The Marines are good soldiers. However they were conceived as the Navy's Infantry and need to remain so. They do what they can to become a separate service i.e. their own air force. The Force Recon was conceived to fill a nitch in their own infantry operations. What they really want is to replace all other services, of course then they will no longer be the "Few and the Proud", just part of the mob.
They are shock troops, originally not intended for extended operations but to hold an area for other troops. They had best be wary. They may get what they want and then go the way of the Airborne Divisions in the Army/
