actually the marines dont usually fight first, thats a myth made up by the marines for recruitment, the army usually is the first on the ground during combat, either the rangers, special forces or the airborne.
the marines do more support operations in support of embassies tho - the marines also do allot of the show of force stuff, but when its a real war, the army is the leader - thats why they get all the good stuff
