I was both Marines and Army National Guard (infantry), rapidly promoted in both, and I really know both cultures. The Army sure proved on D-Day, once and for all, that they can do amphibious too, and cooperate with the Navy as well.

But the competition between the two branches is good. The Marines are as proficient as they are partly out of rivalry with the Army, and the Army is always trying to show those stuck-up Devil Dogs they are their equal. The rivalry, within proper limits, is a very good thing!
Of course, what we really need is to listen to George Washington (bring our American boys right back home, and butt out of foreigner problems), and instead defend America on the border with Mexico!
