The USMC is a great fighting organization with a proud and glorious history. Notwithstanding that I would pit any of the Army platoons in which I served and trained against any Marine infantry platoon any time anywhere. In every major war the US Army does most of the fighting, kils and captures most of the enemy, and captures most of the ground, if for no other reason then that it is the largest ground combat outfit.

In Vietnam on the DMZ I served on joint ops with the 26th Marines. They were a great outfit but they were no more effective against the tough NVA than my boys.
