In my country we only have the air force, army, and navy who cover the air, land, and the sea, respectively. What makes the Marines and Coast Guard different?
(Also, why do the Marines have a reputation for being bloodthirsty crayon chewers? Is that what makes them special?)
In: 1
Coast guard- while considered a branch here in the USA they are actually under Homeland security 90% of the time. They run drug patrols and search and rescue among other things. During a time of war they fall under the navy control.
Marines- they are the army of the navy (dont tell them that) their orginal purpose was ship to ship fighting. In modern times they are ship to shore assualt. They are the beach stormers.
As for what makes marines so notorious its their training. They believe that every marine is an infantry unit thus all are trained with rifiles and can fight. Its also part of their mindset much like spartans where.
