I may have crippled myself chasing a basket ball, but at least we were playing by “combat rules” when it happened.

You aren’t factoring in that the Navy performs a vast amount of duties for the the Marines, in other words when someone counts Marine deaths per capita, they don’t count great numbers of support and administration, medical, transportation and so on.

Notice that the Army is not only it’s combat arms units, but basically the entire personnel and MOS structure of a Navy and Marines put together.

Ever met a Seabee or a Seal? Hell, even the Air Force has some really bad-a$$ specialty groups. It wasn’t that way so much when I was in... but that was awhile back. Things have changed.

If Biden really cared about the U.S. he’s have shot his boss a few years ago.

My Dad always told me that the Marine Corp was in
the Department of the Navy...the men's department.
