If you noticed i didnt put Marines on that list, because either in the Declaration of Independence or Constitution (i forgot) it says something about the Marines always being in the US Military. So which Special Force do you think we dont need as much as the others? Also remember this, the Air Force recieves more funding than all the other Armed Forces' combined...


EDIT. This isnt a favorite, least favorite thing, its which you think we no longer require.

But if you think about it most countries only have 1-3. Air, Ground, and maybe sea. Also some of them might be combined, and i think the Marines and the Army have basically the same purpose therefore i put my vote for them.

I think the Air Force and the Navy Can Combine into Each other.

Also I think the Marines could be a Special Branch in the Army that you can join, kinda like Rangers and special Forces...

most countries arent trying to "police" the rest of the world. and if you didn't know, the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy. each branch of the service is essential. the difference between the Marines and the Army is the Marines are meant as a fast and hard attack while the Army is meant for overwhelming force and occupation.

*e: if china and russia teamed up they wouldnt last very long. everyone knows communism doesnt work. havent you seen Enemy at the Gates?

Russia isn't a communist state it is a federation, and don't cite movies when commenting on anything political.

And another thing how does Enemy at the Gates show Communism doesn't work? I thought it just reaffirmed that Stalin killed millions of his own citizens.

The thing is, we have them all... you can't just boot one. Imagine how many soldiers we would lose on a transfer from one service to another?

Correct me if I am wrong.

Air force is all home land, navy is mostly over seas. I don't get what combining would do. They are both necessary.

You totally missed the whole point of none. The vote is which branch can we do without...none meaning we need them all...

the air force recieves more funding because they need more funding... it costs a lot more to design a nice new aircraft than to a design a spiffy new gun. not to mention all the other classified research and development the air force does. We should keep them all and we will. although, the marines and army are very similar(at least it seems) im sure an expert can point out some vital differnces. anyhow, as koolit said we have them all, so whether they should or should not be they are staying. all of them.

EDIT. This isnt a favorite, least favorite thing, its which you think we no longer require.

1. Special Forces is a small group of elite soldiers, Delta Force, Navy S.E.A.L.s etc.

2. I think Jet Planes and Jet Plane recearch requiers a little more money.

And BTW removing an Armed Forces, thats pretty retarded. Havn't you heard of Air, Land and Sea? So we need atleast those, about Marines and Army, well Army I read was a harder task. The Marines are a combination of all that, they almost act by themselves in conflicts.

I don't think either should be removed, if your upset about funding, then make a poll "Should the Armed Forces funding be decreased"

the Airforce came form the Army in the mid 1900's (theres a cadence about it they sing @ westpoint) the Marines are still a deparment of the Navy, and the Army has be around since 1775. i say they need to stick to what there main purpuse is, Army = ground pounders, Airforce = flying, Navy = sea defence. the only exception to this should be the SEALS. (BTW seals have a 10.9 billion dollar budget but thats from 1995 when my uncle retired [capt. 0-6], its probley more now)

Forgetting something important again.

You guys say that the air force has the most money because they are designing jet aircraft.

Look at the navy.

A) Think about the money that goes into building, planning, maintaining, and fueling ships. On top of that aircraft carriers.

B) The navy has the largest number of aircraft. More then the airforce. Your chances of becoming a navy pilot are a lot better than your chances of becoming a airforce pilot.

Doesn't the airforce fund NASA? I think that is where a lot of the money goes.
