Unlike Battle Fleet officers and crews, who could easily go through an entire career without seeing any combat at all, the Marines were a real fighting force.
Interesting. The Marines are better than the Navy.
Mainly because the Marines actually have to fight, like Frontier Fleet only more so. While the Battle Fleet twits only do exercises that everyone already knows the details of. Not quite unlike the US Military during the Ford/Carter era.
