Are you saying the Marines are navy personnel? I thought they were definitely soldiers. Doesn't that mess with their operational function, if they are so embedded with the army yet there are a load of Navy top brass also teling them what to do?

Next you'll be telling us the Rangers aren't either a Scottish football team, nor forestry workers, but are in fact part of the army!

The Marines are part of the navy and the Rangers are special forces.

On that note lets agree to disagree
