Why is the Marine Corps the meme-iest branch? It's like they understood the value of symbols and traditions and this image of being a tough, hardened killer and used it in their recruitment, despite their apparent hardships compared to the other branches. Was this intentional or did it come naturally?

They're the slightly retarded red-headed step child that wasn't given quite enough attention so they're bitter, and the chain of command passes down this bitterness to the new guys so its a perpetual cycle of butthurt.
And now they're getting attention because the US government let them take some islands from rice farmers and need to prove something because they'll never quite equal the armies achievements, everyone says they're great but they know they're inadequate.

they spend the most on marketing. To build up an image what a marine and the marine corp are.

Not really. Their budget for recruitment/advertising is miniscule especially when compared to other branches.

Got every other branch in japan on base curfew by raping some Japanese girls. Fuck them.
Can I get some 1Gs in the chat please?
I was fucking a marine in the ass the other day and it dawned on me that the dude might be a fucking faggot.
If there wasn't a daily Marine hate thread this wouldn't be /k/.

Because they've got nothing else of note.

I have to admit that the marines make their image really work for them. They get all the dumb kids that have something to prove, indoctrinate them, then have them spout all the marine shit they teach them and get even more dumb kids to join up.

USMC doesn't make any fucking sense. Why do they even have tanks, or aircraft? Shit's all retarded, the only cases where you usually see "two armies" in a given state is when it's a shithole like Saudi Arabia where they need "the guard" to protect the royal family from the regular army.
Except Marines aren't like that. They aren't like anything, actually. They don't really get any special training, but they sure as shit make more noize than any real special forces unit.
But if you look at their history, they really don't have much to show for it. They suffered a lot and got their teeth kicked in the Pacific, and that's where their myth was born. In Vietnam it was much the same. There's absolutely no basis for all the hype.

It's to support their infantry.
Everything the marine Corps operates is for the sole job of infantry support. Their Harriers and F/A-18's are there for CAS, not Air to air combat.
Their Abrams are there for support of infantry, not for huge armored battles.

If this picture included the aircraft contingent it would be amazing.
