Jealousy of what?! The Marines are one of the best groups in the world, who the fuck are you, some Iraqi terrorist?

Let me see the countless times Marines have won the war for us! The Pacific theather WWII, and right now in Iraq and Afghan

[Conserative Morality]

so how come this forum isn't full of yanks pissing and moaning about British infantry?

Starting to catch on, slowly, I see.

[Caninope]

That has something to do with the percentage rates actually sent in...

because it has nothing to do with not taking cover when Terry is making shot at you as opposed to the US infantry that can perform tasks like checkpoints?

look I don't actually mind the USMC as a fighting force but when your going out making outlandish claims of being the best you had better have something to back that up rather than "hurr we are the best of the best" because people are gonna call you on it

I never said that. The difference is that a higher percentage of the USMC is sent, leading to a higher casualty rate.

so now your downplaying the sacrifices made by everyone else? I asked for an actual source like say besting the FFL or something

I never said that. The difference is that a higher percentage of the USMC is sent, leading to a higher casualty rate.

that's not only incorrect but also nonsensical

[Marcurix]

Green Berets id say, give it a go and if you get in youll have something to be proud of. If not the Marines are a good backup.

thought id get in before it turns into a silly debate of people screaming how the USMC is supposedly the best of the best.

[Katonazag]

So today I was offered an application for the Green Berets. However, I was previously planning to switch to the Marine Corps.

Even if I take the application, there is a fucking incredible drop-out rate, so I probably couldn't get in. But maybe I should still try.

What's NSG's opinion? Green Berets or Marine Corps? Both highly badass.

Make sure you either get a college degree or certification in a trade skill before you get out, whichever you end up choosing. Your military career won't last forever. As far as GB vs. Marines, go GB. It's more exclusive.

this.

the amount of people who join the military for a career but then leave at a later date once they have had enough bullshit is astounding and only a fool would turn down the opportunity to pick up trade skills because of this

your downplaying sacrifices.

like seriously there is a limit to what you can boast and winning wars is not one of them

[Questers]

I wouldn't go into the military unless it was in an officer position.

fuck off, you little twerp

[Chazicaria]

Try for the Green Berets and if that doesn't work out, you can still join the Marines!

[Techno-Soviet]

Special Forces gets you a college degree and a shitload more money because of hazard pay. Also, you get to wear the Special Forces Airborne tab.

[Questers]

Be a marine because then you could become chesty puller.

When people say the Marines won the Japanese war, it wasn't boasting it was the truth

Damn.

I am beaten. Jarhead. Now.

[Natapoc]

When are you going to join the anarchist militia? Enough taking orders. Be an army of one!

Being a Green Beret will make you sound cooler and more popular then "just" being a marine.

So if you care about silly titles and stuff you would pick Green Beret. You may also be interested in comparing pay scales.

But seriously, go to the one you think will be most fun and remember, if Palin wins the 2012 presidency and orders you to shoot up a remote village of half naked mostly unarmed people always remember your propaganda (but always misapply it )... JUST SAY NO!

Hey guys stop arguing about what branch is the best because you would all be dead if the Air Force did not run the Nuclear Detterent.
