What is better in your opinion, the German Bundeswehr or the U.S. Marines?

Question

Please include supporting details. I would like to know which one of the two you like more and why. The main rifle issued to the German infantry is the G-36, while the main rifle issued to the U.S. Marines is the M16. Just keep that in mind when you make your selection.

Answer 1

This is ridiculous, the german army soldiers are mere standard trained troops of a mediocre military nation, while the United States Marines are the elite branch of by far the finest military the world has ever seen, and the G36 makes no difference as they both fire the 5.56 round, it might be SLIGHTLY more reliable but other than nothing too special.the U.S. Army is better than the German Army, and the Marine Corps is better than the Army.plain and simple.there was a German exchange student i befriended in high school and we often talked about the Marine Corps, and he would often make fun of his own countries Army, and i would frequently throw in his face that we beat them in WW2, although it was all in good fun.

Answer 2

Back in the 60's while stationed in Germany we used to train with the Germans, - while we would be operational 19 - 20 hours a day they were 24, they were tough troops, we had M-14's not sure what they had at the time - thank God I never had to fight them like our father's did in WW2.
