My experiences as a soldier in the Army also bias me since Marines are nothing special

I do have to say though, from the stand point of experiences of friends and family of mine (Who served in JTF2 - Canadian version of Delta Force), the general word is that Marine’s are more “Fanatical” than they are “Problem solvers”.
Order them to stay in Stalingrad and fight unlimited hordes of evil Russians, and they would - with a smile on thier face, they’re tough, and all they want to do is kill and DIE for the corps. Marines would do it without air support, tactically retreating, food, water, or supplies. If die in place is the order - that’s it.
But… they aren’t the ones thinking and then saying “Let’s redeply on that ridge over there, where we’ll likely suffer ALOT less casualties.”
But hey, what do I know? I haven’t trained with them, or fought with them, or fought against them.
Mind you after some political favours one time, I did get an official letter of gratitude from the Corps… that was cool.
