Marines are hilarious. Obsolete, largely without purpose, would probably be wiped out in the first days of a peer or near peer war due to being, you know, infantry. But intensely proud of that.
Yeah. the US does have total air superiority, but if anything happens to challenge that there's no way the US will be able to pivot to ground warfare quickly, if ever. Like if the S-500s can reliably shoot down F-35s or someone invents a giant ass laser that can melt B-52s the whole US war machine crumbles.

Curious to see how it goes if the death cult is asked to actually die.
Honestly, they serve more an actual military purpose than the fighter jocks or much of the surface fleet.
Edit: I guess one issue with US infantry is that they are trained with the assumption of compete air superiority.
