The differences between Marines and Soldiers is that a Marine wanted to be something more then just a Soldier. A Marine is taught to respect his image and what his image means, hence the reason we don't wear our work uniforms in public especially at a Pep Boys with our blouse off (frigging nasty senior enlisted Soldier i saw the other day, you sir are nasty), the basic Marine receives as much combat training as a basic infantry Soldier so that things like Jessica Lynch don't happen to Marines, Marines have airplanes and helicopters, and above all Marines are Marines not Soldiers and Soldiers are Soldiers and didn't earn the title Marine.
