    In terms of what? In sheer scale and man power, the Army wins hands down. In discipline and conditioning of the individual warrior, it's the Marines. In SF guys, the Army wins that. USMC has only 1 SF branch and that's MARSOC. Army has many more. Although Marine Scout Snipers are in fact better than the Army equivalent. In air power, Marines. In terms of general equipment the Army has a larger budget so generally it has better equipment. In terms of special assaults the Marines win that. Yes the Army does put on quite a show when a ground invasion happens. However when the Marines and the Navy storm a beach, hold on to your f***ing helmet, here comes the storm. But in the end we all fight for the same side, all for the same purpose. The argument could go either way depending on the pride you have in your service branch.

      • The Marines have higher fitness and professionalism standards and more rigorous training. That being said, the Marines are not a replacement for the Army, and vice versa. They fill different roles.

      • Members of the Army Aren't Ready for Marines Yet. Nah, just kidding. I acknowledge that they both do their part in defending 'Murrica, but I think I have a bias toward the Marines because they seem the more 'elite' of the two.

        I think this sums it up.

          Army offers more jobs. Some of those involve sitting in a chair. Over all I believe the Army is better. Marines are still bad ass though.

        • In all my experiences with both of them: Marines are in much better shape. They're much more disciplined. They aren't very bright, but they have common sense. If the Sergeant, CO, or whoever needs something done, they'll get it done. The Army likes to waste time on stupid things. They aren't held to the same standards. They lack common sense.
