The Marines are better than the Army, because the Corps have armed helicopters, (the Cobra), and armed fixed wing aircraft (the Hornet and the Harrier). The Army only has armed helicopters (the Apache). If the Apache isn't good enough to provide air support for the Army, they the Army has to beg the Air Force to pretty please send in the A-10 Warthog, which the Air Force plans to send to scrap heap in Tucson, Arizona and replace with the F-35 Lighting II as soon as possible.
The us army is a more strategic fighter and are not on the front line as much as the marines. The marines are better trained soldiers that spend most of their time on the front line. The two answers offered above are more perception than fact.
New Answer: The main difference is this; the US Army in an independent service while the US Marine Corps is part of the US Navy.
The difference is the place that they operate. An army is usually during land and terrain missions while a marine is usually sea missions.
You have it wrong, the Army is one of the five branches of the military, along with the Air Force, Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard (in the US). The military is the whole of all service branches (not just the US, but any country).
There isn't much of a difference as the Marines are both water and ground based Only major differences are ranks, boot camp is harder in Marines, and Navy is all Sea.
There is a world of difference as far as training and how things are run. The Marines are more specialized for combat. All Marines regardless of occupation receive infantry training. If you want an exact answer, you should call a recruiter. They could probably give you an awesome answer to this question.Taken from Yahoo Answers:The Army has a very different function than the Marines, and a wider mission during wartime. The first difference is between the missions of the respective forces. The Marines are a relatively small branch of the Navy. Their mission is primarily to conduct initial combat operations and establish a small foothold from which they can operate until larger forces arrive. The Army's mission is much bigger. Along with establishing a foothold, they also expand the foothold into entire theaters of operations. The Marines and the Army fight battles.

The US Army fought more because there were more of them, but the US Marines also fought against the Germans in France.
Perhaps the biggest difference is that cadets at the US Military Academy, West Point, are trained as officers for the US Army, and those at the US Naval Academy, Annapolis, are trained as officers for the US Navy and Marines.
6821 Americans died, but none of them were soldiers. Soldiers belong to the Army, and it was the US Marines who took Iwo Jima. So all the casualties were Marines, or medics serving with the Marines, who are US Navy Corpsmen. There were also 19,217 US wounded.
You are mixing services. Rangers are a part of the US Army. US Marines are a separate military unit.
You can't.
The US Army
they wore green uniforms but the unifroms were different in between army units and the marines had 2 different uniforms
