For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

My understanding of the marines is they are a separate branch capable of forcible entry from the air, land, and sea and are the only branch to use amphibious warfare.
The Army has paratroopers but no amphibious units( I know of ).Comment

Would the planes in the navy be air force then?Originally posted by Asher View PostNo, because there's no ****ing reason why there can't be an Army Expeditionary Force...
There needs to be three services:
GROUND forces.
AIR forces.
NAVAL forces.
Airplanes belong in the AIR FORCES.
Soldiers on the ground belong in the GROUND FORCES.
Ships belong in the NAVAL FORCES.
It's that simple. You can have specialty units in each if you so choose. But to give them their own service is just retarded and pointless overhead.Comment

I agree, the marines are first in, to hold the line then the army will move in for occupation.Originally posted by Asher View PostComment

A single combined military in the US would be a great way to save a bunch of money and probably produce a better military overall if the current bunch of professional soldiers in our military would go along with it and put all their "traditional" crap behind them.
As it is, the current structure encourages rivalries instead of cooperation. This is not a good thing when it comes to weapons acquisition, overall command structure, or proper use of actual forces. The savings alone from removing a bunch of the bureaucracy would make it worth doing.Keep on Civin'

Putting aside the usual trolling by the usual suspects, it could be argued that a single command structure would solve some pretty big problems faced by the military as ming stated above. It won't happen in this country though for the simple fact that tradition and political forces would not allow it.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul TighComment

Glad to see everyone here agrees. Canada's military is the model to follow.
