Goofy question!
He’s commander in chief.

Goofy question!
Not really, if you understand the context. The "specifically" part of the question is what is important. The 4chan post suggests that POTUS has some special or unique authority with respect to the Marines that he does not have with respect to the other armed services. See post #37 which explains that the President may have some additional authority regarding the Marines that is different from the standard "Commander-in-Chief" role over all of the armed forces.
