Yes , US Marines are among the most battle hardened because of their extensive exposure to combat in a wide variety of wars .
Although global in combat, the countrysides of France and Belgium were the main battlefields for American soldiers.
In the First World War, the United States sent soldiers & marines to fight in France against the Germans. That is where the vast majority went in 1917-1918.
The Gurkha soldiers fought on behalf of the British in World War 2. There was a separate 'Gurkha regiment' in British Army. The Gurkha soldiers were very faithful and obedient and they laid down their lives in the battlefield fighting for the British army.
During World War II male marines often referred to female marines as being BAMs which stood for BROAD ASSED MARINES. The female marines returned the favor by referring to male marines as HAMs which stood for HAIRY ASSED MARINES.
US Servicemen (US Marines, US Soldiers, US Coast Guardsmen, US Airmen, US Sailors) returned home after the Armistice was signed in July 1953.
No, they are some of the very best trained Marines in the World.
As the paras are the elite part of the army, the Royal Marines are the elite part of the Navy. Some of the most feared soldiers in the world. They're basic training is the longest training program in NATO. (31 weeks)

There were approximately 837 New Zealand soldiers killed in France during World War 2. This was not just on their home front, though. It was all over the battlefield.
Until World War II, women who served in the wars were primarily nurses and secretaries. During World War II, women were used as pilots to fly soldiers to and from the battlefield areas. They flew the planes that flew soldiers home.
The United States Marines were the only group of soldiers which were under foreign command during World War 1. These soldiers were used as reinforcements where needed.
No American soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for the battle of Iwo Jima, largely because no American soldiers fought the battle of Iwo Jima. (Marines get really mad if you call them soldiers, and Iwo Jima was a Marine action.) Twenty-three Marines and four sailors earned the Medal of Honor for this battle. Fourteen of the Medals were earned posthumously--the recipient died doing his heroic action. Only eighty-two Marines earned the Medal in all of World War II.
Royal marines outright
to remember all the soldiers that have given their lives to safe their country.(soldiers that have died to save their country/0. hope this will answer your question.:)
Its, mostly based on perspective, but the Royal Marines probally have the best track record for both. The best in the U.S. is the USMC.
