like you fail miserably to grasp! TOGETHER, we keep our country safe! There's none of that gay crap you Marines are notorious for...Like dick-measuring. Soldiers are kinda like that old Eddie Murphy stand up clip. When your dick is big, you don't NEED to measure it! You just know it is! LOL! There's none of that, "if it wasn't for us, you couldn't take the fight to the enemy!" Know why??? Because that is LAME! If we can't take the fight to the enemy, the enemy can't get its ass kicked! DUH! 2. Please Google USTRANSCOM. If your STUPID ass didn't know (and I'm pretty sure you DIDN'T!), the US Army ALSO uses PRIVATE transportation companies to get to the A/O! So, thank you US Navy, and USAF!. (Notice I didn't mention Marines. You guys are pretty much useless when it comes to transportation.) And you can kill all that crap about how you're part of the Navy...As if you should get some kind of props. Especially when all you do is talk shit about them! "Yeah, we're the Department of the Navy.....The MEN'S department!" Sound familiar?? LMAO! I'm an all pro when it comes to this shit! You're way out of your league, son! So, as they say in the vernacular....You better recognize! Also, I wanna know where you got that drivel about the Marines reporting directly to the president!!! I actually woke up this morning, STILL laughing at that shit!! LMFAO! OH...And how SOCOM was established to compete with Marines!! OMFG!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! BTW, I hope the popcorn was delicious! LOLOLOL!!!

  340.  @agmsmith4079  Ho...Lee...Shit! You are, without a doubt, one of the dumbest people I've ever interacted with on YT! Marines actually DO use the USAF to transport their tanks overseas!!! If you DOUBT me, read it yourself.......WAIT for it.........MARINES DOT MIL!!! M-88A2's, and M1 Abrams tanks are carried by AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT, you absolute dolt!
