marines

Short-form name for ship-based infantry created by Henry VIII to kick the French's arse.
Royal Marine Commandos are the best equipped rapid-reaction shock/assault force on the planet - anyone who parachutes field artillery into place before the ground troops means business.
Praised by the French Foriegn Legion (there's irony for you); Russian Spetznaz; the USMC (but never in public, looks bad in the papers). These dudes are the second-best infantry unit... If only they could find the best...

George W. Bush: "Well, we need to open Iraq up for oil.. I mean, to secure worldwide democracy. Think I'll send the USMC in to clear the ground."
Tony "Poodle" Blair: "Don't worry, darling, I'll send the Royals in first, you know they love dying for no good reason. Now, please f*ck me up the a*se again? Please??"

Marine

A group of people who pride themselves in being strict and hardcore to the outsider. Someone who takes pride in how the uniform looks on them, but cannot even spell ASVAB (not asvap dumb ass) an abbreviation of the test required to enter any military branch. This strange group of people are happy living in conditions that make the ghetto look like Beverly Hills. They make fun of what they don't understand ie. the Air Force and the Army. A group that is proud of the fact that they were in Fallujah and stirred up a hornets nest. However they forget to mention the Army had to come in and save their asses. It is a given that their Basic Training is among if not the toughest, but being stronger than the man or woman beside them does not make them bullet proof. Being in the US flying a UAV or hiding behind the Army does. These people think that they are better than every one around them, but are in fact no different than any of the people around them. All signed a voluntary contract, all proudly serve (however misguided it may be), and all would die proudly in battle for the country they serve and protect. The biggest difference between any other branch of the military and Marines is the fact that all other branches have the ability to use common sense

Wow, are we on a Military installation or did we go to the ghetto? I thought military bases were well kept. I guess the Marines here in Hawaii don't know how to maintain their buildings.

Dang I saw that guy in the gym every day too bad his brain wasn't strong enough to tell him to get out of the way of that bullet.

Why don't Marines have their own medics? Because they rely on the Navy for everything else they figure what the hell we will use theirs since none of our guys are smart enough to learn how to do it.

I guess the Army gives all the junk helicopters to the Marines. They are the only branch to still rely heavily on the Huey and the Cobra. Hello try upgrading to a Black Hawk or an Apache!! They are newer and more sophisticated machines never mind simplicity is more your cup of tea. SORRY!!

ALL MARINE PAYCHECKS ARE SIGNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY!!

US Marine Corps

A large, powerful organisation operated by the US Government. Very often trigger happySpecially trained to inflict maximum innocent civilian casualties and to fire on allied forces. Unlike an elite, hardened force of veteran soldiers (see Royal Marines), they are an unwieldy force, with more than 1,500,000 troops.
Battle Honours:
Mexican War
World War 1 (After waiting to see who was winning before joining brave Britain and France)
World War 2 (Same as above)
Korean War (Commies 1 Marines 0)
The 'nam (Commies 1 Marines 0)
Iraq

Afghanistan (see Friendly Fire

US Marine Corps soldier in Humvee: I can see foot mobiles approaching
Commander: Do they look friendly?
Marine: I think so
Commander: Lets not take any chances (Call in an F-18 airstrike)
British Soldier: WHAT THE F*CK!!!! BLUE ON BLUE!!!! FRIENDLY, FRIENDLY
Commander: Holy Crap.....this is gonna take alot of explaining.......

Marine Corps

A group of high school dropouts that desperately wants to be like the infantry. Organization and organic weapon systems suited for a shock force only; the marine corps is commonly used as a conventional infantry force and subsequently manages to take more casulties than their infantry counterparts. Marines are too arogant to be called "soldiers" and too stupid to take cover when a fire-fight starts.

When you need a force of unintelligent drones, ready to take an objective by sustaining tremendous casulties, thus depleting the enemies ammunition, send in the marine corps. When you want an objective destroyed by overwhelming firepower, superior tactics, a feat of combined arms mastery, staying power, and the flexability to perform a variety of missions.....send in the Army!!!

"All right Marines, we're headed to Afghanistan!"

"But how are we gonig to get there?"

"I've got the CO of the Kearsarge on the line. We'll hitch a ride with them."
