  1.  @matthiasdebruijn1113  If you call every army which is transported by boat "marines", then the Romans invented it.

  2.  @Mhvn1987  No, the other way around. The English had so soldiers on a chip, but the Dutch was a real marine corps very much like it is today. But politics love to chance history.

  3.  @wouter8294  The Roman empire had then 200 BC. So what do we call Marines? A soldier on a boat? Then we can probably go back for 10.000 years when the Chinese cross the sea to become the latter Japanese.......

  4. The dutch invented the marines as well as the government payed professional army. This was needed int he 80 years war where the Dutch were fighting a way bigger Spanish army. By the way, another US Marine, Jamesons Travels know the Dutch invented this. I always thought all US Marines knew this.

  5. English is a young language that has a lot of old-Dutch in it and Frisian as well. (Frisian is a old Scandinavian language still spoken in the north of the Netherlands. I think it is not that hard for you to learn to understand and even speak Dutch. Reading and writing will be a different ball game.

  6. The Romans brought large quantities of soldiers by boat. Among them the feared famous X legion to Africa. So if "coming from a boat" is similar to a Marine, the Roman had it about 200BC.

  10. Ik wist niet dat er nog zoveel schaapjes waren die de waarheid blijven ontkennen en een vieze dictator steun die zijn eigen land kapot heeft gemaakt. Jullie zullen wel kartelstemmers zijn. Vooral naar de NOS blijven kijken. Je laten voorliegen is makkelijker dan zelf eens op onderzoek uitgaan toch?
