> “The USMC is the only branch of the Military that can accept orders DIRECTLY from the POTUS”
Thank you. I did not know that. Do you know the historical basis for this direct command?
I think from the formation of the corps, but that would need to be verified. We have some marines here on the threads, perhaps by the time you see this, they may have clarified that for you.
For us the important thing is that this IS the fact. The very early drops last spring were all about laying out the special relationship that POTUS has with the marines and the national guard.
