Question
Ive wanted to join the military since i was real young but i cant decide to join the army or the marines. i don't care about the training or the benefits, i just want to see action. i want to see action so i can make the biggest difference. i want to build a career and maybe get my own team. i plan on making it to a high rank but first i have to decide whether to join the army or the marines, so my question is which one sees more combat and does the most difference.

Answer
They both see action. Plenty of it. If you join Marine Corps infantry then you'll be among the best in the world. However, you can look into Army Rangers as well. It all comes down to which recruiter can sell his service the best. Keep in mind Im partial to the marines!
