- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoAh, I understand, thanks for explaining. I would still argue that something specifically focused on flaws in the marines is probably left-field of someone who was in the US navy if they’re sister orgs. (This is not to say the flaws are inaccurate or that the navy doesn’t have issues, only that they should be leveled accurately to the organization of the military.)
- ethbr0 5y agoAfaik, the easiest way to explain it is that the Marines get their funding as a branch of the Navy, but their orders and command as their own branch.
