Why the hell do The Marines need a "Special Operations" outfit?

It's been said a thousand times by those a thousand times smarter then me, The United States Marine Corps is a Special Operations outfit by it's very nature.

The next thing you know someone is going to want berets.

Please God NO BERETS!!!!!!

I feel the same way. The Marines are already SpecOps, and have been for years.

Now, they want to overlap the Army Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense missions.

This sounds like a commander who wants a feather in his cap. BTW, Marines would look funny wearing a beret!

Marines already have FORCERECON and Marines go to SEALS regularly.

I don't want to see another SPECOPS created to be ignored and/or inappropriately deployed like SEALS and DELTA.

I doubt the berets will ever get much traction in Force. I think the biggest fear is not with the Marines, but at SOCOM that when the Marines show up they tend to take over due to all they bring to the table.
My son doesn't talk much but what I get is the Force guys are very excited to get a piece of the pie ($$$).
We have a friend who's son is a SEAL so we get to make a bit of a comparison and the big thing I hear is the SEALS do more shooting in a month than Force does in a year. Just bigger budgets.
