Army or Marines

[Soljiboy]

Are you in the Army or Marines in this game?

[ACEofSPADES87]

The United States Army.

[Soljiboy]

Sweet...I hate the marines, I respect them, they fight for our country too, it's just that they are stuck up and they think they are better than every one else. Which most definity is NOT true!

[Nirvana128]

Hey! The marines are just as good as the army... I personally like the army too, but the marines arnt stuck up...

[Soljiboy]

Oh yes, most definitly, there marines are just as good, i completely agree, but i dont think they are better, but the marines that i have talked to think that they are the best branch

[AgentOrange_section8]

every branch thinks that...they always have beef with other branches like navy and airforce they are like "damn airforce guys" and stuff like that...every 1 thinks they are better than any one else...but Marines are known as more "tough guy" image than anyone else. An example this guy named Quinn i met him on this plane ride he show'd me his Rangers tat on his arm and told me all these Nam storys it was cool man hes black too he said that they stumbled on this group of Marines in Nam and they stayed together as a mixed unit thing...and they came upon this hill with a bunker on it and the marines were like "TAKE THAT HILL!" and started running up and guys were getting ripped apart. He was like "marines are stupid tough guys see the Army boys are smart" and he said that they called in a Airstrike on the bunker. So Marines are mostly known for their tough guy image

the U.S. Marines are the most elite fighting force in the world... All great invasions in ww2 and Korea were Led by the U.S.M.C. There is nothing more deadly than a marine and his weapon. Marines arent stupid, they just have balls. In vietnam Marines suffered around 13,000 kia, and they are the smallest force in the military, you got to have respect for them. All great snipers and marksmen were marines scout/snipers.

Marine Corpes for life

you mean all the great invasions in the pacific theater of ww2 i dont think there where marines in normandy or anzio and if there were it was just a few

also there is a difference between between being stupid and having balls. in the story that guy told with the marines just runing to the bunker thats called stupid not ballsy(i mean no offence i have alot of respect for any one who has fought and died for our country)

[CKY1709]

Thats not stupid, they were told to charge the bunker so they did. How can you say marines are stupid? You shouldnt say that about anyone serving in the military. Besides thats one story if its even true!

[AgentOrange_section8]

Look the storys true ok the guy i know got purple hearts the whole deal he got shot 5 times anyways theres no reason to DISS the Marines or any one who fights for the U.S.A because they do one hell of a job my dads in the Airforce i know its not cool as the marines or army or anything but there aint no reason to disrespect the Marines they followed their orders their platoon leader said charge the hill and they did with out question and thats dedication man! Now they dont have to charge any hills so we are very lucky now a days but anyways man Marines are still hardcore so are the Army Airforce and Navy!! dont disrespect they make sure you can sleep at night! or even be on a damn computer! anyways im OUT

How stupid, the marines were only in the pacific CKY, there were no arines in d-day, they were in iwo jima saipan and okinawawa. and there were some army in there to, but only a little platoon of army SF. and the marines arent the most elite fighting force in the world, in my opinion the army rangers are. my cousin is a marine and my brother is a ranger. and my cousin told me that if the army and marines were to go into an all out fight, depending on how long it lasted one branch would win. marines are trained for short strickes were they go in and blow everything up and kill everybody. but he also said that if the firefight dragged on too long they would have to pull out because the marines arent trained for prolonged firefights, and they would have to send the army. so in a long fight, the army is better, but for short srikes, the marines are better. they are trained for different situations. and no the marines dont go first. army special forces, army rangers, and navy seals go first. but they go to recon the area.

[ACEofSPADES87]

The Marines fought in the Pacific against Japan, i dont belive they were in europe.

[CKY1709]

yeah... did you see mail call during the d-day period.. they talked about marine beach assualts. and i thought they said some marines were there on d-day

[CKY1709]

my cousin is a marine as well, and no they were not just trained for short fights. In vietnam the marines were in plenty of long fought fights and won. The army rangers are still a part of the Army which is one fighting force. And when it comes down to it, the marines are better trained and equipped then the army. Thats why im joining the marines ans not the army

[ACEofSPADES87]

i agree that the marines are more well equipped and better trained than the army. But the Marines definately did not storm the beaches of Normandy, they stormed the beaches of the Guadacanal etc.. but definatly not Normandy.

[CKY1709]

my grandfather fought in ww2 and he was in the pacific theater. he said that small groups of marines made beach assaults but i guess not on d-day. my bad.

[AgentOrange_section8]

there WERE marines on D-Day the engineers! they had to clear the tank traps those big metal things!

[CKY1709]

lol ya sure maybe. That was after we took the bunkers at the top of the beaches.

[CKY1709]

are you kidding ace? cause the had to clear those things before they could even get most of the troops on to the beach because of the anti tank obstacles even way out in the water... Besides thats still part of the invasion, if they didnt clear those things they wouldnt be able to take over europe without their tanks. So marines aswell as any part of the military played a big role in the invasion

I was in the Army, but I have great respect for the Marines. I have always found the ones I met to be thoroughly professional and dedicated people. Though it may seem odd to some, they actually have a great reputation for innovative tactics, and adapting to situations. See this article for what they are up to in Iraq: http://slate.msn.com/id/2096027
I also appreciate how the Marines train all personnel, regardless of specialty, as infantry, which accounts for the fact that historically, Marine rear echelon personnel have, when the need arose, dropped whatever they were doing and fought like infantry. A very good, highly motivated, flexible light fighting force. I tip my hat to them.

[CKY1709]

What part of the Army, and when did you serve. Cause im want to join the marines in a year
