A question recently posted on Quora asks: “Why are the Marines feared and the Army is not?” Check out the answers below and add your own in the comments.
 

George Cassidy, U.S. Marine veteran

As a former Marine, I can tell you that anyone who does not respect (or fear, whatever term you’d prefer) the capabilities of the US Army should never hold a rank above Private .

The Marines definitely have a warrior culture, but the Army has a broad range of capabilities including units with their own warrior culture.

If an enemy has a choice between engaging a USMC rifle Company or an Army Ranger, Airborne, etc company, he has two bad choices.

Because the Marines are still bad-asses and the Army is now a social experiment.  Just my two-cents worth.
