I'd say the difference is that the marines are statistically more active than the other branches.
Their personnel and trainers ahve seen more action than all the others combined.
That experience also makes them want to train harder, as the older personnel will know its value.
You could join the army and never see action, unless your division was involved.
The army is really there to provide the backbone of US military influence.
The marines help carve out new areas of influence. When you sit on something like the army is meant to, you just need weight. When you carve, you need a sharp edge.
