Let's talk about how the Marine Corps has been propping up the US Army since WWI

The people in the army who are involved in actual fighting, why wouldnt their training be at a marines level? They suffer the most casualties in war as it is. Maybe they need better training.
It's all relative. There's a lot more soldiers in theatre than marines so casualty numbers straight up don't mean much
why aren't linemen trained to throw a ball like a quarterback?
This isnt a game, its real life. If being a better rifleman would mean less casualties, why not train them better. A lineman doesnt need to throw a ball, hes defending a line. But guess how much better he could defend the QB if he had a butcher knife in his hand.
I'm not sure what this assumption is that the army receives some sort of inferior rifle training
you're right that it's not a game, despite the competitive nature of this thread. all the armed forces receive the training they need for their different roles. it's like asking why everyone doesn't receive the same training as special forces
The biggest difference is that the Army drill instructor teaches you how to march....
The Marine Drill instructor is a demon from he11 who is after your body, mind, soul and butt who will make 12 weeks of your life a living he11. He will hound you from 5:00AM until midnight and after. He will humiliate, ignore, yell, curse and call you a mammas boy. He will remind you daily that YOU signed up for this so YOU are required to finish the job. He will remind you that everything you are or own belongs to him and you have no body parts you can call your own. Your thoughts are his too, because he can READ YOUR MIND. He know this because he will ask you if you are thinking of something and you will reply YES SIR....because you NEVER will be able to tell him NO. He will remind you daily that you are lower than dirt and worthless as a blown tire. He will also tell you that you will not escape him...you will become a Marine or you will die in his presence. - From yahoo.
Army instructors from what im reading are more like your father.
Im already seeing a stark difference in what these methods will produce.Then again
Devil Dog, I suggest you actually go and learn the real history of Fallujah. The 82nd Airborne had control of the city, and after RIP/TOA with the USMC the city went to he11 fast. My Battalion held a sector for 7 months before the USMC came in, and within a month of taking over they pulled out saying it was "too hard to defend."

I'd rather take a Female Marine Cook to battle than some of the soldiers in the US Army.

Army instructors *2* from what im reading are more like your father.
*1* my hitch was 97-01, (US Army), is this some new shyt?
i directly recall life beginning EVERY morning at 3am, regardless of fireguard duty that night
and my DIs was about all that shyt in your post, PLUSSSSSSSS
this was before the CNN investigation, and was in peacetime, so the enlistment numbers hadn't dropped yet
hands were put on mafukkas, breh
that was Basic tho; AIT we still went extra hard, cause a Marine detachment was stationed @ Ft Lee, and we wasnt gonna let them suckas outrun us.
5am? not even on weekends
*2* this is probably the problem right here; g'head and sign up, they could use you
