USMC vs Canadian Army..whos better?

[Exodia]

I know I may get flamed for this...but when I was taking my SQ course in Shilo...the standards warrant said that our army is superior to the USMC....I'm thinking....wha? I am patriotic and all and I love the army  . But I don't know what he was talking about. Anyone?

Until the USMC adds a Highland Regiment to it's order of battle, we will certainly be cooler.

Beautifully put.
To the OP, you might want to just start with something a little more ... open. For example, Canadian Army vs. US Army?

Badger, how about no.

All these threads about Canadian Army vs US Marines, Army, etc is stupid, goes no where and are juvenile IMO.

Both(CF and US Military) are quite capable, and excel at what they do.

There are Pros and Cons to each, neither are perfect.

Personally, I like the citrus taste of oranges, but apples are convenient in that one does not have to peel them...

Personaly, i like hiting apples with baseball bats.........

 

[Rheostatic]

Oranges are good for that too, but I suggest eye protection.

This question makes about as much sense as comparing the Allouettes with the Canadiens.  The USMC and the Canadian Army have different roles and although there is some common ground (as do the Allouettes and the Canadiens - they're all young athletic men), comparing the two isn't really possible.

And, like the USMC, neither is ever likely to wear kilts.  iper:

You guys wanna arm wrestle over it?  op:

Let's settle this debate with a paintball skirmish between USMC and CAN ARMY.

Intersting topic.  I know a guy who was in the CF, then went to the USMC. He was pretty clear that there were good things about both organizations, but that they were both far and away much better than the US Army, if that's any consolation!

I've talked to a few folks on here who have done that and am seriously considering it myself.  This thread could have potentially been valuable asking what similarities and differences both organizations have instead of a simply "what's better".

I think we'd destroy them at hockey, they'd beat us at football (depending if it's 3 or 4 down ball), and baseball would be a toss up.

Mainly good ol' fashioned combat arms type stuff: fitness, skill at arms and other individual training standards, initiative etc.

So I guess hitting oranges with bats is out....Frig, this thread is boring.
