I am not taking anything away from the troops-USMC is good at what they do and have great troops, however they often see themselves in direct competition with the Army when it comes to light infantry for short duration operations. Look at what they call MEU(SOC), that really has only to do with one portion of the mission and that is DA/CT and not UW.
