$710.96.. The price of freedom.
The difference I care about can be seen in the difference in what happened in Fallujah and what happened in the Holy Cities in the South. The Army succeeded and the Marines did not.
Do you really want to unwittingly foster that imression of conservatives here?
The baby carriage is hilarious.
the marines are no longer a department of the navy but a separate branch unto themselves.
i see two individuals who are proudly serving in the war on terror, one spending time with his young child in tow...
both risking their lives for the protection of mine... i salute them both.

Q: Why did the Navy create the Marine Corps?
A: So they would have someone to dance with!
Put the Army dude in his Class A uniform and you wont be able to make that kind of comparison. All our guys look good in dress.
I have nothing against the proud Marines. What do you have against proud Soldiers?
How successful would any Marine be without supplies being delivered by the Army?

Appearing comfortable?
Funny photo, but Marines have families too.
The Army doesnt have any 'Sea Going Bellhops" carrying 'the Admiral's luggage'

What did that jarhead shines his shoes with ...a hersey bar?

The basic difference between the two services boils down to a belief in people.
The Army believes that if shuffles and reshuffles the organization charts - if it changes regiments to Pentomic battle groups, then into brigades, and now into who knows what - that victory is assured, regardless of the quality of the soldiers in those units.
The Marine Corps believes that if it finds the right people, trains and motivates them properly, then the structure of the organization doesn't matter.
Well, to be honest, the first thing that jumps out at me is that both are in the "fig leaf" position!
During the American Revolution, the red coats looked pretty impressive too.
... and the fact that these two are working as a team should not be lost.
Both services can sparkle on parade or get get down and dirty when called to.
And when the crap hits the fan, either one would give his life for our freedom!
Semper Fi
My wife has got gloves just like that.
The difference is that the Marines need the ARMY to rescue there asses out of situations where they are fixin to get severly whoooped... This has been the case down through history.... There is no instances of the Marines ever rescueing the ARMY...
