lots of countries have marines.
Dang---it IS true that you learn something new everyday!
You mean there are like a French Marine Corps, a German Marine Corps, an Italian Marine Corps?
I am sorry, I thought that though other countries had navys, air forces, and armies---that the Marines were uniquely Americas....I hate to say this, but I am kind of disappointed...
My father was a Marine, and I always thought of him as truly a FEW of the proud...Marines...sigh....
