Not really, unless you're also going to argue that 'the right to bear arms' means in the U.S. people have a constitutional right to carry around the upper limbs of ursines. Militarily, 'marines' mean 'ship-borne forces.' ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1314331.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1314331.page GMT Cooler Names.... HH, it was called the Imperial Army, and around the same time the Codex Astartes went into effect, the Imperial Army was split into the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy. It would make much more sense if it had started as the Imperial Guard and then split into Imperial Navy and Imperial Army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1314373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1314373.page GMT Cooler Names....

Thats the problem with multiple definitions of the same word with the same spelling and same pronunciation.

And I don't think it matters. Neither army is very cool.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1314377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1314377.page GMT Cooler Names....

Well the air force does have ground troops at least in the US and I beleive in Britain, (are the SAS considered members of the Air Force?) and in america the army has its own air force, the navy has both an army and an airforce, and the marines have it all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1317478.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1317478.page GMT Cooler Names....

Not really. The Airforce have TACPs and CCTs, which deal with calling in airstrikes, as well as PJ's, which rescue downed pilots or other personnel behind enemy lines, and Air Force security is pretty hardcore. Yes, they are technically ground troops, but their mission's are all so tied into Air Force assets that they don't act independently.

The Army doesn;t have an airforce. They haven;t since after WWII. They've got helicopters, which don;t count.

The Navy has SeaBees and SEALS, and Corpsmen, which are hardly enough to constitute and army. They do have a great deal of air power. Yes.

The Marines have both ground and air assets, but most of their naval power is Navy stuff they're tagging along on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1317912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277981/1317912.page GMT Cooler Names....
