    As a former Army Infantryman I had the pleasure of contracting with Marine Infantryman in Afghanistan. Although we have are differences and both will argue they’re better than the other, both groups are highly trained and will destroy any opposing force on the battlefield.

    As a former 0311, the level of stress, anger, living conditions, used and abused issued gear, green weenie, and quality of life all make an unstable and pissed off warrior. Thats the secret to where Marines derive their ferocity, violence, and urge to kill. Its easier to fight your enemy when you have all this rage built up. 1/1 & 2/1.

      I suspect things are very similar in the Army, but I don't know for sure. I'll happily listen to any 11 series that corrects me on this.
      Life is just....FRUSTRATING. Often, when a guy in a unit messes up, the guy's unit will be punished. This means you spend a lot of time "in trouble" for stuff you didn't do.
      In some units, you spend a lot of time fighting. Your squad might get attacked by 3rd squad and beat on each other until those pussies from 2nd platoon come over, then you units and go ball up 2d Plt.
      Plus, being a grunt just...HURTS. You spend so much time being hot/cold, hungry, tired, carrying heavy shit, or gasping for breath on a run or swim or bump (hike)...when you get to "vent" all of that on an enemy, it's like a nuclear explosion .
      It's hard to explain.
      Also, I don't really like these "Marines vs Army" things. I was a Marine grunt, and I think ALL grunts are my brothers. Army dogs, Brit squaddies...hell, the Roman legionaire with his pilum and gladius 2000 years ago - ALL of us are the same in the important ways.

      Dominique Govinden Example...Imaging it’s a Friday. Generally, Friday Mornings Marines are required to form for Battalion Formation. An Inspection of the Barracks usually follows the Battalion Inspection. Thursday nights are reserved for the “field day” or cleaning of the Barracks and Individual Rooms Marines are Housed in. Fast forward to Friday Morning. On an Ideal day, once Battalion Inspection is Over, your Platoon Sgt. may have his Marines draw Weapons, Marines will clean them for the rest of the Morning and then Marines will form up in Platoon Sized elements at which point your let go for the weekend or Holiday...that’s best case! Worst Case, after you turn your Weapons bank into the Armory, your told to take everything out of your room and feint day all over again. The field day will last for hours. Worst part, while your conducting the field day, you see other Platoons laughing or talking shit, some Marines may even sympathize with your Platoon while they are hitting the highway for the weekend; Instant rage moment!!!! Or, after you turn in weapons, you go back to the Barracks to wait on the “word” which won’t come from the Company Office for a minimum of three to four hours. Meantime, you e made plans that have been screwed...Instant rage moment!!! Due to the stress, Devil Dogs stay drunk,, angry and often times can be found in the head “hiding” from working parties with a good fuck book beating their cocks due to rage and anxiety due to the Games played by NCO’s and SNCO’’s. All this is geared to keep you mad enough to kill 👌

      Remember that in the MARINE CORPS only 1 in 5 MARINES is a GRUNT. It's the largest MOS in the MARINE CORPS at 35,000 of the 160,000 are GRUNTS and everyone else is just support! One thing for sure is that NOBODY wants to be a GRUNT and nobody talks shit about the GRUNTS!

    I knew a ww2 vet . He told me about his service in the Pacific. He was at Iwo Jima , the Philippines and several other islands. He was an army tank retriever. He said he’d carry a rifle again if he had to for his country. He was 83 when he said that. I was amazed at his patriotism and willingness . Those men were everything a soldier can be. He was poor and divorced when I knew him and he worked on people’s cars to earn extra money. He used to lay on the ground on cold winter days fixing them. And then only charge people 10 dollars. It was enough to buy a meal for that day.
    I’ve tried to emulate him, but he was far and away a better man than me.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/147th_Regiment_(United_States)#World_War_II
      The regiment's next assignment would prove to be their most difficult; in the spring of 1945, the Ohioans fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima.[5] In the early days of the Marine landings, the 147th was ordered to climb from landing craft with grappling hooks to scale a high ridge about 3/4 mile from Mount Suribachi. The mission was to fire on the enemy opposing the Marine landings on the beaches below.[6] They were soon pinned down by heavy Japanese fire, and engaged in non-stop fighting for 3 months. Once the island was declared secure, the regiment was ostensibly there to act as a garrison force, but they soon found themselves locked in a bitter struggle against thousands of stalwart defenders engaging in a last-ditch guerilla campaign to harass the Americans.[7] Using well-supplied caves and tunnel systems, the Japanese resisted American advances. For three months, the 147th methodically scoured the island, using flamethrowers, grenades, and satchel charges to ferret out the enemy. 1,602 Japanese were officially credited as killed, and 867 captured, with potentially thousands more sealed up in caves using explosives. Some sources credit the regiment with killing at least 6,000 Japanese soldiers in those anonymous and merciless small unit actions.[7] In return, the 147th suffered fifteen men killed in action and 144 wounded.[8]
      Not many people know that.

      @@randalldemichel4818 The US Army was the main ground fighting force in the Asia-Pacific Theater. The Marines had 6 divisions, but the Army had around 21 I believe. They Army fought at:
      Philippines, Okinawa, Saipan, Peleliu, Guam, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Papua New Guinea, Burma, Aleutian Islands
      Sadly, a lot of Army stories in that theater are pretty much forgotten about. The Marines' role is much more famous, because they're more PR conscious and some of their battles were exceptionally bloody. But that was actually a criticism of the Navy/Marine Corps by the Army during WW2. Island hopping was a Navy/USMC obsession, many Army top brass thought those island were not worth the price. They wanted to focus on big real estate and crushing Japan's ground forces. If the Marine Corps didn't exist, the Army would never have agreed to commit large ground forces to seizing shit like Tarawa and Iwo Jima, although Peleliu was an Army fuckup.

    I served in both active duty Army and Active Duty Marine Corps, both times in the infantry. I the Army I was a 11B infantryman in the 10th Mountain Div. and as an 0331 machine gunner in the 1st Marine Division, so I have a unique insight into this. Yes, they both locate, close with and destroy the enemy through fire and maneuver BUT they are both very different. Everything from equipment, training, leadership, comradery and mission. Even the lingo is totally different. I will state this as fact, that I got better training, more schools and better deployments in the Marines - no joke. We were almost always training and doing useful things in the Corps. In the Army I probably spent 75% of my time in the barracks playing Play Station. The one big difference in training (not counting deployments - that's a a whole nother ball of wax), was that in the Marines we trained Monday - Friday and I almost had every weekend off. Other than Jungle Warfare School and a couple of CAX in 29 Palms at the Battalion level, we never spent more than 5 days out in the field. In the Army though we would go out for 2 - 3 weeks straight at a time. That part SUCKED! In my opinion both do a great job at what they do (for the most part) but if had to go back in it would be the Marines without a doubt. This is also true, I still talk to a lot guys I served with in the Corps on a weekly basis and I have not talked to one - not one soldier that I served with in the Army since I got out. That's the culture difference.

      @@elevenb6967 The Marine Corps is the same across the board when it comes to the type of units. So all infantry units will have the same mentality, training, and esprit de corps. The only thing that will differ is leadership competency. I’ve worked with different infantry units in the Army and it’s like I was working with a different military each time. Each unit had a different mentality, different training, and different espirit de corps. I worked with dudes from 2/327 “No Slack” out of Ft. Campbell and they felt extraordinarily different from the soldiers from 10th Mountain from Ft. Drum and the other guys from Ft. Polk. So it makes sense that as far as training, effectiveness, and camaraderie are involved there’s a variance when it comes to Army units. Basically what I’m saying is that you will have very different experiences being in one Army infantry unit versus another. But that isn’t the case in the Marine Corps. Every unit feels the same. I’m pretty sure it’s by design. The only exception I’ll make is 1/7 Charley or “Suicide Charley”. But they’re the only exception.
      Chris Kyle’s (famous SEAL sniper) opinion is similar to mine “ When you’re working with Army and Marine Corps units, you immediately notice a difference. The Army is pretty tough, but their performance can depend on the individual unit. Some are excellent, filled with hoorah and first-class warriors. A few are absolutely horrible; most are somewhere in between. In my experience, Marines are gung ho no matter what. They will all fight to the death. Every one of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers.”

      @FRANK45CASTLE Generally speaking, there is a trade off when choosing a job in any branch where you need to choose “useful to my eventual civilian career” or insane street cred and endure a lot of suck. Most jobs sit somewhere in the middle, but that street cred can’t be earned anywhere else. You can always learn a new skill from scratch when you get out, but you can’t get that brotherhood and experience once you’re out. I was security forces in the AF, but if I could do it over again knowing what I know now, I would probably choose marines, since that was the experience I wanted but was talked out of as a 17 year old.

    I was an 0311 in the Corps for seven years. I never served in the Army, but I served with some Army units alongside us, and they did just fine. I believe there are differences, and some of them are important, in my opinion, that separate the Marine Corps from every other branch. It isn't our equipment, or our "superior fighting skills." It's the mindset and the small unit leadership that is instilled into you even as a boot ass private. I was a fireteam leader the day I arrived to the FMF. I was a Platoon Commander as a 21 year old Corporal in command of 39 Marines and a Navy Corpsman. Not one of the officers or SNCOs in my unit had any doubts in my abilities to lead men into combat even as an E4. In the Army, it seemed like all of the Squad Leaders were old as f*** Staff Sergeants. They seemed to be quite heavy on rank, whereas in the Marine Corps, rank was not nearly as important as ability to do the job, but the Marine Corps's ranks are younger as a whole, probably because not very many men are crazy enough to reenlist as a grunt after their first enlistment. In the Navy, it's hard to get people out because they all want to reenlist, but then again, they aren't humping 30 miles through the desert on a regular basis and sleeping in the mud with only a helmet for a pillow. The Army infantry gets my respect, though. Grunts are Grunts no matter what is sewn above their left breast pocket.

      You will not take a magazine and insert it into your weapon without permission (we called it Sitting Duck Policy)
      After mag insertion, you will keep your weapon on "Safe" and not fire until you are given permission. (aka Hurry Up and Wait.........To die).

We are not structured, equipped, or particularly trained to hold in the defense for long periods of time, and our culture has been intentionally developed to be one of aggressive offensive action as opposed to defense. The strategic function of the Marine Corps is attack. In a large-scale conventional war against a near-peer opponent, we would take the ports the army needs to bring their big toys to the fight, then hand it over to them and move on to another objective.
      That's in no way saying "the army can't/doesn't attack" and it's disingenuous to claim that's what's being said. Of course the army is capable of conducting offensive operations. Literally nobody has ever said otherwise.

      Marines usually join the Army because the Marines don’t think highly of people who get out and try to come back in. You usually lose rank and if you’ve been out over a year, you’d be lucky if they take you back. If a soldier left the Army for the Marines, they’d start from scratch, which is why it is rare.
      Funding in the Marines isn’t as bad pre Afghanistan war and I don’t think there’s much if anything conventional Army has over Marines. Marines are using the M27 with silencers and some have opscore, which is SOF level equipment.
      Deployed more for the Army than Marines, I doubt it. Marine infantry is way smaller and they have standing MEU deployments outside direct combat ones. Marines were the lead in Fallujah, Najaf, and were a large part in Ramadi.

      The Army hands out awards like CANDY compared to the Marine Corps. You have to EARN the title “Marine” a Marine doesn’t have to EARN anything to join the Army but INFACT receives an automatic RANK (not some little “as was there” ribbon) promotion.

    The myth about the marines being the first in and the army taking over needs to be put to rest. Both forces have their perspective attributes to bring to the battlefield. However, the Army has always been and will always be the main invasion force since it is the largest organization within within U.S. military, has the most man power, and the better technology and funding out of the two. The marines are an amphibious based invasion forces. Although they play a large combat role in mainland areas, they are not the primary warfighting forces for mainland combat.

    Great video!
    Although the Army is often called upon to secure an area, I have yet to hear anyone officially describe us as having "occupation" as a primary mission. Except for certain designated units (the Ranger Battalions, etc.) the Army is the "attrition" force. We are designed to do maintain the majority of combat activity in a certain Area of Operation (AO). The Marine Corps and the Ranger Regt. will sieze control of a specific point (very often a 'hard' target) and the Army will exploit that break in the enemy's line. In a perfect world the Marines or Rangers would then be withdrawn to conserve their strength for the next mission. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of resistance and envy between the 'orthodox' infantry and specialized infantry units. This usually leads to excessive casualties among specialty assault elements who in general are not equipped for protracted ground combat.

    • @fredcollins8919
      @fredcollins8919 2 года назад +4

      Orthodox (Army) Infantry then simply needs to "loosen up" ASAP & train & serve alongside specialized Army infantry/Airborne (paratroop) units much more often, nationwide/worldwide thus immediately & effectively reducing & eventually eliminating that gap you mention sir (very doable too) while also increase joint training with USMC Infantry & foreign Allied NATO & Non NATO Infantry forces.
