Drop the PC bullshite. Navy is full of gays. Air Force is full of frightened pussies. You have to have a learning disability to get in the Army. And I'm pretty sure they teach you how to beat your wife in the Marine's basic training.

But to answer the question, it's the Navy.

Why does the Navy require its own army? Because it can't function without land bases, and the Navy needs an army to secure those land bases.

The function of the Navy is to provide mobility and secure lines of communication to our land and air forces while denying mobility and secure lines of communication to the enemy. Those are vital functions given the surface of planet Earth, and the U.S. Navy is the best at performing those functions, but wars aren't won until the enemy's army gives up the fight.

Every conflict the U.S. has been involved in since the end of WWII has been fought with total U.S. naval supremacy. What did the Navy do to bring about victory in Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Kuwait, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now against ISIS? The Navy has not been decisive in any of those military conflicts. If the Navy is the most important branch of the military why hasn't it won any wars for the U.S.?
